Answer:

7 and 34

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y be the 2 numbers with x > y

The 2 equations to solve are

x = 4y + 6 → (1)

x + y = 41 → (2)

Substitute x = 4y + 6 into (2)

4y + 6 + y = 41 , that is

5y + 6 = 41 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

5y = 35 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 7

Substitute y = 7 into (1)

x = 4(7) + 6 = 28 + 6 = 34

The 2 numbers are 7 and 34

ΔEFG is located at E (0, 0), F (−7, 4), and G (0, 8). Which statement correctly classifies ΔEFG?

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

ΔEFG is an isosceles triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

E (0, 0),

F (−7, 4),

G (0, 8)

ΔEFG

Solution:

Distance formula

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

Step 1: Finding the length of EF

By using distance formula,

$EF = \sqrt{(-7 - 0)^2 + (4-0)^2}$

$EF = \sqrt{(49) + (16)}$

$EF = \sqrt{(49) + (16)}\\EF = \sqrt{65}\\$

Step 2: Finding the length of FG

By using distance formula,

$FG = \sqrt{(0-(-7))^2+(8-4)^2}\\FG = \sqrt{(7)^2 +(4)^2}\\FG = \sqrt{49 +16}\\FG = \sqrt{65}$

Step 2: Finding the length of GE

$GE= \sqrt{(0-0)^2 + (0-8)^2}\\\\GE =\sqrt{(-8)^2}\\GE = \sqrt{64}\\GE = 8$

Thus we could see that the sides EF = FG

So it is a isosceles triangle.
