This triangle is a special kind of isosceles triangle - it is a 45-45-90 triangle. Like other isosceles triangles, the legs of 45-45-90 triangles are congruent. However, a special property specific to 45-45-90 triangles is that their hypotenuse is equal to the product of the leg length and the square root of two.

Hyp. = leg(√2)

The hypotenuse is given for this problem, so we can plug it into the formula above to find the leg length.

26 = x(√2)
26/(√2) = x
26(√2)/(√2)(√2) = x
26(√2)/2 = x
13(√2) = x

the equation of line cd is y = 3x − 3. write an equation of a line perpendicular to line cd in slope-intercept form that contain

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The required equation is $y=-\frac{1}{3}x+2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line cd is

$y=3x-3$

Slope intercept form of a line is

$y=mx+b$

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Slope of line cd is 3.

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

$m_1\times m_2=-1$

$3\times m_2=-1$

$m_2=-\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore slope of perpendicular line is $-\frac{1}{3}$ .

Point slope form of a line is

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Slope of perpendicular line is $-\frac{1}{3}$ and line passing through the point (3,1).

$y-1=-\frac{1}{3}(x-3)$

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+1+1$

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+2$

Therefore the required equation is $y=-\frac{1}{3}x+2$ .

If the maximum acceleration that is tolerable for passengers in a subway train is 1.74 m/s2 and subway stations are located 930

Free_Kalibri [48]

Given that the subway stations are 930 m apart, the train have to be accerelated for half the distance and then decerelated for the rest of the distance.

Recall that the distance travelled by an object with an initial velocity, u, for a period of time, t, at an accereration, a, is given by
$s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2$

But, we assume that the train accelerates from rest, thus
$s=\frac{1}{2} at^2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow465=\frac{1}{2}(1.74)t^2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow t^2=534.48 \\ \\ \Rightarrow t=\sqrt{534.48}=23.12$

The maximum speed is attained at half the center of the distance between subway stations (i.e. at distance = 465 m).

Thus, maximum speed = distance / time = 465 / 23.12 = 20.11 m/s.
