Show that the points A (-3, 2), B (-6, 4) and C (1, 8) are vertices of a right triangle.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle to be a right triangle there must be a pair adjacent sides which are at right angles to each other - that is whose slope product = -1.

Slope of AB = (4-2)/(-6- -3) = -2/3.

Slope of BC = (8-4)/ (1 - - 6) =  2/7

Slope of AC =  (8-2) / (1 - -3) = 6/4 = 3/2.

Now 3/2 * -2/3 = -1 so sides AB and AC are at right angles and the 3 points are the vertices of a right triangle.

What is the ultimate goal when solving equations? What do you want your final answer to look like?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{To get x on one side of the equation:} \ \ x = ...}

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve for an equation, our goal is to find the value of the variable. Any variable can be used, but for the time being let’s assume we use x.

We can algebraeically solve equations until we get the value of x - in which we will have x equal to something.

Say we have the equation 5x+5=20. Our goal is to find the value of x. <u>We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x</u>.

We can subtract 5 from both sides and divide both sides by 5.

5x=15\\\\x=3

We now know the value of x since it’s on one side of the equation.

Hope this helped!

Triangle ABC has side lengths: V6, V2, and 2/2 units.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

90°, 60°, and 30°

60°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle ABC has side lengths √6, √2, and 2√2 units.

It is clear that the triangle ABC is right triangle because (2√2)² = (√6)² + (√2)² that means the side lengths satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem.

Now, if the angle between hypotenuse (2√2 units) and base (√2 units) is \theta, then

\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2\sqrt{2} }  = \frac{1}{2}

Hence, \theta = 60°

Therefore, the three angles of the triangle are 90°, 60°, and 30°.

Now, if the base of the triangle is 16 units, then other two side lengths will also change proportionally to remain the triangle a right triangle.

And in that case the base angle will remain 60°. (Answer)
