to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, - 5 )

m = $\frac{-5+2}{-1-7}$ = $\frac{-3}{-8}$ = $\frac{3}{8}$ → A

Anna is making a banner out of 4 congruent triangles as shown below. How much blue trim will she need for each side

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The length of each blue trim is 17.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for banner

Required

The length of each blue trim

Since all 4 triangles are equal, then the dimension of 1 triangle is:

$Side\ 1 = 10$

$Side\ 2 = 14$

The hypotenuse (x) of the triangle blue trim is represented by the blue trim

So:

$x^2 = Side\ 1^2 + Side\ 2^2$

This gives

$x^2 = 10^2 + 14^2$

$x^2 = 100 + 196$

$x^2 = 296$

Take square root

$x = \sqrt{296$

$x = 17.2in$
