Since x=x, this is an isosceles right triangle. By the Pythagorean Theorem:

h^2=a^2+b^2 (the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the squared sides)

5^2=x^2+x^2

25=2x^2

2x^2=25

x^2=25/2

x=√(25/2)

x=5/√2 now if we rationalize the denominator...

x=(5√2)/(√2√2)

x=(5√2)/2

Give the following equations determine if the lines are parallel perpendicular or neither

GaryK [48]

In order to determine whether the equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, let's simply each equation into a slope-intercept form or basically, solve for y.

Let's start with the first equation.

$\frac{6x-5y}{2}=x+1$

Cross multiply both sides of the equation.

$6x-5y=2(x+1)$ $6x-5y=2x+2$

Subtract 6x on both sides of the equation.

$6x-5y-6x=2x+2-6x$ $-5y=-4x+2$

Divide both sides of the equation by -5.

$-\frac{5y}{-5}=\frac{-4x}{-5}+\frac{2}{-5}$ $y=\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the first equation is 4/5.

Let's now simplify the second equation.

$-4y-x=4x+5$

Add x on both sides of the equation.

$-4y-x+x=4x+5+x$ $-4y=5x+5$

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.

$\frac{-4y}{-4}=\frac{5x}{-4}+\frac{5}{-4}$ $y=-\frac{5}{4}x-\frac{5}{4}$

Therefore, the slope of the second equation is -5/4.

Since the slope of each equation is the negative reciprocal of each other, then the graph of the two equations is perpendicular to each other.

The circumference can be obtained fairly easily by simply substituting the d in c = πd for the colony's given diameter of 12 mm. Performing that calculation using the approximation of π ≈ 3.14, we obtain a circumference of 12 x 3.14 = 37.68 mm.

To find the radius, remember how the diameter and radius of a circle are defined. The radius is a length extending from the center of a circle to a point on its circumference, and a diameter is a line extending from one point on the circle's circumference to an opposite point, passing through the circle's center along the way. The diameter can, in this way, be defined as twice the length of the radius, which means we can find the radius of a circle by taking half of its diameter. In this case, our diameter is 12 mm, so our radius would be 6 mm.
