A general wishes to draw up his 7500 soldiers in the form of a square. After arranging, he found out that some of them are left
1 answer:
If you want to form a square of 7500 soldiers, the side of the square must be soliders.
But since you cannot have 0.6 solider, the general needs to find the closest perfect square to the number 7500 which is less than 7500.
That number is 7396 which when square rooted gives 86 soliders on the side.
Subtract 7396 from 7500 and get how many soliders were left out,
Hope this helps :)

ANSWER
EXPLANATION.
The orthocenter is the point of intersection of any two altitudes of the triangle.
First, you need to determine the slope of each side of the triangle.
△ABC has vertices A(2, 3), B(−4, −3), C(2, −3).
This line has undefined slope, which means it is a vertical line.
The slope of this line is zero, meaning the line is a horizontal line.
This implies that side BC and side AC of the given triangle are perpendicular and will intersect at C since they are the altitudes of triangle ABC.
Hence the orthocentre is
