Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

so, we know in our case

b(b+12) = 189 cm²

b² + 12b - 189 = 0

let's try to solve this by completing the square.

that means we try to find the expression

(b + k)² + c

that is equal to

b² + 12b - 189

(b + k)² + c = b² + 2kb + k² + c = b² + 12b - 189

so,

2k = 12

k = 6

and then

k² + c = -189

6² + c = -189

36 + c = -189

c = -225

(b + 6)² - 225 = 0

(b + 6)² = 225

b + 6 = 15

b = 9

so, the baseline b = 9 cm.

the height b+12 = 9+12 = 21 cm.

Points (3,1) and (1,4) lie on line k. What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to k?
denis-greek [22]
First we need to find the slope of line k.  Using the slope formula, we fill in accordingly: m= \frac{4-1}{1-3}.  The slope is -3/2.  The slope of a line that is perpendicular to line k will have the opposite sign (so, positive) and will be the reciprocal of the line k's slope (so, 2/3).  You could also say, more "mathematically legal", that the product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1, but it's easier to just say that they are opposite reciprocals.  The slope you're looking for is 2/3.  Choice 3 above.
