What is the length of the line?
1 answer:
Hi there!
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the line.
If we draw an imaginary right triangle using the given line as the hypotenuse, we can derive a height of 6 units and a length of 10 units.
Use the Pythagorean theorem equation:
c² = a² + b²
Plug in the height and length:
c² = 6² + 10²
Simplify:
c² = 36 + 100
c² = 136
Take the square root of both sides:
c = √136. The correct answer is D.

Here are all the steps, and what they do:
STEP 1: HORIZONTAL TRANSLATION
We transform
The general transformation is
These transformations translate the graph horizontally, k units to the left if k>0, k units to the right if k<0.
In this case, k = -1, so we translate the original graph 1 unit to the right.
STEP 2: VERTICAL STRETCH
We transform
The general transformation is
These transformations stretch the graph vertically. The graph expands if |k|>1, while it shrinks if 0<|k|<1. If k is negative, we also reflect the graph with respect to the x axis.
In this case, k = 3, so we stretch the graph vertically by a factor 3.
STEP 3: VERTICAL TRANSLATION
We transform
The general transformation is
These transformations translate the graph vertically, k units up if k>0, k units down if k<0.
In this case, k = 4, so we translate the graph 4 units up.
So, we start from the original graph of and we:
- Translate it 1 unit to the right
- Stretch it vertically by a factor 3
- Translate it 4 units up
(the order is important!)
