The distance between the points (x, 21) and (4, 7) is 10√2. Find the sum of all possible values of x.
The distance between the points (x, 21) and (4, 7) is 10√2. Find the sum of all possible values of x.
10√2 is a hypotenuse of a right triangle, the longer leg is 14. The short leg a = sqrt[(10√2)2 - 142] = 2
1/ x = 4 - a = 2
2/ x = 4 + a = 6
So, the sum of all possible values of x is 8
