The length of the measure of YZ is 80cm

<h3>Perpendicular lines</h3>

Perpendicular lines are lines that are at angle 90 degrees to each other. From the given diagram;

WX = 82cm

Required

Length. of YZ

Using the pythagoras theorem

YV = VZ = √41²-9²

YV = VZ = √1600

YV = VZ = 40

Since YZ = YV + VZ

YZ = 40cm + 40cm

YZ= 80cm

Hence the length of the measure of YZ is 80cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Miami rainfall: 1.61 +2.24 +2.99 +3.15 +5.35 + 9.68 = 25.02

Tampa rainfall: 2.24 +2.8 +3.03 + 2.05 + 2.09 + 6.69 = 18.9

25.02 - 18.9 = 6.12

Miami gets more rainfall by 6.12 more inches

Have a great day! :)

In ΔEFG , what is the approximate length of EF if the measure of angle G is 50° and FG is 10 cm?

swat32

Hey again, you can use trigonometric ratios for this one. You are trying to find the side length opposite of angle G, when you have the adjacent side length value known. You can use TOA, or tan((opposite/adjacent)) . Tan(50) = x/10

X= 11.92 cm

Find the slope of the line that is parallel and perpendicular <br><br> -7x-2y=4

Rus_ich [418]

$\bf -7x-2y=4\implies -2y=7x+4\implies y=\cfrac{7x+4}{-2}\implies y=\cfrac{7x}{-2}+\cfrac{4}{-2} \\\\\\ y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{7}{2}} x-2\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{7}{2}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{2}{7}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{\cfrac{2}{7}}}$

now, what's the slope of a line parallel to that one above? well, parallel lines have exactly the same slope.
