Answer:

392

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles XQP and YRS are right triangles because triples 6, 8, 10 are Pythagorean triples.

Extend lines XQ, YR, YS and XP and mark their intersection as A and B.

Quadrilateral XAYB is a square because all right triangles PXQ, QAR, RYS and SBP are congruent (by ASA postulate) and therefore

  • all angles of the quadrilateral XAYB are right angles
  • all sides of XAYB are congruent and equal to 6 + 8 = 14 units.

Segment XY is the diagonal of the square XAYB, by Pythagorean theorem,

XY^2=XA^2+AY^2\\ \\XY^2=14^2+14^2\\ \\XY^2=196+196\\ \\XY^2=392

Passes through (2, 3) at a gradient of 2
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

y = 2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing gradient of 2 means slope of 2

if line passes through (2,3) and has a slope of 2, we can use the slope intercept equation

slope-intercept (y=mx+b)

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (which we are trying to find)

so far, we have a point and a slope so we can fill in x,y, and m

(3) = (2)(2) + b

3 = 4 + b

3-4 = 4-4 + b (to undo addition, you use subtraction so I minus 4 from each side)

-1 = b

we found b so we just take the (2,3) out of the equation substitute the x,y back into the equation

y = 2x - 1

Divide 3 and 1/6 /(-9)
ra1l [238]
If you would like to divide 3 and 1/6/(-9), you can do it using the following steps:

3 / 1/6/(-9) = 3/1  /  1/6/(-9) = 3/1 * (-9)/1/6 = -27 / 1/6 = -27 * 6 = -162

The result you get is -162.
