$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ 2 &,& 3~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~ 4 &,& -3~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-3-3}{4-2}\implies \cfrac{-6}{2}\implies \cfrac{-3}{1}$

now, a line perpendicular to that one, will have a "negative reciprocal" slope, thus

$\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for}\quad \cfrac{-3}{1}\\\\
negative\implies +\cfrac{3}{ 1}\qquad reciprocal\implies +\cfrac{ 1}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}$

At a zoo, the lion pen has a ring-shaped sidewalk around it. The outer edge of the sidewalk is a circle with a radius of 11 m. T

elixir [45]

Answer:

$\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=40 \pi\text{ m}^2$

$\text{Approximate area of the sidewalk}=125.6\text{ m}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that at a zoo, the lion pen has a ring-shaped sidewalk around it. The outer edge of the sidewalk is a circle with a radius of 11 m. The inner edge of the sidewalk is a circle with a radius of 9 m.

To find the area of the side walk we will subtract the area of inner edge of the side walk of lion pen from the area of the outer edge of the lion pen.

$\text{Area of circle}=\pi r^2$ , where r represents radius of the circle.

$\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=\pi*\text{(11 m)}^2-\pi*\text{(9 m)}^2$

$\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=\pi*\text{121 m}^2-\pi*\text{81 m}^2$

$\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=40 \pi\text{ m}^2$

Therefore, the exact area of the side walk is $40 \pi\text{ m}^2$

To find the approximate area of side walk let us substitute pi equals 3.14.

$\text{Approximate area of the sidewalk}=40*3.14\text{ m}^2$

$\text{Approximate area of the sidewalk}=125.6\text{ m}^2$

Therefore, the approximate area of the side walk is $125.6\text{ m}^2$ .

Rewrite each expression without using absolute value notation |7m-56| if m<8

dusya [7]

Considering the definition of the absolute value function, the expression is written as -7m + 56.

<h3>What is the definition of the absolute value function?</h3>

The absolute value function is defined as follows:

$|x| = x, x \geq 0$ .

$|x| = -x, x < 0$

That is, where the expression is negative, it is multiplied by -1, while where it is not negative the expression is kept.

In this problem, the expression is:

|7m - 56|

For m < 8, we have that one example is m = 0:

7(0) - 56 = -56.

The expression is negative, hence the signal is changed, that is:

|7m - 56| = -(7m - 56) = -7m + 56.

A certain radioactive material decays in such a way that the mass in kilograms remaining after t years is given by the function

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The mass of radioactive material remaining after 50 years would be 48.79 kilograms

<h3>How to determine the amount</h3>

It is important to note that half - life is the time it takes for the amount of a substance to reduce by half its original size.

Given the radioactive decay formula as

m(t)=120e−0.018t

Where

t= 50 years

m(t) is the remaining amount

Substitute the value of t

$m(t) = 120e^-^0^.^0^1^8^(^5^0^)$

$m(t) = 120e^-^0^.^9$

Find the exponential value

m(t) = 48.788399

m(t) = 48.79 kilograms to 2 decimal places

Thus, the mass of radioactive material remaining after 50 years would be 48.79 kilograms
