She did not multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
2x-6y =-2
<u>+ 2x+6y=3
</u><u /> 4x =1
x=1/4
y=5/12
Answer:
side length is
feet
Step-by-step explanation:
An equilateral triangle has a height of 10 feet. the height of the triangle is the perpendicular bisector to the base
so it forms a two right angle triangle
the triangle formed is a 30-60-90 degree triangle
the diagram is attached below
Let x be the side if the equilateral triangle
sin(theta)=opposite by hypotenuse


cross multiply


Distance formula : d = sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
(-5,-1)(-1,12)
d = sqrt (-1-(-5)^2 + (12 - (-1)^2
d = sqrt (-1 + 5)^2 + (12 + 1)^2
d = sqrt (4^2) + (13^2)
d = sqrt (16 + 169)
d = sqrt 185
d = 13.60 <==
