The length of segment HJ if H lies at (-1,7) and J lies at (8,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the length of segment HJ if H lies at (-1,7) and J lies at (8,-5), we will use the formula for calculating the distance between two points as shown;

D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

From the coordinates x₁ = -1, y₁ = 7, x₂ = 8, y₂ = -5

HJ = √(8-(-1))²+(-5-7)²

HJ = √(8+1)²+(-12)²

HJ = √81+144

HJ = √225

HJ = 15

Hence the length of segment HJ is 15 units

step-by-step explanation:

in which figure is point g a centroid

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
