Remember y=mx+b
Since y=2 that means it is a horizontal line at 2 on the y axis which means it does not have a slope. The slope would be zero.
Let me work this out really quick and I'll get back to you
<h3>Answer: QS is 37 units long</h3>
=========================================
Explanation:
PN = 24 and NR = 14 are pieces of the chord PR. The two pieces multiply to some value. At the same time, the other two pieces QN = 21 and NS = 2x-4 also multiply to that same value. In short, the chord pieces multiply to the same number. This is known as the intersecting chord theorem.
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*(2x-4)
336 = 42x-84
336+84 = 42x-84+84 .... add 84 to both sides
420 = 42x
42x = 420
42x/42 = 420/42 ...... divide both sides by 42
x = 10
We know that x = 10 so we can use it to find the length of NS
NS = 2x-4
NS = 2*10-4
NS = 20-4
NS = 16
Therefore,
QS = QN + NS
QS = 21 + 16
QS = 37
--------
note: as a check,
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*16
336 = 336
we get a true equation, so we have the proper values
Answer:
p=7
Step-by-step explanation:
2 (5p-4)=3p-7
(10p-8)=3p-7
10p=3p+1
7p=1
p=7
Trig ratios can only be used on right triangles with acute measures.
If given an angle and there are adjacent and opposite sides, then use tan(opposite/adjacent)
If given an angle and there is an adjacent side and a hypotenuse, then use cosine(adjacent/hypotenuse)
If given an angle and there is an opposite and adjacent side, then use sin(opposite/hypotenuse)
A common mnemonic device used to memorize the trig rules is SOH-CAH-TOA
