Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between points B and C. A) 18 units B) 55 units C) 64 units D) 73 units
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that A, B, and C constitute the vertices of a right angle triangle, with the right angle at the vertex A.
If we count the number of squares separating B and A (one of the legs of the right angle triangle) we find 8 units.
If we count the number of squares separating C from A (the other leg of the right angle triangle), we get: 3 units.
Then, we apply the Pythagorean theorem to find that length of the triangle's hypotenuse which is the segment BC:

The missing figure is attached with the answer.
<h3>What is Area ?</h3>The space occupied by a two dimensional figure is called Area.
The figure given in the question can be divided into two figure
A rectangle of 8 * 13 inch
and a triangle of 8 * 6 inch
The area of a rectangle is given by
Length * Breadth
8 * 13
= 104 sq.inch
The area of the triangle is given by
(1/2) * base * height
= (1/2) * 8 * 6
= 24 sq.inch
Total area = 104+24 = 128 sq.in
Therefore Option C is the right answer.
