Answer:

B. 39.918 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the length of the first swing, the arc is 65 cm, and the successive swing the arc is 85% of the length of the previous swing.

The problem is asking for the length of the arc on the fourth swing:

We know that the arc of every consecutive swing will be 85% of the swing before, and we know that 85% = 0.85

So the length of the arc of the second swing will be:

85% * length of the arc on the first swing, or

<em>0.85 * 65 cm = 55.25 cm</em>

Now, to know the length of the arc on the third swing we multiply the length of the arc on the second swing times 0.85:

<em>0.85 * 55.25 cm = 46.962 cm</em>

And finally, the length of the arc on the fourth swing will be the length of the arc in the third swing times 0.85:

0.85 * 46.962 cm = 39.918 cm

Find the equation of the line which passes through the point
sammy [17]

Answer:

y= \frac{1}{5}x- \frac{56}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of the line that goes through: !6,-10) and is perpendicular to the line

5x + 3y = 2y - 3

Let's simplify the equation of the line to get:

3y - 2y = - 5x + 3

y = - 5x + 3

The slope of this line is -5.

The perpendicular to this line has a slope of

\frac{1}{5}

The equation going through (6,-10) is

y=m(x-x_1)+y_1

We substitute to get;

y= \frac{1}{5} (x-6) - 10

Expand;

y= \frac{1}{5}x- \frac{6}{5}  - 10

y= \frac{1}{5}x- \frac{56}{5}
