The diagram shows a triangle with its 3 vertices A(7, 0), B(0, p) and C(4, 9). Given that DC is parallel to the x axis and DC = CB = 6 units, find the value of p,

Step 1
We know that DC is parallel to the x-axis, which means that the y-coordinate of D is the same as the y-coordinate of C. Since C has a y-coordinate of 9, D also has a y-coordinate of 9. Show more…
