Lesson 23 godine by og Activity 3 Application
The town of Amory lies due north of Chester, and Bristol lies due east of
Chester. If you drive from Amory to Bristol by way of Chester, the distance is 17
miles, but if you take the back road
directly from
Amory to Bristol, you save 4
miles. You would like to know the distance from Bristol to Chester,
a. What is the unknown quantity? Call it.
b. Make a sketch and label it with distances,
c. Write an equation about the variable
d. Solve your equation.
e. How far is it from Bristol to Chester?

d

step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
