The total number of handshakes = 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 36
Answer: 36 handshakes
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given coordinates of the rectangle ABCD:</u>
- A(0, 0), B(a, 0), C(x, y), D(0, b)
Lets first find coordinates of C
We can see that A and B are on same line horizontally, so C and D will be on the parallel line
The distance AB and CD are equal also distance AD and BC are equal, therefore
- AB = a - 0 = a, CD = a
- AD = b - 0 = b, BC = b
<u>So the coordinates of C are:</u>
<u>Now the diagonals:</u>
- AC = √(a-0)² + (b-0)² = √a²+b²
- BD =√(0-a)² + (b -0)² = √a² + b²
Since AC = BD, we can state they are congruent
An <em>imaginary number</em>. The defining property of an imaginary number is that has the number i attached to it, where i² = -1.
A few examples of imaginary numbers: 3i, i, -7i, (√3)i, (1/2)i
