an isosceles triangle is such that AC=BC and has vertices A=(3,4), B=(7,4) and C=(5,8) a) Calculate the length of AC B) the line of symmetry of the triangle meets the line AB at M what are the coordinates of M​

Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A( 3 , 4)  &   C(5 , 8)

Distance = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]AC = \sqrt{(5-3)^{2}+(8-4)^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(4)^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{4+16}\\\\=\sqrt{20}\\\\= 4.47 units[/tex]

M is the midpoint of AB

A(3,4)  &B(7,4)

[tex]M(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})\\\\M(\frac{3+7}{2},\frac{4+4}{2})\\\\M(\frac{10}{2},\frac{8}{2})[/tex]

M(5,4)
