I qould say the answer is b. 59.
Answer:
Pythagoras’ theorem is a way to find a side or hypothesis when you have 2 sides.
The formula is: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a and b are sides
c is the hypothesis
<u>Ex: A triangle has a leg that is 5 inches and a leg that is 7 inches. Find the hypothesis using Pythagoras' theorem. </u>
A leg is another way of saying a side.
5^2 + 7^2 = c^2
25 + 49 = x^2
sqrt(74) = sqrt(x^2)
sqrt(74) inches = hypothesis
<u>Ex: A triangle has a leg that is 9 feet and a hypothesis that is 25 feet. Find the other leg using Pythagoras' theorem. </u>
9^2 + b^2 = 25^2
81 + b^2 - 81 = 625 - 81
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(544)
b = sqrt(554)

Given:
A point divides a directed line segment from (-6, -3) to (5,8) into a ratio of 6 to 5.
To find:
The coordinates of that point.
Solution:
Section formula: If point divides a line segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are
A point divides a directed line segment from (-6, -3) to (5,8) into a ratio of 6 to 5. Using section formula, we get
Therefore, the coordinates of the required point are (0,3).
Answer:
Slope = 6.000/2.000 = 3.000
x-intercept = 10/3 = 3.33333
y-intercept = -10/1 = -10.00000
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -10.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -4.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -4.000 - (-10.000) = 6.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)
