Answer:

(b) side WU

Step-by-step explanation:

With respect to any given acute angle in a right triangle, the sides of the triangle are called "adjacent", "opposite", or "hypotenuse".

The two sides that form angle W are WU and WV. Side WV is the longest, opposite the right angle, so it is the hypotenuse. Side WU is "adjacent" to angle W, and side UV is "opposite" angle W.

(It can help to note that the name of the opposite side UV does not contain the letter of the angle W. The name of the adjacent side WU does contain the letter of the angle.)

Answer:

D. (0, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The origin is where the axes cross. The coordinates of that point are (0, 0). The distance of a point (x2, y2) from point (x1, y1) is given by the distance formula ...

d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

When (x1, y1) = (0, 0), this reduces to ...

d = √(x² +y²)

We want to find (x, y) such that d=6. This can be a little easier if we square both sides of the equation to eliminate the radical.

x² +y² = 6² = 36

This is the equation of a circle of radius 6 centered at the origin: all points that are distance 6 from the origin. So, any point on the circle will be at a distance of 6 from the origin.

The sum of squares in each case is ...

A. 3² +0² = 9 . . . inside the circle

B. 4² +2² = 20 . . . inside the circle

C. 5² +3² = 34 . . . inside the circle

D. 0² +6² = 36 . . . on the circle at a distance of 6 from the origin

E. 4² +4² = 32 . . . inside the circle

F. 1² +5² = 26 . . . inside the circle
