Isaac’s dad built a shelf for his video games that is 42 inches wide. Each video game is 6/8 inches wide. How many video games can Isaac fit on the shelf ?

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough

answer: the answer to this problem is yes because 4n + 4 does equal 2m - 6

step-by-step explanation: first you have to calculate 2m - 6 second you have to calculate 4n + 4 finally you have to get your answer
