The slope of the perpendicular line b is -1/7 if the slope of the perpendicular line a is 7.

According to the question,

Line 'a' is perpendicular to the line 'b'. If the slope of the line 'a' is 7.

The condition of slopes if two lines are perpendicular m₁ m₂ = -1

(7)(m₂) = -1

   m₂ = -1/7

Hence, the slope of the perpendicular line b is -1/7 if the slope of the perpendicular line a is 7.

In the figure, AB=12, BC=8, DE=6, PD=4, and A is the point of tangency. Find the radius of circle P.
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The radius of the circle P = 2√10 = 6.325

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ AB is a tangent to circle P at A

∴ (AB)² = BC × BE

∵ BC = 8 , AB = 12 , ED = 6

∵ BE = ED + DC + CB

∴ BE = 6 + CD + 8 = 14 + CD

∴ (12)² = 8 × (14 + DC) ⇒ (12)²/8 = 14 + CD ⇒ CD = (12)²/8 - 14

∴ CD = 4

Join PC and PE (radii)

In ΔBDC and ΔPDE ⇒ ∵ ∠PDC = Ф , ∴ ∠PDE = 180 - Ф

Use cos Rule:

∵ r² = (PD)² + (DC)² - 2(PD)(DC)cosФ

∴ r² = 16 + 16 - 32cosФ = 32 - 32cosФ ⇒ (1)

∵ r² = (PD)² + (DE)² - 2(PD)(DE)cos(180 - Ф) ⇒ cos(180 - Ф) = -cosФ

∴ r² = 16 + 36 + 48cosФ = 52 + 48cosФ ⇒ (2)

∵ (1) = (2)

∴ 32 - 32 cosФ = 52 + 48cosФ

∴ 32 - 52 = 48cosФ + 32cosФ

∴ -20 = 80cosФ

∴ cosФ = -20/80 = -1/4

∴ r² = 32 - 32(-1/4) = 32 + 8 = 40

∴ r = √40 = 2√10 = 6.325

Do not understand please help <br> Thank u
AysviL [449]

Answer:

43.4

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to use the phythagoream therom, which is a² + b² = c².  Plug the values in for the variables to get 7² + b² = 44², (c would equal the hypothenuse because the hypothenuse is the longest side of the triangle.)  Square the values to get 49 + b² = 1936.  Subtract 49 from both sides to get b² = 1887, then take the square root of both sides to get b = 43.4 (rounded to the nearest tenth.)  

I am really sorry if I'm wrong, but have a good day/night!  :)
