Math Problem Statement

Write the coordinates of H. Find the distance of the point G from the Y-axis. What will be the length of side HG? Find the length of diagonal FD and the value of x.

Solution

Let's go step by step and solve the questions based on the given image:

a. Write the coordinates of H.

Looking at the graph, we can count the position of point HH. It is located at:

  • X-coordinate: 3 (three units to the right of point PP)
  • Y-coordinate: 5 (five units up from point PP)

Thus, the coordinates of HH are: H(3,5)H(3, 5)

b. Find the distance of the point G from the Y-axis.

Point GG is at: G(6,4)G(6, 4) To find the distance from the YY-axis, we take the absolute value of the XX-coordinate of GG, which is 6. Therefore, the distance from the YY-axis is: Distance=6=6units\text{Distance} = |6| = 6 \, \text{units}

c. What will be the length of side HG?

The coordinates of HH are H(3,5)H(3, 5) and the coordinates of GG are G(6,4)G(6, 4). To find the distance between two points, we use the distance formula: d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} Substituting the coordinates of HH and GG: d=(63)2+(45)2=(3)2+(1)2=9+1=10d = \sqrt{(6 - 3)^2 + (4 - 5)^2} = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 1} = \sqrt{10} Thus, the length of side HGHG is: HG=10unitsHG = \sqrt{10} \, \text{units}

d. Find the length of diagonal FD and the value of x.

The coordinates of DD are D(2,1)D(2, 1) and the coordinates of FF are F(x,8)F(x, 8). To find the length of diagonal FDFD, we use the distance formula again: FD=(x2)2+(81)2=(x2)2+72=(x2)2+49FD = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (8 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + 49} This expression depends on the value of xx, so we need more information to calculate the exact value of FDFD.
