Any ideas?
29^1/2 for the first one?
So we calculate the length of each side and see which one is the greatest... that's what you did I guess ?
Yeah was that right....
Remember to use distance formula: Distance between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is \(\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\)
I'm hella confused now. Ugh
Now, if you calculated each side... you can answer what type of triangle is ABC... If every side is equal ... it is equilateral If only two sides are equal ...it is isosceles And if no side is equal... it's scalene
Okay then let me start from beginning....
First let us calculate side AB... We have A = (1,7) and B = (-2, 2) Now, to calculate length of side AB, we calculate distance between points A and B...
This much is fine?
Hold on lemme go get calc.
Take your time
okay so do you add? subtract?
Naah.. to calculate the distance between two points we use the distance formula... now I will show how you use it to find AB... then you try to find out AC and BC... okay?
Yeesssir/mam not trying to be disrespectful but i cant tell. :)
It's fine :) Just call me Vishu .. no sir required :)
OKay thanks Vishu
Okay so we have here... A = (1,7) and B = (-2, 2) Now recall what I told you about distance formula... distance between \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) = \(\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\) So, if I want to find out distance between (1, 7) and (-2, 2) then: \(x_1 = 1\) \(y_1 = 7\) \(x_2 = -2\) \(y_2 = 2\) Any doubt till this step?
so substitue?
Now... I will just plug in the values in the formula... So, \(\text{AB} = \sqrt{(-2 - 1)^2 + (2 - 7)^2}\) \(\implies \text{AB} = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (- 5)^2}\)
Now we just simplify this more.. \(\implies \text{AB} = \sqrt{9 + 25}\) \(\implies \text{AB} = \sqrt{34}\)
So this is how we will be finding the sides of the triangle... any doubt?
No but dont understand how that is going to help me fill in blanks?
See... first we will find out the length of each side of the triangle.. once we know the sides... we can easily say which one is the longest side... This will be the first answer. Also, if you know all the sides you can tell whether it is an equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle or a scalene triangle.. That will be the answer to second blank. For third and fourth part, we will have to calculate AD, BD and CD... then again, once we know all the sides, we can tell what type of triangle ABD will be and what will be the length of side AD.
okay, how do we go about this?
Now that's the interesting part :) Now, using how I calculated side AB, try to find out AC...
If you have any doubt at any step.. feel free to ask.. and if you get the length of side AC.. do let me know and we will move forward
You deleted the formuka, What was it again?
Here it is: Distance between points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) = \(\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\)
Correct me if im wrong but is it squareroot 34?
Wonderful!!!
Perfectly correct :D
Yay.
Now can you calculate BC ?
Yesss give me a minute
Sure take your time :)
Squarerooot 36?
Great job!!
Now so we have the sides to be AB = AC = sqrt(34) and BC = sqrt(36)
So which side is the longest side?
BC?
Great going :D
Perfect!!
Now, recall what I told you about type of triangles... 1. If all sides equal => equilateral triangle 2. If only two sides equal => isosceles triangle 3. If all sides are different => scalene triangle So what type of triangle is ABC?
thats not an answer option.. :(
and scalene.
Naah naah... First thing first.. What is the square root of 36? (The answer is one of the option)
ohh okay its 6 hahaaa.
:) Good
Is it a scalene?
No... See you calculated the sides... two had the length sqrt (34) and one had length 6 units... So, how many sides have equal length?
oh only 2! so isosceles?
Exactly!! Very nice
Now, shall we move on? Now, for the last two parts... we have a different triangle so a different set of sides... So, can you calculate AD?
Remember that point A is the same as before i.e. (1,7) and D is (1,2)
okay give me a minute.
Sure!
25?
square root of it ;)
Very good... so we found out AD = sqrt(25) ... what about BD and CD? Can you calculate them..?
c and what?
First length of BD... B is (-2, 2) and D is (1,2)
9
Don't forget the square root :)
Yes too much trouble to type that out hahaa.
So, length of BD = sqrt(9) What about CD... ? C = (4,2) and D= (1,2)
Thats 9 aswell.
Very nice!!
So how many sides are equal in this triangle.. ?
2
Very nice!! So what type of triangle is this?
isosceles?
Very very good :)
So,...what is the length of AD ?
and the last one is 5 am i correct?
Exactly!!!
So.. here you go :) You solved the whole problem by yourself :)
No actually i had help thank you so much nobody can ever get through to me. i will be messaging you if i need help again is that okay?
That's fine :)
