This is a 30-60-90 triangle. The short leg is given to us as 5
The long leg is equal to sqrt(3) times the short leg
long leg = sqrt(3)*(short leg)
long leg = sqrt(3)*5
long leg = 5*sqrt(3)
The base is 5. The height is 5*sqrt(3)
b = 5
h = 5*sqrt(3)
Use this to find the area
A = b*h/2
A = 5*5*sqrt(3)/2
A = 25*sqrt(3)/2
which is the exact area in terms of a radical
You can write it out as

Answer:
The lines are perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)
Remember that
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
<em>Find the slope of the first line</em>
we have the points
(-3,-1) and (1,-9)
substitute in the formula
<em>Find the slope of the second line</em>
we have the points
(1,4) and (5,6)
substitute in the formula
Simplify
<em>Compare the slopes</em>
Find out the product
therefore
The lines are perpendicular
