Sorry i accidentally added the answer when i meant to exit out. I dont know how to delete it and im sorry
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel: the lines have = slopes. We thus need 5/6 to equal 2/p. then 5p must equal 12, and p = 12/5. (answer)
Check: Is 5/6 = 2 / (12/5)? YES
Perp.: The lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.
Then -6/5 = 2/p, or
-6 2
---- = ----
5 p Thus, -6p = 10, and p = -5/3 (answer)
This is wrong.
It's supposed to be -4/15.
But try -4/5.
Simplify the following:
(3 sqrt(2) - 4)/(sqrt(3) - 2)
Multiply numerator and denominator of (3 sqrt(2) - 4)/(sqrt(3) - 2) by -1:
-(3 sqrt(2) - 4)/(2 - sqrt(3))
-(3 sqrt(2) - 4) = 4 - 3 sqrt(2):
(4 - 3 sqrt(2))/(2 - sqrt(3))
Multiply numerator and denominator of (4 - 3 sqrt(2))/(2 - sqrt(3)) by sqrt(3) + 2:
((4 - 3 sqrt(2)) (sqrt(3) + 2))/((2 - sqrt(3)) (sqrt(3) + 2))
(2 - sqrt(3)) (sqrt(3) + 2) = 2×2 + 2 sqrt(3) - sqrt(3)×2 - sqrt(3) sqrt(3) = 4 + 2 sqrt(3) - 2 sqrt(3) - 3 = 1:
((4 - 3 sqrt(2)) (sqrt(3) + 2))/1
((4 - 3 sqrt(2)) (sqrt(3) + 2))/1 = (4 - 3 sqrt(2)) (sqrt(3) + 2):
Answer: (4 - 3 sqrt(2)) (sqrt(3) + 2)
The length of each leg is 6
