Assuming that CB is tangent, this is just a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 20 and a side of 12 so by the Pythagorean Theorem:
20^2=12^2+x^2
400=144+x^2
x^2=400-144
x^2=256
x=16
Answer:
see below for drawings and description
Step-by-step explanation:
For geometry problems involving translation, rotation, and reflection—transformations that change location, but not size ("rigid" transformations)—it might be helpful for you to trace the image onto tracing paper or clear plastic so that you can manipulate it in the desired way. Eventually, you'll be able to do this mentally, without the aid of a physical object to play with.
For the images attached here, I copied the triangle onto a piece of clear plastic so I could move it to the desired positions. The result was photographed for your pleasure.
__
a. Translation means the image is moved without changing its orientation or dimensions. You are asked to copy the triangle so that the upper left vertex is moved to what is now point E. See the first attachment.
__
b. Reflection means the points are copied to the same distance on the other side of the point or line of reflection. Just as an object held to a mirror has its reflection also at the mirror, any points on the line of reflection do not move. Reflection flips the image over. See the second attachment.
__
c. Rotation about point D means point D stays where it is. The angle of rotation is the same as the angle at D, so the line DE gets rotated until it aligns with the line DF. The rest of the triangle maintains its shape. See the third attachment.
Here's our equation.

We want to find out when it returns to ground level (h = 0)
To find this out, we can plug in 0 and solve for t.


So the ball will return to the ground at the positive value of

seconds.
What about the vertex? Simple! Since all parabolas are symmetrical, we can just take the average between our two answers from above to find t at the vertex and then plug it in to find h!

Answer:
(-6,8) is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2x + 3y = 12
2. 2x +3 * 8 = 12
3. 2x + 24 = 12
4. 2x = -12
5. x = -6
So, our final answer is (-6,8)
