Jina wants to measure the width of a river. She marks off two right triangles, as shown in the figure. The base of the larger tr

iangle has a length of 56m, and the base of the smaller triangle has a length of 26m. The height of the smaller triangle is 20.9m. How wide is the river? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

Answer:

width of a river = 45m

Step-by-step explanation:

ration and proportion

let x = width of a river

x            20.9 m

------  =    --------

56 m       26 m

x = (20.9 * 56) / 26

x = 45 m

therefore the width of a river is 45 m

Need help with this math problem
AysviL [449]

Answer:

CAB = 54

ABC = 21

ACB = 105

DCB = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

18x - 15 = (13x - 11) + (4x + 1)

18x - 15 = 17x - 10

x = 5

CAB = 13x - 11 = 13(5) - 11 = 65 - 11 = 54

ABC = 4x + 1 = 4(5) + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21

ACB = 180 - (CAB + ABC) = 180 - (54 + 21) = 180 - 75 = 105

DCB = 180 - ACB = 180 - 105 = 75

Determine the standard form of the equation of the line that passes through (6,0) and (2,-7).
lesya [120]

Answer:

-7x + 4y = +42

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from point (2, -7) to point (6, 0), x increases by 4 and y increases by 7.  Thus, the slope of the line in question is m = 7/4.

Starting from the equation y = mx + b, and subbing (7/4) for m, 6 for x and 0 for y, we get:

0 = (7/4)(6) + b.  Then b = 42/4, or 21/2.  Thus, we now have y = (7/4)x + 21/2.

We must put this into "standard form."  Multiplying all three terms by 4, we get:

4y = 7x + 42.  Rearranging these terms to fit the "standard form" equation Ax + By = C, we get:

-7x + 4y = +42

Two lines that intersect to form right angle are called
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

When 2 lines intersect at any point, not just in the middle of each (that has nothing to do with it), and they meet to form right angles, the lines are perpendicular to one another and their slopes are opposite reciprocals.
