Question

the distance between the point P(1, 0) and Q(4, k) is 5. The value of K is​

Answer 1

Answer:

k = ±4

Step-by-step explanation:

These points will form a triangle on the cartesian plane.

Base = 4 - 1 = 3

Perpendicular = k

Hypotenuse = 5 ( given )

P^2 = H^2 - B^2

k^2 = 5^2 - 3^2

k^2 = 25 - 9

k^2 = 16

k = √16

k = 4 or k = - 4
