Use Pythagorean theorem.

$x^2+4^2=5^2\\\\x^2+16=25\qquad\text{subtract 16 from both sides}\\\\x^2=9\to x=\sqrt9\to x=3\ (cm)\\\\y^2+4^2=7.5^2\\\\y^2+16=56.25\qquad\text{subtract 16 from both sides}\\\\y^2=40.25\to y=\sqrt{40.25}\\\\y\approx6.34\\\\x+y=3+6.34=9.34\approx9\ cm$

<h3>Answer: B. 9 cm.</h3>

Line $\ell_1$ is horizontal and passes through $(1,1)$. Line $\ell_2$ is vertical and passes through $(2,2)$. Find the point of

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

(2,1)

Step by step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that line $l_1$ is horizontal and passes through point (1,1). Line $l_2$ is vertical and passes through point (2,2). We are asked to find point of intersection of line $l_1$ and line $l_2$ .

Line $l_1$ is a horizontal line so y-coordinate will be 1 for any value of x. Line $l_2$ is a vertical line, so x-coordinate will be 2 for any value of y.

Therefore, intersection point of both lines will include x-coordinate of line $l_2$ and y-coordinate of line $l_1$ that is (2,1).
