Answer:
3:4 and 15:20
Step-by-step explanation:
30: 40 divided by 10 = 3:4
30:40 divided by 2 = 15:20
Answer:
14.9 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If the road was created, the 3 different roads would form a right triangle where the new road would be the hypotenuse and the other 2 roads would be the legs.
We can use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse, or the new road:
a² + b² = c²
14² + 5² = c²
221 = c²
14.9 = c
= 14.9 miles
Using the slope intercept formula, we can see that the slope of line p is 3/5.Since line j is perpendicular to line p it must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal(-5/3).Using the formula we can find the answer.j:y-1=-5/3(x-5)
Doing some math we get:5x+3y=28
