Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The diagram of the triangle is shown in the attached photo
The lengths of the given triangle form a Pythagoras triple. This means that the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides.
Area = 1/2 × base × height
Height = 3 cm
Base = 4 cm
Area = 1/2 × 3 × 4 = 6 cm²
B) The altitudes can be AB or BC. Therefore, the length of the shortest altitude is AB = 3 cm
The diagonal is the same as the hypotenuse which is also the longest side of the triangle. Thus,
Length of diagonal = 5 cm
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut point with the y axis.
By definition, if two straight lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, the slope of the line sought will be
We substitute the given point to find b:
Finally the line is:
