- Complete an analytic proof of the following theorem: In a triangle that has sides of lengths a,b, and c, if c2=a2+b2, then the triangle is a right triangle.arrow_forwardNote: Exercises preceded by an asterisk are of a more challenging nature. In the figure, which of the points E,F,G,H, and K belong to the locus of points in the plane that are at distance r from line l?arrow_forwardWhich formula would you use to establish each of the following claims? a The coordinates of X are d,c. b mVT-=0 c VT-RS- d The length of RV- is 2d2+c2 Trapezoid RSTV; X is the midpoint of RV-.arrow_forward
- Note: Exercises preceded by an asterisk are of a more challenging nature. In the figure, which of the points A,B,C,D, and E belong to the locus of points in the plane that are at distance r from point P?arrow_forwardThe center of a circle of radius 2 inches is at a distance of 10 inches from the center of a circle of radius length 3 inches. To the nearest tenth of an inch, what is the approximate length of a common internal tangent? Use the hint provided in Exercise 38. HINT: use similar triangles to find OD and DP. Then apply the Pythagorean Theorem twice.arrow_forwardFor compactness, the drop-down wheels of a stretcher or gurney are folded under it as shown. In order for the boards upper surface to be parallel to the ground when the wheels are dropped, what relationship must exist between AB and CD?arrow_forward
- A rectangular solid has length L=12.6 mm, width W=23.8 mm, and height H=32.5 mm. Find the length of a diagonal AB from the upper left rear vertex to the lower right front vertex. Round the answer to 1 decimal place.arrow_forwardIn these exercises we find the area of plane figures. Plot the points P(5,1),Q(0,6) and R(5,1) on a coordinate plane. Where must the point S be located so that the quadrilateral PQRS is a square? Find the area of this square.arrow_forward
