Question

Which type of triangle is RST?

a. equilateral
b. isosceles
c. scalene
d. right
9. Write an equation of the line that contains the median of traingle RST from S to RT .

a. x + 2 y = -10
b. x + 2 y = 6
c. x + 2 y = 8
d. x + 2 y = 10
10. Write the equation of the line that contains the altitude of triangle RST from T to RS .

a. 2x - 3y = -13
b. 3 x -2 y = -2
c. 2 x + 3 y = 29
d. 3 x + 2 y = 26

Answer 1

determine the length of sides by pythagoras formula.
I think its isoceles as two of its sides are same.

Answer 2

I order to do 9,you have to first determine the midpoint.Find midpoint and tell me the answer.

Answer 3

@mhumzatariq its -2,4

Answer 4

You need to determine the midpoint of RT.

Answer 5

Oh
Well in that case its 2,4

Answer 6

yes.can you determine the gradient of line containing midpoint of R and T, and S?

Answer 7

What I dont follow?

Answer 8

In order to find the median we need its slope,right?

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Do you know how to determine it?

Answer 11

I got 1.5

Answer 12

Let the midpoint of R and T be M,
Is 1.5 the slope of line containing M and S?

Answer 13

I think its -1.5

Answer 14

No.

Answer 15

The slope of S and M is 2/3.

Answer 16

sorry.-2/3

Answer 17

Oh yeah because its the recipricol or something

Answer 18

yes.you got it!

Answer 19

As SM is perpendicular to RT,we need to take the negative recipocal.

Answer 20

As we need to determine the equation in form of y=mx+c and we have m,just put S into the equation to find c.tell me the answer.

Answer 21

So would it look like 7=(3/2)(-4+b)?

Answer 22

The equation anyway?

Answer 23

7=(-3/2)(-4+b)?

Answer 24

its 7=(-2/3)(-4)+c

Answer 25

Sorry I put it inversed

Answer 26

I got 2x+3y=13.
Are you sure the you have not flipped anything between question 9 and 10?

Answer 27

What was the answer for nine again?I missed it.

Answer 28

2x+3y=13

Answer 29

I think thats ten. Because the options for ten are:
a. 2x - 3y = -13
b. 3 x -2 y = -2
c. 2 x + 3 y = 29
d. 3 x + 2 y = 26

Answer 30

I think ten would be A

Answer 31

Because the options for number nine are:
a. x + 2 y = -10
b. x + 2 y = 6
c. x + 2 y = 8
d. x + 2 y = 10

Answer 32

ok.but I think you have flip the question the question of 9 as it fits in the options of ten.

Answer 33

So what would
'ten" be?

Answer 34

I think I have confused you.I am just saying that below is right:
9. Write an equation of the line that contains the median of traingle RST from S to RT .
a. 2x - 3y = -13
b. 3 x -2 y = -2
c. 2 x + 3 y = 29
d. 3 x + 2 y = 26
10. Write the equation of the line that contains the altitude of triangle RST from T to RS

a. x + 2 y = -10
b. x + 2 y = 6
c. x + 2 y = 8
d. x + 2 y = 10

Answer 35

In order to do 10,repeat the same procedure and you will surely arrive at answer.

Answer 36

Alright thanks for the help.
