Let a = longest side <em> (Establishing labels)</em>
let b = shortest side
let c = third side
P = 14.5 <em> (Given)</em>
a = 6.2
b = 1/2(a)
P = a + b + c
P = 6.2 + 3.1 + c <em>(Fill in given info in equation)</em>
P = 9.3 + c <em>(Simplify)</em>
14.5 = 9.3 + c <em>(Simplify)</em>
c = 14.5 - 9.3 <em>(Solve)</em>
c = 5.2
Hope this made sense!
Use a calculator that’s what I always do
Answer:
y+4=-(2/5)(x-5) ----> equation of the line into point slope form
y=-(2/5)x-2 ----> equation of the line into slope intercept form
2x+5y=-10 ----> equation of the line in standard form
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the given line
we have
5x-2y=-6
isolate the variable y
2y=5x+6
y=2.5x+3
The slope m of the given line is m=2.5
step 2
Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line
We know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are inverse reciprocal each other
so
m1=5/2
the inverse reciprocal is
m2=-2/5
step 3
Find the equation of the line into point slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
we have
m=-2/5
point (5,-4)
substitute
y+4=-(2/5)(x-5) ----> equation of the line into point slope form
y=-(2/5)x+2-4
y=-(2/5)x-2 ----> equation of the line into slope intercept form
Multiply by 5 both sides
5y=-2x-10
2x+5y=-10 ----> equation of the line in standard form
The answer is 244 because you add 35 to 287 then subtract 78 and it equals 244
