Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean triplet
12,16,20
So, the value of x is 12
x + 256 = 400
x = 400 - 256
x = 144
The square of 12 is 144
Either a or d (I’m not sure but Ik it’s one of Those)
The coordinates of A will be (2P +M)/3
= (2(16, 14) +(1, 4))/3 = (33/3, 32/3) = (11, 32/3)
The appropriate choice is
(C) (11, 32/3)
_____
You will note that the coordinates of A are the weighted average of the coordinates of the end points. The weighting is the reverse of the ratio of the line segments. That is, the point adjacent to the shortest segment gets the highest weighting. (This is typical of the solution to "mixture" problems.)
