hint: |dw:1455304363995:dw| both triangles ABC and ABD are isosceles triangles. Now I ask what is the x-coordinate of the point P
ok
3 0r 4?
hint: we have isosceles triangles, if the point P is the midpoint of the segment AB please keep in mind that point P is the orthogonal projection of both points C and D
idk what mm im not crazy good at math can u explain
let's consider this isosceles triangle: |dw:1455304839899:dw| P is the midpoint of the segment AB, so we can write: AP=PB
ok
i gtg soon i also have ti finish this test like 15 minetes
now, sarting from the coordinates of the points A and B, of the diagram you provided, we can write the x-coordinate of point P, like below: \[\Large {x_P} = \frac{{{x_A} + {x_B}}}{2} = \frac{{ - 2 + 4}}{2} = ...?\]
oops..starting*
?
what is \(-2+4=...?\)
2 or 6
we have this: \(-2+4=4-2=...?\)
what is \(4-2=...?\)
2
ok! And what is \(2/2=...?\)
idk
we have \(2/2=1\) since \(2 \times 1=2\), am I right?
yes
ok! So, the x-coordinate of point P is: \[\Large {x_P} = \frac{{{x_A} + {x_B}}}{2} = \frac{{ - 2 + 4}}{2} = 1\]
yes
now, the x.coordinate of the third point has to be \(1\), since point P is the orthogonal projection of the requested third point. So, what are the right options?
