If you form a triangle with the points B and C as two of the points of the right angled triangle then you use Pythagoras to find the length of BC.
3^2+4^2=25
√25 = 5
Answer:
x^2 - 2x + 5 = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
The (0, 5) is the point where the parabola passes through the y axis (where x = 0), so we can write the equation as
y = ax^2 + bx + 5 where a and b are constants to be found.
Also, since (1, 4) and (2, 5) are points on the curve, substituting, we have the system:
a(1)^2 + 1b + 5 = 4
a(2)^2 + 2b + 5 = 5
Simplify these 2 equations:
a + b = -1 .................(1)
4a + 2b = 0..................(2)
Multiply the first equation by -2:
-2a - 2b = 2 .................(3)
Add (2) + (3):
2a = 2
a = 1.
Substitute a = 1 into (2):-
4*1 + 2b = 0
2b = -4
b = -2.
Answer: 
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Pythagorean Theorem is: a² + b² = c² , <em>where "c" is the hypotenuse</em>
<em />
Note: 4² + (8√2)² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 12
Note: 12² + opposite² = 20² → opposite = 16
Note: adjacent² + 5² = 6² → adjacent = √11
Note: adjacent² + 7² = (13√2)² → adjacent = 17
541/2 square in I hope this helps
