The cross section is going to be a rectangle. It was sliced parallel to its base, so the cross section is going to be the same shape as the base.
These are congruent angles. So they would be equal to each other. 6x=4x+50
2x=50
x=25°

Hey there! :)
To find the equation of a line that passes through (2, -4) & (5, 13), we must first find the slope.
To find the slope, we must use the slope equation, which is : m = (y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)
So, let's plug everything in!
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
m = (13 - (-4)) / (5 - 2)
Simplify.
m = (13 + 4) / 3
Simplify.
m = 17/3
So, our slope is 17/3!
Now, let's find the equation of the line using slope-intercept form.
Remember that slope-intercept form is : y=mx+b where m=slope, b=y-intercept.
Since we already have the slope, all we need to do is find the y-intercept.
To find the y-intercept, let's plug all of our known variables into y-intercept form, using the points (2, 4) and the slope 17/3.
y = mx + b
(4) = (17/3)(2) + b
Simplify.
4 = 24/3 + b
Simplify.
4 = 8 + b
Subtract 8 from both sides.
4 - 8 = b
Simplify.
-4 = b
So, our y-intercept is b!
Using our known variables (slope, y-intercept), we can very easily plug it into a new slope-intercept equation!
y = mx + b
So, since our slope is 17/3 and our y-intercept is -4, let's plug and chug!
y = 17/3x - 4 → our final answer
~Hope I helped!~
The square root is about 5.66 (that is rounded)
