I'm having a hard time with this. A new housing development extends 4 miles in one direction, makes a right turn, and then con-

tinues for 3 miles. A new road runs between the beginning and ending points of the development. What is the perimeter of the triangle formed by the homes and the road? What is the area of the housing development?

Answer:

perimeter = 12 miles

area = 6 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it makes a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Formula.

3^2+4^2=c^2

9+16=c^2

25=c^2

5=c, so the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 5.

Perimeter = 3+4+5 = 12 miles

area = 1/2bh (1/2 base times height)

=1/2x3x4

=6

Area = 6 square miles

the length of a rectangle is 4 times its width. The rectangles perimeter is 68 feet what is the rectangles length and width ??
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Length = 27.2

Width = 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

P = L+L+W+W

68 = 4(L+L)+W+W

68 = 4(x+x)+x+x

68 = 4x+4x+x+x

68 = 10x

x = 6.8

L = 4x

L = 27.2

W = x

W = 6.8

68 = 27.2+27.2+6.8+6.8

68 = 68

Two lines are perpendicular when... the product of their slope is -1, the product of the slope is greater than 0, they have the
Soloha48 [4]

The answer is the product of their slope is -1.

First, let's break this down. Perpendicular lines are line with opposite reciprocal slopes. Opposite meaning the inverse sign and reciprocal meaning flipped.

For instance,

If a line had the slope of 5, its inverse would have a slope of -1/5.

Now, if we multiply these numbers together,

5 * -1/5 = -1

The 5's cancel out.

This works for any two perpendicular lines
