If sides are congruent then the angles ACROSS from them are also congruent.
Since WV and VU are congruent, angle U is congruent to angle W.
Set up an equation and solve.
See attachment.
x = 8
Angle w = 63
X - y = -5
-y = -x - 5
y = x + 5...slope here is 1. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip ur slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
(4,7)...x = 4 and y = 7
now we sub and find b, the y int
7 = -1(4) + b
7 = -4 + b
7 + 4 = b
11 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -x + 11 <==
Answer:
the answers are on the picture but the numbers may be rounded
It'll be 4^2+ 3^2 then the answer you get you take the square root of it which will give you the hypotenuse.
Your answer would be 5 because square root of 25 is 5
If u want the formula it's a^2+b^=c^2
C is the hypotenuse and a and b is the lengths
