Since we have two possible pieces of information and 2 items to solve for, we know this is a system of equations.
Our first piece of information is that our shorter leg (s) is 2 feet shorter than our longer leg (l). This can be written as s=l-2.
Our second piece of information is that using the Pythagorean theorem that our shorter leg squared plus our longer leg squared is equal to our hypotenuse squared. This can be represented by s^2+l^2=10^2. Now we can solve.
We have already isolated for s in our first equation, so we can substitute l-2 in.
(l-2)^2+l^2=10^2
l-2+l=10
2l-2=10
2l=12
l=6
Now we can substitute in for s in our simpler equation
s=6-2
s=4
We now know that using our knowledge of systems of equations, the side lengths of this right angle triangle are 6 and 4.
Answer:
63
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Distance to the xy-plane = |z|
Distance to the yz-plane = |x|
Distance to the xz-plane = |y|
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance from P(x,y,z) to the xy-plane is by definition the magnitude of the vector that goes from the perpendicular projection of P over the xy-plane to the point P, which is exactly the magnitude of the vector (0,0,z) = |z| the absolute value of z
Similarly, the distance from P to the yz-plane is |x| and the distance from P to the xz-plane is |y|
Distance to the xy-plane = |z|
Distance to the yz-plane = |x|
Distance to the xz-plane = |y|
