A triangle, ABC, has coordinates A (-2, 0), B (-2, 5) and C (-4, 0). What is the length of the shortest side?

Answer: 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation: When you graph the points given, it gives you this shape in the image below.  The hypotenuse (longest side of triangle) is found by doing the following:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs (the other sides of the triangle) and c is the hypotenuse.

5^2 + 2^2 = 29.

√ 29 ≈ 5.38, and that is the length of the hypotenuse.

The shortest side is the bottom side, which is 2 units.  Therefore, that is your answer.

Let me know if this is right! :)

Question 6

Given:

QR = RS

QR = x + 6

RS = 4x

To find:

Length of line segment QS

Steps:

We know QR = RS, so substituting we get,

x + 6 = 4x

     6 = 4x - x

     6 = 3x

  6/3 = x

     2 = x

      x = 2

Now,

QS = QR + RS

QS = x + 6 + 4x

QS = 2 + 6 + 4(2)

QS = 2 + 6 + 8

QS = 8 + 8

QS = 16 units

Therefore, the length of QS is 16 units

Question 7

Given:

QR = RS

QR = 2x - 2

RS = 2x

To find:

Length of line segment QS

Steps:

We know that QR = RS, so substituting the values we get,

          QR = RS

      3x - 2 = 2x

3x - 2 - 2x = 0

     3x - 2x = 2

               x =2

Now,

QS = QR + RS

QS = 3x - 2 + 2x

QS = 3(2) - 2 + 2(2)

QS = 6 - 2 + 2(2)

QS = 6 - 2 + 4

QS = 4 + 4

QS = 8 units

Therefore, the length of QS is 8 units

Happy to help :)

Please I really need help (50 points)
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

PROOF FOR THE "PROVE" SECTION:

As linear pairs, angle 2 and 3 are supplementary to each other. Angle 1 is equal to angle 2, as they are both same-side interior angles. Therefore, angle 1 and angle 3 are also supplementary.

Filling in the missing blanks:

S1. Angle 1, Angle 2, Angle 3

S2. Angle 1 and Angle 2

R3. Congruent (___)

R5. supplementary angles

S7. Angle 1 = Angle 2, so Angle 1 can be substitued in for Angle 2 in any equation, and Angle 2 can be substitued for Angle 1 in any equation as well (they can replace each other, like x=y & y=x or a=b & b=a)

Hope this helped! Have a great day (pls mark brainliest)!!
