Rule: Any positive number is always larger than any negative number.

For example, 10 is larger than -2. So we write 10 > -2.

The same goes for 8 & 1/4 vs -8 & 1/4. It doesn't matter if we involve fractions or decimals.

Visually, positive numbers are to the right of 0 on the number line. Negative numbers are to the left of 0.

Stuff on the right is larger than stuff on the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plot both those numbers on a number line, 8 ¼ will be on the right of the zero, and -8¼ will be on the left. The numbers on the right of zero are +ve and numbers on the left of zero are -ve. +ve numbers are always greater than -ve numbers, so 8¼ > -8¼!

The hypotenuse of a right triangle has endpoints A(4, 1) and B(–1, –2). On a coordinate plane, line A B has points (4, 1) and (n

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

$(-1,1),(4,-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The hypotenuse of a right triangle has endpoints A(4, 1) and B(–1, –2).

To find: coordinates of vertex of the right angle

Solution:

Let C be point $(x,y)$

Distance between points $(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)$ is given by $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$AC=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+(y-1)^2}\\BC=\sqrt{(x+1)^2+(y+2)^2}\\AB=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(1+2)^2}=\sqrt{25+9}=\sqrt{34}$

ΔABC is a right angled triangle, suing Pythagoras theorem (square of hypotenuse is equal to sum of squares of base and perpendicular)

$34=\left [ (x-4)^2+(y-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (x+1)^2+(y+2)^2 \right ]$

Put $(x,y)=(-1,1)$

$34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9\\34=34$

which is true. So, $(-1,1)$ can be a vertex

Put $(x,y)=(4,-2)$

$34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+25\\34=34$

which is true. So, $(4,-2)$ can be a vertex

Put $(x,y)=(1,1)$

$34=\left [ (1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+4+9\\34=22$

which is not true. So, $(1,1)$ cannot be a vertex

Put $(x,y)=(2,-2)$

$34=\left [ (2-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (2+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+9+9\\34=22$

which is not true. So, $(2,-2)$ cannot be a vertex

Put $(x,y)=(4,-1)$

$34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+25+1\\34=30$

which is not true. So, $(4,-1)$ cannot be a vertex

Put $(x,y)=(-1,4)$

$34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(4-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(4+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9+36\\34=70$

which is not true. So, $(-1,4)$ cannot be a vertex

So, possible points for the vertex are $(-1,1),(4,-2)$

What makes two angles exterior versus interior ?<br>

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Any angle that is on the inside of a shape is called an interior angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any angle that is on the outside of a shape is called an exterior angle. An exterior angle is made by extending one of the lines of the shape beyond the intersection point. ... Notice that the two angles make a straight line.
