Answer:

(10,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

coordinates are (x,y)

x is horizontal(left and right), y is vertical (up and down)

going down 6 means subtracting 6 from the second number

lets reverse that to go up and add 6 back

4+6=10

so the original point was (10,10)

If you move DOWN, then that means you are moving in the "y" direction (up and down).

Thus, you are moving the unit "4" not "10". Since you are moving down, you must add to know where your starting position is. You add "4" and "6" together to make "10".

Answer:

You start at (10,10)

Find the length of the missing side. the triangle not drawn to scale. (Image attached)

3241004551 [841]

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle shown in the image attached is a right triangle.

Therefore, to calculate the missing lenght of the triangle you can apply the Pythagorean Theorem, which is shown below:

$a^2=b^2+c^2$

Where a is the hypotenuse and b and c are the legs.

The problem gives you the value of the hypotenuse and the value of one leg. Therefore, you must solve for the other leg from $a^2=b^2+c^2$ , as following:

$17^2=15^2+c^2\\c=\sqrt{17^2-15^2}\\c=8$
