In this problem, we are working with dilation and similar triangles.
00:07
First, we want to find the coordinates of k.
00:10
We know that the ratio of oh to ok is 1 to 3.
00:21
So the coordinates of oh are 0, 0, 3, and we can take each of those coordinates and multiply times 3, and we get the coordinates of k or 0 ,0, 3.
00:47
Next we want to find all of the measures of the sides for triangle ohj.
01:23
Site oh is vertical, and we can see there that the length is 3.
01:37
Oj is horizontal and the length is 4.
01:48
Since oh and oj are perpendicular, h -o -j is a right angle, and hoj is a right triangle.
02:01
So we can use the pythagorean theorem, the 3 squared plus 4 squared, and we're going to call hjx, so that equals x squared...
