Ke shawn is placing a right triangle in the coordinate plane. he knows that the longer leg is twice the length of the shorter leg. he places the longer leg on the x-axis.

what coordinates should he assign to the third vertex of the triangle?

(2a, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of the short side times 2 would equal the long side. We know this because the question says: "the longer leg is twice the length of the shorter leg". And the length of the short side is "a". so 2 times the length of the shorter leg, "a", equals the longer side: 2 • a = longer side or 2a. Since the side is on the x-axis, 2a is the first coordnate. Then, the side is exactly on the x-axis so the y-coordnate is 0. (2a, 0)

Don't believe me? here I did the test:

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
