Answer:
he forgot to put the decimal point
Step-by-step explanation:
answer is 1.05.
The barn, the ground, and the ladder form a right triangle. If we represent the height on the barn by y, then the Pythagorean theorem tells us
... hypotenuse² = (side1)² + (side2)²
... (12 ft)² = (3 ft)² + y² . . . . . . . . . . . . fill in given information
... 144 ft² - 9 ft² = y² = 135 ft² . . . . . .subtract (3 ft)²
... y = 3√15 ft ≈ 11.6 ft . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
The ladder reaches 11.6 feet high on the barn.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to write the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line, we first have to know what the slope of the given line is, and there's no way to tell by looking at it in its current form, which is standard. We need to solve that equation for y to determine the slope of that line. Solving for y:
and
3y = 4x - 5 (just change all the signs so our y term isn't negative anymore...yes, you're "allowed" to do that!) and
So we can see now that the slope of this line is 4/3. That means that the perpendicular slope is -3/4. Passing through the given point (3, 5):
* and
and
so
** and, in standard form:
4y = -3x + 29 and
3x + 4y = 29***
* : point-slope form
** : slope-intercept form
*** : standard form
Answer:
B. (6, 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure this out, you can plug in the coordinates to see if you get matching answers. Since you believe answer "B," is correct, we can check:
y - 8 = -3(x - 6)
8 - 8 = -3(6 - 6)
0 = -3(0)
0 = 0
<u>Since the answers match, that makes answer "B," correct.</u>
