Answer:

y = -2x + 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the perpendicular line = -1 / slope of the given line

= -1 / 1/2 = -2.

Using the point slope form of the equation of a straight line:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 8 = -2(x - 4)

y - 8 = -2x + 8

y = -2x + 16 is the required equation.

22. Find the perimeter and area.

zmey [24]

Answer:

Part 22) The area is $A=15a^3b^6\ units^2($ and the perimeter is $P=10a^2b^4+6ab^2\ unit$

Part 24) The area is $A=16m^3n\ units^2$ and the perimeter is $P=24mn\ units$

Part 26) The area is equal to $A=9\pi x^6y^{2}\ units^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 22) Find the perimeter and area

step 1

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=LW$

we have

$L=5(a^2)(b^4)\ units$

$W=3(a)(b^2)\ units$

Remember that

When multiply exponents with the same base, adds the exponents and maintain the base

substitute in the formula

$A=(5(a^2)(b^4))(3(a)(b^2))$

$A=15a^3b^6\ units^2$

step 2

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

$P=2(L+W)$

we have

$L=5(a^2)(b^4)\ units$

$W=3(a)(b^2)\ units$

substitute in the formula

$P=2(5(a^2)(b^4)+3(a)(b^2))$

$P=10a^2b^4+6ab^2\ unit$

Part 24) Find the perimeter and area

step 1

The area of triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

where

$b=8mn\ units$

$h=4m^2\ units$

Remember that

When multiply exponents with the same base, adds the exponents and maintain the base

substitute the given values

$A=\frac{1}{2}(8mn)(4m^2)$

$A=16m^3n\ units^2$

step 2

Find the perimeter

I will assume that is an equilateral triangle (has three equal length sides)

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is

$P=3b$

where

$b=8mn\ units$

substitute

$P=3(8mn)$

$P=24mn\ units$

Part 26) Find the area

The area of a circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

where

$r=3x^3y\ units$

Remember the property

$(a^{m})^{n}=a^{m*n}$

substitute in the formula the given value

$A=\pi (3x^3y)^{2}$

$A=9\pi x^6y^{2}\ units^2$
