HELP PLZ Bruce's school is due west of his house and due south of his friend Avery's house. The
distance between the school and Avery's house is 6 miles and the straight-line distance
between Bruce's house and Avery's house is 7 miles. How far is Bruce's house from school? If
necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

3.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The three points form a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the distance from Bruce and Avery's house, and the first leg is the distance from Avery's house to the school. Using the Pythagorean Theorem's converse, sqrt(7^2-6^2), and rounding it to the nearest tenth, we get 3.6 miles.

answer: (-8,4) are the coordinates of a

step-by-step explanation:

let the side of square abcd is x .

thus the area of square abcd is .

now, by the diagram area of triangle ead= 1/2 × ea × ad = 1/2 × ea × x

( because ad is the side of square)

and, according to the question,

the areas of square abcd and right ead are equal.

⇒

⇒ea=2x

thus, ea: ab=2: 1

therefore, point a divides line segment eb into the ratio 2: 1.

⇒ by sectional formula coordinates of a are,

=

=

=(-8, 4)

thus the coordinates of a are (-8,4)
