Dominic wants to find the distance between his house on one side of the park and his school on the other side. He marks off a third point forming a right triangle, as shown in the diagram. The distances in the diagram are measured in yards. Use the Pythagorean Theorem OR the Distance Formula to find the distance from Dominic’s house to the school.

answer: 12

step-by-step explanation:

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.

wth is with the little mtn top and what are you talking about like fix your words and accually make sence with them and i like was in a completly different question like three times like it seems like your ilitteret
