Given :
C, D, and E are col-linear, CE = 15.8 centimetres, and DE= 3.5 centimetres.
To Find :
Two possible lengths for CD.
Solution :
Their are two cases :
1)
When D is in between C and E .
. . .
C D E
Here, CD = CE - DE
CD = 15.8 - 3.5 cm
CD = 12.3 cm
2)
When E is in between D and C.
. . .
D E C
Here, CD = CE + DE
CD = 15.8 + 3.5 cm
CD = 19.3 cm
Hence, this is the required solution.
X and Z equal 72
Y equals 108.
This is because y and 108° are vertex angles meaning they are both equal to each other. X is 72 because it’s form a supplementary angle with 108°. So what I did to find x is I subtracted 108 from 180 to get 72°. Then I know x and z are vertex angles meaning that z is also equal to 72°

Hey there!
First, let's look at what perpendicular means. Imagine a cross, where there's all 90 degree angles. That's exactly what we're talking about when we say perpendicular. The given equation is in slope-intercept form, where we have:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
When we're writing an equation with a perpendicular slope, we use the negative reciprocal of the given slope. Thus, we can make 0.3 1/3, and take the reciprocal to make 3, and make it negative 3 as it's the negative reciprocal. Now, we know we have a line with the slope of -3 and goes through (-3, 8). We can use the x and y values in this set of points, along with the slope, to create an equation to solve for b. That gives us:
8 = -3(-3) + b
8 = -9 + b
17 = b
Now, since we have slope and y-intercept, we can write our equation as:
y = -3x + 17
Hope this helps!
