Answer:

2\sqrt {2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance From a Point to a Line</u>

Given a line with an equation :

ax + by + c = 0

And the point (x_0,y_0)

The distance from the line to the point is given by

\displaystyle d=\frac {|ax_{0}+by_{0}+c|}{\sqrt {a^{2}+b^{2}}}

The triangle has a vertex at (1,-2) and the base lies on the equation

x + y = 3

Rearranging:

x + y - 3 = 0

The altitude of the triangle is the distance from the point to the line.

The values to use in the formula of the distance are: a=1, b=1, c=-3, xo=1, yo=-2:

\displaystyle d=\frac {|1*1+1*(-2)-3|}{\sqrt {1^{2}+1^{2}}}

\displaystyle d=\frac {|1-2-3|}{\sqrt {2}}

\displaystyle d=\frac {4}{\sqrt {2}}

Rationalizing:

\displaystyle d=\frac {4}{\sqrt {2}}\cdot\frac{\sqrt {2}}{\sqrt {2}}

\displaystyle d=2\sqrt {2}

The altitude of the triangle is \mathbf{4\sqrt {2}}

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

x = √(10)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the measure of the side marked x

what we have is an isosceles right triangle since the two acute angles of the right triangle are 45 degrees each

Hence, the other last side will measure x too

Mathematically, according to Pythagoras’; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus;

x^2 + x^2 = (√5)^2

2x^2 = 5

x^2 = 5/2

x = √(5/2)

x = √5/√2

Rationalizing the denominator;

x = (√2 * √5)/(√2 * √2)

x = √10/2

SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!!!
Oliga [24]

Answer:

x = 2 1/3

y = 14 / (2 1/3) = 14 / (7/3) = 14*3/7 = 42/7 = 6

y = 6

x = 4 1/5

y = 14 / (4 1/5) = 14 / (21/5) = 14*5/21 = 70/21 = 3 7/21 = 3 1/3

y = 3 1/3

x = 7/6

y = 14 / (7/6) = 14*6 / 7 = 12

y = 12
