The coordinates of the endpoints of AB
are A(
–
8,
–
8) and B(4,
–
2). Point C is on
AB
and divides it such that AC:BC is 5:1.
What are the coordinates of C?

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.

this may not be at all, but i use the same website you're using for school, and if i'm stuck doing one of these i try to look for it on the section.
