Answer:
$16.12
Step-by-step explanation:
55% of $10.40 = 0.55 × $10.40 = $5.72
$10.40 + $5.72 = $16.12
The area of the shape is 230 cm.
Parallel: the lines have = slopes. We thus need 5/6 to equal 2/p. then 5p must equal 12, and p = 12/5. (answer)
Check: Is 5/6 = 2 / (12/5)? YES
Perp.: The lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.
Then -6/5 = 2/p, or
-6 2
---- = ----
5 p Thus, -6p = 10, and p = -5/3 (answer)
