The correct answer to this problem would be -3. Based on the points you've provided on the graph, -3 would be the correct common difference. :)
Larger triangle’s base length
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 3^2 = 8^2
a^2 = 8^2 - (3^2)
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(55)
a = sqrt(55)
__________________
Smaller triangle’s base length:
The same formula applies.
a^2 + 3^2 = 5^2
a^2 = 5^2 - (3^2)
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(16)
a = 4
____________
The finale!
Add the two side lengths of a, which is sqrt(55) + 4 (exact answer)
or... 11.416 (unrounded to thousandths place)
Good luck to you!
Answer:
Again every triangle is 180° and so is every straight line, so 180-105 is 75° so 75°+85° is 160 and 180-160 is 20° so your missing angle is 20°
Answer: Choice D
(a-e)/f
=======================================
Explanation:
Points D and B are at locations (e,f) and (a,0) respectively.
Find the slope of line DB to get
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (0-f)/(a-e)
m = -f/(a-e)
This is the slope of line DB. We want the perpendicular slope to this line. So we'll flip the fraction to get -(a-e)/f and then flip the sign from negative to positive. That leads to the final answer (a-e)/f.
Another example would be an original slope of -2/5 has a perpendicular slope of 5/2. Notice how the two slopes -2/5 and 5/2 multiply to -1. This is true of any pair of perpendicular lines where neither line is vertical.
