Firstly, we will select three corner points
A=(2,3)
B=(6,8)
C=(7,4)
we are given
the transformation with the rule (x, y)→(x, −y)
y--->-y
so, it is reflected about x-axis
so, we will multiply y-value by -1
we get new points as
A=(2,-3)
B=(6,-8)
C=(7,-4)
now, we can locate these points and draw graph
we get
This is a question that can be solved with Pythagorean Theorem since it is a right triangle. The longest side, 29, is the hypotenuse and the sides 21 and x are the legs. So, the Pythagorean Theorem states,
Where,
c is the Hypotenuse, a and b are the legs. Putting the respective values gives us,
So, 20 is the side length of x.
ANSWER: 20
