Answer:

The length of each side is 26.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite sides of an isoceles triangle are equal

The isoceles triangle is divided into 2 right-angled triangles so the length of one side can be calculated using trigonometric ratio

When the isoceles triangle is divided, the angle in the right-angled triangle is 20° (1/2 of 40°) and the base is 9cm (1/2 of 18 cm), the hypotenuse side is calculated using trigonometric ratio

Let the length of the hypotenuse side be y

9/y = sin 20°

y = 9/0.3420 = 26.3

Length of each side is 26.3 cm

M<br> (2y+19)<br> (5x+20)<br> n<br> (4x-11)
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(5x+20)+(4x-11)=180(linear pair)

9x+9=180

9x=180-9

9x=171

x=171/9

x=19

now,

(2y+19)+(5x+20)=180(co-interior angle)

2y+19+5×19+20=180

2y+134=180

2y=180

y=180/2

y=90

If line a is perpendicular to line b and the slope of line a is 7 whats the slope of line b
amm1812

Answer:

If a line is perpendicular to another line, that means that the slope is completely opposite that of the original line.  The first thing that we do to the slope is we negate the number which means that if we have a slope of -7 our slope because 7 in this step.  In our case our slope is 7 so in this step it becomes -7.

Moving onto the second part which is to get the reciprocal of the number which means that if we have \frac{1}{2} then we would switch it to 2.  In our case our number is -7 so we would make that into a fraction like this -\frac{1}{7}.

In conclusion, our final slope of the perpendicular line is -\frac{1}{7}.
