Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
To find the length of HJ, we can use different equations as follows:
✔️Recall: SOHCAHTOA
Let's take <G as the reference angle = 28°
Opposite side to reference angle = HJ
Hypotenuse = 20
Apply SOH.
Thus:
Sin 28° = opp/hyp
Sin 28° = HJ/20 (Alex's equation is correct).
Solving further, we would have:
HJ = Sin 28 * 20 ≈ 9.4
✔️Another way is by using <H as the reference angle.
m<H = 180° - (90° + 28°) (sum of triangle)
m<H = 62°
Adjacent side to reference angle (<H) = HJ
Hypotenuse = 20
Apply CAH:
Cos 62° = Adj/Hyp
Cos 62° = HJ/20 (Marlene's equation is correct)
Solving further, we would have,
HJ = Cos 62° * 20 ≈ 9.4
As you can see, the equation of both students are correct. Both would arrive at the same answer using any of the two equations.
Answer:
If a line is perpendicular to another line, that means that the slope is completely opposite that of the original line. The first thing that we do to the slope is we negate the number which means that if we have a slope of our slope because
in this step. In our case our slope is
so in this step it becomes
.
Moving onto the second part which is to get the reciprocal of the number which means that if we have then we would switch it to
. In our case our number is
so we would make that into a fraction like this
.
In conclusion, our final slope of the perpendicular line is .
