Iam an isosceles triangle. the midpoint of my non-congruent side is the point (7, −2). this side is a horizontal line with a length of 4 and my vertex opposite this side is at the point (7, −7). oh, i almost forgot to tell you. i am upside down. where am i? (find the coordinates of each base vertex.) 2 answers a small and large x-value

So, we can picture out the problem that this is an inverted triangle. So, the base of the triangle is along y = -2. All we have to find are the x coordinates. The main formula we will use here is the distance formula for computing distance between any 2 points.

d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

The solution is as follows:

D between (7,-2) and (7,-7).
d = √[(7 - 1)² + (-7 - -2)²] = 5 units
Let's solve the hypotenuse.
h = √(5² + (4/2)²) = √29
So, the distance of the hypotenuse is the distance between the top vertex (7,-7) and one bottom side vertex (x,-2) is √29.
√29 = √[(x - 7)² + (-2 - -7)²]
Solving for x,
x = 5
Since the base is 4 units in length, the other base vertex is at x = 5 - 4 = 1
Therefore, the vertex of the bases of the isosceles triangle are at (5,-2) and (1,-2).

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
