Y = -2/3x + 7.....the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All tht means is take the original slope, flip it, and change the sign. So we take -2/3....flip it making it -3/2.....change the sign making it 3/2. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of 3/2.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(-5,6)....x = -5 and y = 6
now sub and find b, the y int
6 = 3/2(-5) + b
6 = -15/2 + b
6 + 15/2 = b
12/2 + 15/2 = b
27/2 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3/2x + 27/2 <==

Find the surface area of a cylinder with a height of 7 m and a base radius of 6 m.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

489.84 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of one 2d circle: πr² ⇒ π6² ⇒ 36π ≈ 113.04 (using 3.14 for pi)

Area of both 2d circles: 113.04 + 113.04 =226.08 m²

Now we have to find the width of the rectangle, which is equal to the circumference of either circle:

Width of rectangle: 2πr ⇒ 2π6 = 12π ≈ 37.68 (using 3.14 for pi)

We can find the area of the rectangle now, since the length was given

Area of rectangle: 37.68· 7= 263.76 m²

Surface Area: 263.76+226.08= 489.84m²

Hopefully this helps!

Andrew is painting a wall on the side of his house. He has a 20 foot ladder wich makes a 79 degree angle with the ground. Standi

Andrew can reach a maximum of $24.6ft$ high up the wall.

The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the $sine$ ratio. that is

$sin(72^\circ})=\dfrac{h}{20}$

where $h$ is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for $h$ , we get
