Clever !
The two square roots of 50 will do that.
They are irrational numbers, so I can't write down their exact values.
They are approximately +7.0711 and -7.0711 (rounded) .
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
To find the distance between two points, you find the difference between the x values, square that, find the difference between the y values, square that, add the two numbers you got, and then find the square root.
We find the difference between the x values.
-7-2=-9
Square it.
-9²=81
We find the difference between the y-values.
5--3
5+3=8
We square it.
8²=64
We add the numbers we got.
81+64=145
We square root.
√145≈12.04
This formula comes from the Pythagorean Theorem! Now you can find the distance between any two points! Have a wonderful day! :D
Hello,
x²-64=(x+8)(x-8)

Answer:
You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the other side, which will be your base in the Area formula (A=1/2bh). So the Pythagorean theorem would be 36^2 + b^2 = 60^2. This gives you 48 in for your base/missing side length. Then, you plug it into the area formula. So, A=1/2(48) (36). This gives you 864 in^2 for the area of your triangle.
