Check the picture below.
notice the sides, now, on the second triangle, side 6 slants a bit more to fit in 13, on the third triangle, side 6 slants even further to fit 13 in, now, if 6 were to slant completely, it'll make a flat-line with side 5, and there will be a triangle no more.
but even if side 6 would stretch to a flat-line, 5+6 is just 11, whilst side 13 is longer than that, so no dice.
Format: y = mx + b
m = slope, b = y intercept
The answer is y = x + 2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- AB = 192 cm
- AC : CB = 1 : 3
- CD = BC/12
- The distance between midpoints of AD and CB = x
<u>Find the length of AC and CB:</u>
- AC + CB = AB
- AC + 3AC = 192
- 4AC = 192
- AC = 192/4
- AC = 48 cm
<u>Find CB:</u>
<u>Find the length of CD:</u>
- CD = BC/12 = 144/12 = 12 cm
<u>Find the length of AD:</u>
- AD = AC - CD = 48 - 12 = 36 cm
<u>Find the midpoint of AD:</u>
<u>Find the midpoint of CB:</u>
- m(CB) = AC + 1/2CB = 48 + 144/2 = 48 + 82 = 130 cm
<u>Find the distance between the midpoints:</u>

At the 'x' intercept, y=0 , and the equation is 1/3 x = 1
Multiply each side by 3 : <em>x = 3 </em> <== the x-intercept
At the 'y' intercept, x=0, and the equation is -1/2 y = 1
Multiply each side by 2 : - y = 2
Multiply each side by -1 : <em> y = -2 </em> <== the y-intercept
