Answer:

AC=15

BC=17

AB=?

According to Pythagore's Theorem: AB² + AC² = BC².

AB² = BC² - AC²

= (17)² - (15)²

= 289 - 225

AB² = 64

AB = √(64)

= 8.

So AB = 8.

Line BC has an equation of a line Y equals 2X +3 and F has an equation of a line Y equals -1/2 x+4 these two equations represent
Masja [62]

Answer:

Lines BC and F represent perpendicular lines

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

<em>Line BC</em>

y=2x+3

the slope of the line BC is m=2

<em>Line F</em>

y=-(1/2)x+4

the slope of the line F is m=-1/2

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1

so

m1*m2=-1

we have

m1=2 -----> slope line BC

m2=-1/2 -----> slope line F

Find the product of their slopes

(2)(-1/2)=-1

therefore

Lines BC and F represent perpendicular lines
