Answer:

Use the Pythagorean theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem is $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ where a is a height, b is a height, and c is the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of a triangle. For example, if the triangle has two side with lengths of three and four we would put them into the equation to get:

$3^{2} +4^{2} =c^{2}$

Simplify the equation to get:

$9+16=c^2$

Add 16 and 9 to get 25 and take the square root of both sides:

$\sqrt{25} =c$

The sqrt of 25 is 5. Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse, or c, is 5.

Answer:

Plug your values into the equation A=1/2bh and do the math. First multiply the base (b) by 1/2, then divide the area (A) by the product. The resulting value will be the height of your triangle.

Find all points on the circle (x^2) + (y^2) = 676 where the slope is 5/12

borishaifa [10]

Implicit defferentation

remember that dy/dx y= dy/dx

so
take derivitive of both sides
$2x+2y \space\ \frac{dy}{dx}=0$
solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}$
minus 2x both sides
$2y \space\ \frac{dy}{dx}=-2x$
divide both sides by 2y
$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-2x}{2y}$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-x}{y}$

when is the slope equal to $\frac{5}{12}$
solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{5}{12}$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{5}{12}$
$\frac{5}{12}=\frac{-x}{y}$
$5y=-12x$
$y=\frac{-12}{5}x$
find where the circle and this line intersects

substitute $\frac{-12}{5}x$ for y
$x^2+(\frac{-12}{5}x)^2=676$
$x^2+\frac{144}{25}x^2=676$
$\frac{25}{25}x^2+\frac{144}{25}x^2=676$
$\frac{169}{25}x^2=676$
times both sides by $\frac{25}{169}$
$x^2=100$
sqrt both sides, take positive and negative roots
x=+/-10

sub back

$y=\frac{-12}{5}x$
$y=(\frac{-12}{5})(10) \space\ or \space\ (\frac{-12}{5})(-10)$
$y=\frac{-120}{5} \space\ or \space\ \frac{120}{5}$
$y=-24 \space\ or \space\ 24$

the points are (10,-24) and (-10,24)
