Step-by-step explanation:
A(−3, 0), B(0, 6), and C(4, 6)
using the midpoint formula: we can find all of their midpoint which is necessary to complete question 1 and 2
Mid AB=(-1.5, 3), Mid BC=(2, 6), Mid AC=(0.5,3)
Next, we have to find the slope of from the vertex and the midpoint of each side. We use the slope formula: .
You would get -6, 6/5, and 6/11.
Next you substitute in the coordinates for the equation of each for example: y=-6x, you switch in the set of cords AB which is (-1.5, 3). 3=-6(-1.5)+z and find that z=6, so the equation is y=-6x+6. As for the rest, repeat the same process until you find all 3 cords. You should get an answer of
For question 2,
The line has to be perpendicular bisector to the midpoint, signifying that it has to split 2 angles into congruent angles and a side into half. In order to do that we need to first find the opposite reciprocal of each side's slope. Which means we need to once again use the slope formula and get the opposite reciprocal by . For all the opposite reciprocal slopes you get will be incorporated into the final formulas. That gives us the slopes of -1/2, 0 and -7/6. Then do the same process of matching cords with these incomplete equations and you can find the final equations of
I hope that helped with your question!! :)
Also I'm an RSM student too and I didn't know how to do them before so I searched it up.
The length of the shorter leg is 14 inches.
We will set up two equations for this; first, for the perimeter. We will call the legs a and b:
a + b + 50 = 112
Subtract 50 from both sides:
a + b + 50 - 50 = 112 - 50
a + b = 62
We will isolate a, so we can use substitution. Subtract b from both sides:
a + b - b = 62 - b
a = 62 - b
Now we will set up our Pythagorean theorem equation:
a² + b² = 50²
a² + b² = 2500
We will substitute our value for a from the first equation into this one:
(62-b)² + b² = 2500
(62 - b)(62 - b) + b² = 2500
Multiplying the binomials, we have:
62*62 - b*62 - b*62 -b(-b) + b² = 2500
3844 - 62b - 62b + b² + b² = 2500
Combining like terms:
3844 - 124b + 2b² = 2500
To set it equal to 0 and solve, we subtract 2500 from both sides:
3844 - 124b + 2b² - 2500 = 2500 - 2500
1344 - 124b + 2b² = 0
In standard form, we have
2b² - 124b + 1344 = 0
Using the quadratic formula,
The shorter leg is 14 and the longer one is 48.
