.. Which of the following are the coordinates of the vertices of the following square with sides of length a?

atroni [7]

Option A: $O(0,0), S(0,a), T(a,a), W(a,0)$

Option D: $O(0,0), S(a,0), T(a,a), W(0,a)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A: $O(0,0), S(0,a), T(a,a), W(a,0)$

To find the sides of a square, let us use the distance formula,

$d=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}$

Now, we shall find the length of the square,

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Length } O S=\sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+(a-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a} \\{\text { Length } S T=\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+(a-a)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a} \\{\text { Length } T W=\sqrt{(a-a)^{2}+(0-a)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a} \\{\text { Length } O W=\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a}\end{array}$

Thus, the square with vertices $O(0,0), S(0,a), T(a,a), W(a,0)$ has sides of length a.

Option B: $O(0,0), S(0,a), T(2a,2a), W(a,0)$

Now, we shall find the length of the square,

$\begin{aligned}&\text { Length } O S=\sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+(a-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\\&\text {Length } S T=\sqrt{(2 a-0)^{2}+(2 a-a)^{2}}=\sqrt{5 a^{2}}=a \sqrt{5}\\&\text {Length } T W=\sqrt{(a-2 a)^{2}+(0-2 a)^{2}}=\sqrt{2 a^{2}}=a \sqrt{2}\\&\text {Length } O W=\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\end{aligned}$

This is not a square because the lengths are not equal.

Option C: $O(0,0), S(0,2a), T(2a,2a), W(2a,0)$

Now, we shall find the length of the square,

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Length OS }=\sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+(2 a-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{4 a^{2}}=2 a} \\{\text { Length } S T=\sqrt{(2 a-0)^{2}+(2 a-2 a)^{2}}=\sqrt{4 a^{2}}=2 a} \\{\text { Length } T W=\sqrt{(2 a-2 a)^{2}+(0-2 a)^{2}}=\sqrt{4 a^{2}}=2 a} \\{\text { Length } O W=\sqrt{(2 a-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{4 a^{2}}=2 a}\end{array}$

Thus, the square with vertices $O(0,0), S(0,2a), T(2a,2a), W(2a,0)$ has sides of length 2a.

Option D: $O(0,0), S(a,0), T(a,a), W(0,a)$

Now, we shall find the length of the square,

$\begin{aligned}&\text { Length OS }=\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\\&\text { Length } S T=\sqrt{(a-a)^{2}+(a-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\\&\text { Length } T W=\sqrt{(0-a)^{2}+(a-a)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\\&\text { Length } O W=\sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+(a-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a\end{aligned}$

Thus, the square with vertices $O(0,0), S(a,0), T(a,a), W(0,a)$ has sides of length a.

Thus, the correct answers are option a and option d.

aniked [119]

Answer:

$(b^4)^2 = b^{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(b^4)^2$

Required

Simplify

In indices, we have:

$(a^m)^n = a^{m*n$

So:

$(b^4)^2 = b^{4*2}$

$(b^4)^2 = b^{8}$
