If point a is (0,n) and b is (k,0) and point o is (0,0) what is the length of a and b
And the length of de
Do not solve just wants letters
Hard to say.
Are a and b points or distances?
Where the heck are d and e?
Usually, points are labeled with capital letters, and line segments with small letters, or by the two endpoints, as AB or DE.
a,b,o are points in the triangle
Then it wants to know an distance and d Is the midpoint of ab and e is the midpoint of Bo so if who take the two midpoints and connect them it' wants to know the distance of them
Since DE is parallel to OA, and DB = 1/2 AB and EB = 1/2 OB, DE = 1/2 OA
thanks
To find the length of a line segment, we can use the distance formula, which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. The formula is:
distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
For point A, which is (0, n), and point O, which is (0, 0), the length of segment AO is found by substituting the x and y coordinates into the formula. The x1 and y1 values will be 0 because point O is our reference point, and the x2 and y2 values will be 0 and n, respectively, because they are the coordinates of point A. So the length of segment AO is:
length of AO = sqrt((0 - 0)^2 + (n - 0)^2)
For point B, which is (k, 0), and point O, the length of segment BO is found by substituting the x and y coordinates into the distance formula. The x1 and y1 values will be 0 because point O is our reference point, and the x2 and y2 values will be k and 0, respectively, because they are the coordinates of point B. So the length of segment BO is:
length of BO = sqrt((k - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2)
Similarly, if you have a line segment DE, you can find its length by using the distance formula in the same way.
Remember, the key to finding the length of line segments using the distance formula is to identify the x and y coordinates of the two endpoints of the segment and then substitute them into the formula.
