Based on the above, the segments that are perpendicular to EF are LM and NP.

<h3>Why is the segment are LM and NP perpendicular  to EF ?</h3>

Note that when two lines are perpendicular, we can say that;

M1 * M2 = -1 As M1 and M2 are known to be the slopes of the lines.

Therefore, when the the slope of EF is said to be −5/2, then  one can say that the slope of  the segment that is said to be  perpendicular to EF will have to be equal to m1*m2=-1, m2=-1/m1, m2=-1/(-5/2) or m2=2/5.

Scenario one:

JK , if J is at (3, −2) and K is at (5, −7)

To find the slope JK, then

m=(y2-y1)/x2-x1)

m=(-7+2)/(5-3)

m=-5/2

-5/2 is not equal to 2/5

Therefore,  JK is not perpendicular to EF

Scenario 2

Find GH , when G is at (6, 7) and H is at (4, 12)

To find the slope GH

m=(y2-y1)/x2-x1)

m=(12-7)/(4-6)

m=5/-2

m=-5/2

Since -5/2 is not equal to 2/5 then GH is not perpendicular to EF

Scenario 3:

Find LM , If L is at (1, 9) and M is at (6, 11)

To find the slope LM, then

m=(y2-y1)/x2-x1)

m=(11-9)/(6-1)

m=2/5

Since 2/5 is equal to 2/5

Then LM is perpendicular to EF

Scenario 4:

Find NP , if N is at (−3, 4) and P is at (−8, 2)

To find the slope NP, then

m=(y2-y1)/x2-x1)

m=(2-4)/(-8+3)

m=-2/-5

m=2/5

Since 2/5 is equal to 2/5.

Therefore,  NP is perpendicular to EF

Based on the above calculations, the segments that are perpendicular to EF are LM and NP.

See correct format of question written below

The slope of EF is −5/2 .

Which segments are perpendicular to EF?

Select all the right answers please

1. JK , where J is at (3, −2) and K is at (5, −7)

2. GH , where G is at (6, 7) and H is at (4, 12)

3. LM , where L is at (1, 9) and M is at (6, 11)

4. NP , where N is at (−3, 4) and P is at (−8, 2)

Need help! Law of cosines...find b round to the nearest tenth please
dusya [7]
ANSWER

B = 27.8 \degree

EXPLANATION

The law of cosine is given by the formula:

{b}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {c}^{2} - 2bc \cos(B)

From the diagram,

a=17, b=8, c=16

We substitute the given values into the formula to obtain:

{8}^{2} = {17}^{2} + {16}^{2} - 2(17)(16)\cos(B)

64 = 289+ 256- 544\cos(B)


64 = 545- 544\cos(B)


64 - 545 = - 544\cos(B)

- 481 = - 544\cos(B)

\frac{ - 481}{ - 544} = \cos(B)

cos(B) = 0.88419

B = \cos ^{ - 1} (0.88419)

B = 27.8 \degree
