Answer:

Therefore, the slope of the red line must be -7

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two lines are said to be perpendicular each other, then the multiplicative of their slope is -1.

Let "m1" be the slope a line and "m2" be the slope of the perpendicular line.

So, m1*m2 = -1

Here, let's take "m1" be the slope of the green line and "m2" be the slope of the red line.

They said to be perpendicular to each other.

So, m1*m2 = -1

Given: m1 = 1/7

NOw plug in m1 = 1/7 in the above statement, we get

1/7 *m2 = -1

Let's find the value of m2, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/7

The reciprocal of 1/7 is 7.

7*1/7*m2 = -1*7

7/7.m2 = -7

m2 = -7

Therefore, the slope of the red line must be -7

Answer:

The side s has a length of 4 and side q has a length of 4\sqrt{3} ⇒ F

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 30°-60°-90° triangle, there is a ratio between its sides

side opp (30°) : side opp (60°) : hypotenuse

       1               :         \sqrt{3}            :        2

In the given triangle

∵ The side opposite to 30° is s

∵ The side opposite to 60° is q

∵ The hypotenuse is 8

→ Use the ratio above to find the lengths of s and q

side opp (30°) : side opp (60°) : hypotenuse

       1               :         \sqrt{3}            :        2

       s               :          q             :        8

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ s × 2 = 1 × 8

∴ 2s = 8

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ s = 4

∴ The length of s is 4

∵ q × 2 = \sqrt{3} × 8

∴ 2q = 8\sqrt{3}

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ q = 4\sqrt{3}

∴ The length of q is 4\sqrt{3}
