Algebra.Com's Answer #339531 by oberobic(2304)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The line GH from (-3,2) to (3,-2) can be depicted as the hypotenuse of a triangle. \n" ); document.write( "The other corner of the triangle is at (-3,-2). \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "a = vertical from (-3,-2) to (-3,2). It has length 4. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "b = horizontal from (-3,-2) to (3,-2). It has length 6. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 4^2 + 6^2 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 16 + 36 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 54 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "c = sqrt(54) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "sqrt(54) = sqrt(9*6) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "sqrt(9*6) = 3*sqrt(6) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "c is approximately = 7.3485 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Done. \n" ); document.write( " |
