C(a,b), because the x-coordinate( first coordinate) is a (seeing as it is situated directly above point B, which also has an x-coordinate of a) and the y-coordinate ( second coordinate) is b (seeing as it is situated on the same horizontal level as point D, which also has a y-coordinate of b)
the length of AC can be calculated with the theorem of Pythagoras:
length AB = a - 0 = a
length BC = b - 0 = b
seeing as the length of AC is the longest, it can be calculated by the following formula:
It is called "Pythagoras' Theorem" and can be written in one short equation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (^ means to the power of by the way)
in this case, A and B are lengths AB and BC, so lenght AC can be calculated as the following:
a^2 + b^2 = (length AC)^2
length AC = √(a^2 + b^2)
Extra information: Seeing as the shape of the drawn lines is a rectangle, lines AC and BD have to be the same length, so BD is also √(a^2 + b^2). But that is also stated in the assignment!
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
X(5x-2) thats how you factor
Let:
x = first consecutive integer (or first side of △)
x + 1 = second consecutive integer (or second side of △)
x + 2 = third consecutive integer (or third side of △)
The formula for a perimeter of △ is simply the addition of three sides (or length). Since the given perimeter is 114 cm,
x + x+1 + x+2 = 114
3x + 3 = 114
3x = 114 - 3
3x = 111
x = 111 /3 = 37 cm
The three sides are 37 cm, 38 cm, and 39 cm.
