Cara monitors a snail in her aquarium. She notes that this morning it crawled 1 inch up the glass. A few hours later it crawled another 2 inches up the glass. Later it crawled 4 inches down the glass. How far is the snail from where it started?

is there a picture

step-by-step explanation:

- (2, -7)

- lines r and s and lines t and u must be parallel

answer: (-8,4) are the coordinates of a

step-by-step explanation:

let the side of square abcd is x .

thus the area of square abcd is .

now, by the diagram area of triangle ead= 1/2 × ea × ad = 1/2 × ea × x

( because ad is the side of square)

and, according to the question,

the areas of square abcd and right ead are equal.

⇒

⇒ea=2x

thus, ea: ab=2: 1

therefore, point a divides line segment eb into the ratio 2: 1.

⇒ by sectional formula coordinates of a are,

=

=

=(-8, 4)

thus the coordinates of a are (-8,4)
