Question

I need help with this ASAP please

Answer 1

y= coordinate 4

right triangle formed by the x- axis, the radius (hypotenuse) of 5 and a vertical line drawn to the x- axis from the point ( 3, - )

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

3² + y² = 5²

9 + y² = 25 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

y² = 16 ( take square root of both sides )

y =

16

16

= 4

the y- coordinate of the point is 4 , that is (3, 4 )

Answer 2

y- coordinate = 4

Explanation:

consider a right triangle formed by the x- axis, the radius (hypotenuse) of 5 and a vertical line drawn to the x- axis from the point ( 3, - )

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

3² + y² = 5²

9 + y² = 25 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

y² = 16 ( take square root of both sides )

y =
`√(16)` = 4

the y- coordinate of the point is 4 , that is (3, 4 )
