Find the orthocenter for the triangle described by each set of vertices.

Mathematics

givi [52]3 years ago

Answer:

The orthocentre of the given vertices ( 2 , -3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i)</em></u>:-

The orthocentre is the intersecting point for all the altitudes of the triangle.

The point where the altitudes of a triangle meet is known as the orthocentre.

Given Points are K (3.-3), L (2,1), M (4,-3)

<em>The Altitudes are perpendicular line from one side of the triangle to the opposite vertex</em>

<em>The altitudes are  MN , KO , LP</em>

<u><em>step(ii):-</em></u>

<em>  </em>  Slope of the line  

                          KL = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  } = \frac{1-(-3)}{2-3} = -4

The slope of MN =

The perpendicular slope of KL

                           = \frac{-1}{m} = \frac{-1}{-4} = \frac{1}{4}

The equation of the altitude

                                 y - y_{1} = m( x-x_{1} )

                                y - (-3) = \frac{1}{4} ( x-4 )

                               4y +12 = x -4

                                x - 4 y -16 = 0 ...(i)

Step(iii):-

 Slope of the line  

                          LM = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  } = \frac{-3-1}{4-2} = -2

The slope of KO =

The perpendicular slope of LM

                           = \frac{-1}{m} = \frac{-1}{-2} = \frac{1}{2}

The equation of the altitude

                                 y - y_{1} = m( x-x_{1} )

The equation of the line passing through the point K ( 3,-3) and slope

m = 1/2

                                y - (-3) = \frac{1}{2} ( x-3 )

                                2y +6 = x -3

                             x - 2y -9 =0 ....(ii)    

Solving equation (i) and (ii) , we get

  subtracting equation (i) and (ii) , we get

                   x - 4y -16 -( x-2y-9) =0

                       - 2y -7 =0

                      -2y = 7

                        y = - 3.5

Substitute y = -3.5 in equation x -4y-16=0

               x - 4( -3.5) - 16 =0

               x +14-16 =0

                x -2 =0

                  x = 2

The orthocentre of the given vertices ( 2 , -3.5)

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

<h2>y=0.35m+50</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

the daily fee= $50

cost per mile driven =$0.35

Let m = the number of miles

let y be the total cost

Step two

Required

the expression for the total cost is

An algebraic expression that shows the amount he will pay for the van. is

seropon [69]

Answer:

0.987750947  miles

Step-by-step explanation:

first you find how many inches are in a mile and there are 63360 inches in a mile

2nd  you minus 63360 - 776.1 = 62583.9 then you get 62583.9 and put it in  miles and your answer is 0.987750947  miles
