I think you want the least common multipule (exg LCM of 2,3,4 is 12)

so we find the factors and include all of them so like this

15=3 times 5
12=2 times 2 times 3
8=2 times 2 times 2

so to include all of them we include 3 2's, 1 3 and 1 5 or 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 5 or 8 times 15 or 4 times 30 or 120

the LCM is 120

so 4/15=32/120
1/12=10/120
3/8=45/120

add 32/120+10/120+45/120=(32+10+45)/120=87/120

The least common denominator would be the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, 15 12 and 8.

To find the LCM, multiply two of the numbers together and test to see if the third one divides evenly into it.

15 x 8 = 120

120 ÷ 12 = 10

Because all three numbers go evenly into 120 (and 120 is the smallest number for which that is true), the least common denominator would be 120.

Answer:

(5) The perpendicular height of the triangle is 8.48 mm.

(6) The 1184.86 cm far up the wall the ladder reach.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (5):

When a perpendicular is drawn in an isosceles triangle then the perpendicular divided the base into 2 equal parts.

The figures is shown below.

In ΔABC,

CB = 6 mm

So,

CD = BD = 3 mm

Now calculating the perpendicular height of the triangle.

Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔADC:

(AC)^2=(CD)^2+(AD)^2\\\\(9)^2=(3)^2+(AD)^2\\\\81=9+(AD)^2\\\\(AD)^2=81-9\\\\(AD)^2=72\\\\AD=8.48mm

Thus, the perpendicular height of the triangle is 8.48 mm.

Part (6):

The figure is shown below.

Converting meter to centimeter:

1 m = 100 cm

So,

12 m = 1200 cm

Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔXYZ:

(XZ)^2=(YZ)^2+(XY)^2\\\\(1200)^2=(190)^2+(XY)^2\\\\1440000=36100+(XY)^2\\\\(XY)^2=1440000-36100\\\\(XY)^2=1403900\\\\XY=1184.86cm

Thus, 1184.86 cm far up the wall the ladder reach.

I need help on how to find the slope of the first two question
nikitadnepr [17]
Remember the equation for slope is y=mx+b {m=slope, and b=y-intercept.} {Slope= rise/run}
1.) y= 2x+0
2.) y= -3/4x+0.5

P.S.: hope I helped :)
