You can focus on the two sub-triangles ABC and ACD
We know that they are both right triangles, because we're given that AC and BD are perpendicular.
The sides AB and AD are the hypothenuses of these triangles, so we know their length through the pythagorean theorem:
But since we're given , the expressions for AD and AB are actually the same expression. This proves that AD=AB, and thus that the triangle is isosceles.
It would be 5.5y because y equals 1.
Answer:
x- intercept = - 8, y- intercept = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x- intercept let y = 0 and solve for x
- 3x + 4(0) = 24
- 3x = 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = - 8 ← x- intercept
To find the y- intercept let x = 0 and solve for y
- 3(0) + 4y = 24
4y = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = 6 ← y- intercept
Answer:
The slope of the table is or
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
we have the following ordered pairs
(2,6),(0,1),(-2,-4) and (-4,-9)
take two points
(2,6) and (-4,-9)
substitute in the formula
simplify
These are the steps, with their explanations and conclusions:
1) Draw two triangles: ΔRSP and ΔQSP.
2) Since PS is perpendicular to the segment RQ, ∠ RSP and ∠ QSP are equal to 90° (congruent).
3) Since S is the midpoint of the segment RQ, the two segments RS and SQ are congruent.
4) The segment SP is common to both ΔRSP and Δ QSP.
5) You have shown that the two triangles have two pair of equal sides and their angles included also equal, which is the postulate SAS: triangles are congruent if any pair of corresponding sides and their included angles are equal in both triangles.
Then, now you conclude that, since the two triangles are congruent, every pair of corresponding sides are congruent, and so the segments RP and PQ are congruent, which means that the distance from P to R is the same distance from P to Q, i.e. P is equidistant from points R and Q
