Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Substitute the coordinates of the points.

A(4,\ 0),\ B(2,\ 1),\ C(-1,\ -5)\\\\AB=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(1-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+1^2}=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt5\\\\AC=\sqrt{(-1-4)^2+(-5-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-5)^2}=\sqrt{25+25}=\sqrt{50}\\\\BC=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-5-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-6)^2}=\sqrt{9+36}=\sqrt{45}

If a ≤ b < c are the sides of the right triangle, then

a² + b² = c²

\sqrt5

used (\sqrt{a})^2=a for a ≥ 0.

AB^2+BC^2=AC^2 therefore ΔABC is a right triangle.

Sum of the ages of a father and the son is 40 years. If father's age is 3 times that of his son, then father's age is ________ *
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of ages= 40

Let the sons age be x

Fathers age = 3 times x or ,3x

So 3x+x=40

4x= 40

x= 40/4

= 10

Therefore the fathers age = 3x

= 3*10

= 30
