Answer:

8units

Step-by-step explanation:

If the coordinate (x,y) is reflected over the y axis, the resulting coordinate will be (-x, y)

For the coordinate (4,-8.5), the resulting point after reflection will be (-4, -8.5)

Using the distance formula;

D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

D = √(-8.5+8.5)²)²+(-4-4)²

D =√(-8)²

D = √64

D = 8

Hence the required distance is 8units

The sides of a triangle have lengths of x, x + 5, and 25. If the longest side is 25, which of the following values of x would ma
Amiraneli [1.4K]
In a right angle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side.
Here, the longest side is 25, the shorter sides are x and x+5.

x^2+(x+5)^2=25^2 \\
x^2+x^2+10x+25=625 \\
2x^2+10x+25=625 \ \ \ |-625 \\
2x^2+10x-600=0 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
x^2+5x-300=0 \\
x^2+20x-15x-300=0 \\
x(x+20)-15(x+20)=0 \\
(x-15)(x+20)=0 \\
x-15=0 \ \lor \ x+20=0 \\
x=15 \ \lor \ x=-20


The length of a side must be a positive number, so x=15.
The answer is C.
