Answer:

Refer picture enclosed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a line BA and a point P.  We have to construct a line perpendicular to BA through P.

Case I: P lies on the line BA

Without loss of generality assume BP is smaller than AP.

Cut an arc C on AB from P such that BP=CP

Now with B and C as centres draw arc up and down the line with more than half length of BC

Join the intersecting of arcs.  That line is the perpendicular for BA through P.

This is because of concurrency of two triangles above the line BC

Case2:

P lies outside the line.  Measure PB and cut an arc of BA with length PB

Let the point be C

Then CP=BP

NOw do as we did before the line with arcs more than 1/2 length of BC from B and C only down.  Join the point of intersection down with P.  This line will be perpendicular through P to BA

Find the x -intercept and the y -intercept. Then use them to graph the line of 6x+2y=-12
Neko [114]
The x intercept is when y=0
6x+0=-12
x=-2, now you have point A with coordinates (-2, 0)
The y intercept is when x=0
0+2y=-12
y=-6, so you have another point with coordinates (0, -6)
Connect those two points, you have your graph. It is a line.

Find the area ratio of a regular octahedron and a tetrahedron regular, knowing that the diagonal of the octahedron is equal to h
Anton [14]

Answer:

\frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a regular octahedron is given by:

area = 2\sqrt{3}\ *edge^2. Let a is the length of the edge (diagonal).

area = 2\sqrt{3}\ *a^2

Given that the diagonal of the octahedron is equal to height (h) of the tetrahedron i.e.

a = h, where h is the height of the tetrahedron and a is the diagonal of the octahedron. Let the edge of the tetrrahedron be e. To find the edge of the tetrahedron, we use:

h=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} } e\\but\ h=a\\a=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} } e\\e=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2} }a

The area of a tetrahedron is given by:

area = \sqrt{3}\ *edge^2 = \sqrt{3} *(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2} }a)^2=\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{3}    *a^2

The ratio of area of regular octahedron to area tetrahedron regular is given as:

Ratio = \frac{2\sqrt{3}\ *a^2}{\frac{3}{2} \sqrt{3}*a^2} =\frac{4}{3}

What are the values of the variables
White raven [17]

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that according to the isosceles triangle theorem, that the angles of the triangle are 90, 2x+3, 2x+3

from the triangle angle sum theorem, we know that 4x+6 = 90

solving, we get 4x=84, x=21
