Exercise #1:
Point H = (–2, 2)
Point J = (–2, –3)
Point K = (3, –3)
It would be very helpful if you could take a pencil and a piece
of paper, and sketch a graph with these points on it. Then
you'd immediately see what's going on.
Notice that points H and J have the same x-coordinate, but
different y-coordinates, so they're on the same vertical line.
</span><span>Notice that points J and K have different x-coordinates but
the same y-coordinate, so they're on the same horizontal line.
Notice that point-J is on both the horizontal line and the vertical
line, so the lines meet there, and they're perpendicular.
Point-J is one corner of the square.
H is another corner of the square. It's 5 units above J.
K is another corner of the square. It's 5 units to the right of J.
The fourth corner is (2, 3) ... 5 to the right of H,
and 5 above K.

Exercise #2:
</span><span>Point H = (6, 2)
Point J = (–2, –4)
Point K = (-2, y) .

</span><span>Notice that points J and K have the same x-coordinate, but
different y-coordinates, so they're on the same vertical line.
We need K to connect to point-H in such a way that it's on
the same horizontal line as H. Then the vertical and horizontal
lines that meet at K will be perpendicular, and we'll have the
right angle that we need there to make the right triangle.
So K and H need to have the same y-coordinate.
H is the point (6, 2). So K has to be up at (2, 2) .

This exercise is exactly the same as #1, except that it's a
rectangle instead of a square. It's still make of horizontal
and vertical lines, and that's all we need to know in order
to solve it.</span><span>

Point-H is one corner of the rectangle.
J is another corner of the rectangle. It's 3 units below H.
K is another corner of the square. It's 4 units to the right of H.
The fourth corner is (2, -1) ... 4 to the right of J,
and 3 below K.

The answer is 7.0 in. because half of 49 is 7 and 7 time 7 is 49.
Answer:
13 feet long
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation forms a right triangle, where the ladder is the hypotenuse, the distance away from the building is the short leg, and the height to the side of the building is the long leg.
Use the pythagorean theorem, and solve for c, the hypotenuse:
a² + b² = c²
5² + 12² = c²
25 + 144 = c²
169 = c²
13 = c
So, the ladder is 13 feet long
I think c would be the correct answer
It’s kind of hard to read which number the ends are on. Can you take a better picture?
