Find the equations of the lines...
First find the slope...(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m
m=(6-1)/(8-5)=5/3 and it passes through (5,1) so
y=mx+b becomes:
y=5x/3+b and using (5,1)
1=5(5)/3+b
1=25/3+b
3/3-25/3=b
b=-22/3 so
y1=(5x-22)/3
.... now y2...
m=(8-3)/(-1--4)=5/3 (note it has the same slope as y1...
y=5x/3+b and using the point (-1,8)
8=5(-1)/3+b
8=-5/3+b
24/3+5/3=b
b=29/3, now note that the y-intercept is different...
y2=(5x+29)/3
Since these lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they are parallel to each other. (and will never intersect.)
Answer:
The height of the flagpole is 46 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the ratio to connect the variables
Tan(∅) = opposite/adjacent
Plug in the Variables
Tan(39) = x/50
Solve for x
50*tan(39) = x
x = 40.48
Don't forget to include the man's height
40.48 + 6 = 46.48
Answer:
<em>The base is 24 cm long.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
Let's call
b= base of the triangle
h=height of the triangle
The base is 9 cm longer than the height, thus:
b = h + 9
The area of the triangle is:


And its value is 180:

Multiplying by 2:

Operating:

Factoring:

The only valid positive solution is:
h = 15 cm
And b = h + 9 = 24
b = 24 cm
The base is 24 cm long.
Answer:
x = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
0.3 (4 - x) = x - 1.4
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
1.2 - 0.3 x = x - 1.4
Subtract x from both sides:
1.2 + (-0.3 x - x) = (x - x) - 1.4
-0.3 x - x = -1.3 x:
-1.3 x + 1.2 = (x - x) - 1.4
x - x = 0:
1.2 - 1.3 x = -1.4
Subtract 1.2` from both sides:
(1.2 - 1.2) - 1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4
1.2 - 1.2 = 0:
-1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4
-1.2 - 1.4 = -2.6:
-1.3 x = -2.6
Divide both sides of -1.3 x = -2.6 by -1.3:
(-1.3 x)/(-1.3) = (-2.6)/(-1.3)
(-1.3)/(-1.3) = 1:
x = (-2.6)/(-1.3)
(-2.6)/(-1.3) = 2.:
Answer: x = 2.
oh ok alr thank you so much
