To solve this, you’ll first need to solve for their slopes.

The slope for line Q is y2-y1/x2-x1 = -8-(-2)/-8-(-10) = -3

We know that the lines are perpendicular so the negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3

The equation you get it y = 1/3x + b.

Now you will need to solve for b by substituting in the first ordered pair of line R.

2 = 1/3(1) + b.

Once you solve for b, you should get 5/3 and y = 1/3x + 5/3

Now, to find a, you will need to substitute in 10 from the second ordered pair into x in your new equation.

y = 1/3(10) + 5/3.

Your solution should be 5.

So your answer is: a = 5

In the figure, triangle CAE is an enlargement of triangle CBD with scale factor of 4/3. The area of the smaller triangle is 9cm2

balandron [24]

Answer:

16 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\triangle CAE$ -- Bigger Triangle

$\triangle CBD$ -- Smaller Triangle

$k = \frac{4}{3}$ --- Scale factor

Area of CBD = 9

Required

Determine the area of CAE

The area of triangle CBD is:

$A_1 = \frac{1}{2}bh$

$\frac{1}{2}bh = 9$

The area of CAE is:

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}BH$

Where:

$B = \frac{4}{3}b$ and

$H = \frac{4}{3}h$

The above values is the dimension of the larger triangle (after dilation).

So, we have:

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3}b * \frac{4}{3} * h$

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3} * \frac{4}{3} *b* h$

$A_2 = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{16}{9} *b* h$

Re-order

$A_2 = \frac{16}{9}*\frac{1}{2}* b* h$

$A_2 = \frac{16}{9}*\frac{1}{2}bh$

Recall that:

$\frac{1}{2}bh = 9$

$A_2 = \frac{16}{9}*9$

$A_2 = 16$

Hence, the area is 16 cm^2

Juan has a piano next month . last week he practiced for 8 hours in the morning and 7 hours in the afternoon. each practice sess

timofeeve [1]

First of all we will divide 8 by 2 to get the number of full practices in the morning, which is 4. Next divide 7 by 2 to get the number of practices in the afternoon. Although there is a remainder, that remainder is not a full practice session, so we only count the whole numbers which is 3.
4 + 3 = 7 full practice sessions.
