Answer:
Each side of the L-shaped sidewalk is 126 m and 32m respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total length of the sidewalk = 158 meters
Cutting across the lawn the distance = 130 meters
The L-shaped lawn will be treated as a right angled triangle.
So the 130 m distance is the hypotenuse here.
Let one side of the L-shaped lawn be 'x' meter so the another side will be (158-x) meters.
Applying Pythagoras formula.

So,

Applying quadratic formula;
Quadratic formula :
where a=1 and b=-158 and c=4032
So the value of x= 126 and 32.
The length of each side of the sidewalk is 'x'= 126 m and '(158-x)'='(158-126)'=32 m
X = 2a - b²
x - 2a = b²
√x-2a = b
Just to clarify, all of x-2a is under the square root.
Answer:
y = -5/4x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the line we are supposed to find is parallel to y = -5/4x - 5 that means they are going to have the same slope. The line we are looking for is of the following type: y = -5/4 x + b
Since it passes through the point (-8,4):
4 = -5/4 * (-8) + b <=>
4 = -2 + b <=>
4 + 2 = b <=>
b = 6
Hence the line is going to be: y = -5/4x + 6
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
(-7,0) and (8,0) are on the opposite side of origin of x axis
d = 8 - -7 = 15
