Answer:
1. 7.1 cm
2. 10.9 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You know the legs of a right triangle must be shorter than the hypotenuse. The only answer choice shorter than 8 cm is 7.1 cm.
__
2. By the Law of Sines, ...
AB/AC = sin(ACB)/sin(B)
AB = AC·sin(72°)/sin(38°) = 1.545·AC
The approximate value of AC from problem 1 is sufficient to get you close to the answer.
AB ≈ 7.1×1.545 ≈ 10.9 . . . cm

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's rewrite the given equation such that only y is on the left side and everything else on the right side:

Simplifying this by dividing by 6, we get

This line has a slope of -1/2, which means that a line perpendicular to this has a slope of 2 (i.e., negative reciprocal). So we can write its equation as

This is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line perpendicular to our given line. To complete this form, we need to find the value of b. Since this line passes through (1, -7), put these numbers into our equation to get

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation can be written as

180=11+2x
-11 -11
169/2=2x\2
x=84.5
