Let's convert the equation in point-slope form to slope-intercept form.
y - 4 = -(x - 6)
Multiply everything out.
y - 4 = -x + 6
Add 4 to both sides.
y = -x + 10
To be perpendicular, the slope of the new has to be the reciprocal of the other line. To slope in this equation is -1/1. To get the reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator and change the sign too.
-1/1 becomes 1/-1, and changes to 1/+1, or 1.
y = x + b
Input the coordinate point and solve for b.
-2 = -2 + b
Add 2 to both sides.
0 = b
y = x
Answer:
Part 1
Multiply both sides by 2π
2πf = √(g/L)
Square both sides
4π²f²= g/L
Invert both sides
1/(4π²f²) = L/g
Multiply both side by g
g/(4π²f²) = L
We usually write an equation with the subject (L) n the left
L = g/(4π²f²)

Part 2
Using the above equation with the given values:
L = g/(4π²f²)
. .= 9.8 / (4π² x 1.6²)
. .= 0.097m (= 9.7cm)

By the way, where it says
“f=1.6 then there are 2 beats a second, or 192 beats per minute (bpm).”
this should say
“f=1.6 then there are 3.2 beats a second, or 192 beats per minute (bpm)”
Step-by-step explanation:
An interesting question! Let's take a look at the rectangular prism first.
[Rectangular Prism]
We know that the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is:
volume = length * width * height
or more simply
V = L*W*H
All we know is that the volume is 210 cubic meters. We can choose whatever we want for the dimensions to force it to work! We're free to do what we want!
210 = L*W*H
I like 10, that's a nice number. Let's make L = 10.
210 = 10*W*H
Hmm... but now I need W*H to be 21 (think about it, make sure you get why I say that). Well, how about W = 7 and H = 3? That should work.
210 = 10*7*3
It checks! Possible dimensions for the rectangular prism are L = 10 meters, W = 7 meters, and H = 3 meters. There are many other choices of course, but this is a possible choice.
[Triangular Prism]
Same idea, different formula. For a triangular prism, the volume is
V = 1/2 * L*W*H
But the volume is still 210 cubic meters, so we just have
210 = 1/2 * L*W*H
So, one of our dimensions is going to be cut in half. Why don't we just double L to make up for it?
210 = 1/2*(20)*W*H
And we can leave W and H the same
210 = 1/2*20*7*3
Check that it works! A possible choice is L = 20 meters, W = 7 meters and H = 3 meters.
We're done!
