Given:

(-10, 2) & (-5, -1)

Add x values separately; add y values separately:

(-15, 1)

Divide x and y values by 2:

(-7.5, 0.5); midpont

What is the value of x?

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=8\sqrt2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}\\\\\text{Use the Pythagorean theorem:}\\\\leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2\\\\\text{We have}\ leg=8,\ leg=8,\ hypotenuse=x.\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\x^2=8^2+8^2\\\\x^2=2(8^2)\to x=\sqrt{2(8^2)}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\x=\sqrt2\cdot\sqrt{8^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{a^2}=a\\\\x=8\sqrt2$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\(look\ at\ the\ picture)\\\\\text{We have}\ a=8.\ \text{Therefore}\ a\sqrt2=8\sqrt2$

I can be wrong, but I think that the answer is: To find the values of p, q, r and s, you should start by finding all factor pairs of the leading coefficiant and constant term.

Which of the following best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Angles formed by the segment $\overline{XZ}$ in the triangles ΔWXZ, and ΔXYZ, are equal and the given corresponding sides are proportional.

The option that best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is; 16 over 12 equals 12 over 9

Reasons:

The proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is presented as follows;

Segment $\overline{XZ}$ is perpendicular to segment $\overline{WY}$

∠WZX and ∠XZY are right angles by definition of $\overline{XZ}$ perpendicular to $\overline{WY}$

∠WZX in ΔWXZ = ∠XZY in ΔXYZ = 90° (definition)

$\displaystyle \frac{WZ}{XZ} = \frac{16}{12} = \mathbf{ \frac{4}{3}}$

$\displaystyle \mathbf{ \frac{XZ}{ZY}} = \frac{12}{9} = \frac{4}{3}$

Therefore;

$\displaystyle \frac{16}{12} = \frac{12}{9}$ , which gives, $\displaystyle \mathbf{\frac{WZ}{XZ} }= \frac{XZ}{ZY}$

Given that two sides of ΔWXZ are proportional to two sides of ΔXYZ, and

that the included angles between the two sides, ∠WZX and ∠XZY are

congruent, the two triangles, ΔWXZ and ΔXYZ are similar by Side-Angle-

Side, SAS, similarity postulate.

The option that best completes the proof is therefore;

$\displaystyle \frac{16}{12} = \frac{12}{9}$ which is; 16 over 12 equals 12 over 9
