Answer:

y=(5/2)x - 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by finding the equation of the line given from the points. To do this, we will calculate the slope first then the y-intercept.

Line Equation: y=mx+b

Finding the slope value,

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(4-2)/(-2-3)

m=-2/5

Finding the y-intercept,

y=(-2/5)x+b

Substituting one of the two coordinate pairs into the equation,

2=(-2/5)3+b

2=-6/5 +b

b=16/5

Thus the equation of the line is y=(-2/5)x + 16/5

To find the line perpendicular to this line, we have to take the negative reciprocal of the slope. So our equation for the perpendicular line is,

y=(5/2)x + b

Since the perpendicular line passes through (1,1), we can substitute this point to get the value of b,

1=(5/2)1 +b

1=5/2 + b

b= -3/2

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=(5/2)x - 3/2

Find the area of the regular figure below:

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

1,496.49 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular figure below is a hexagon.

The formula for the area of a regular hexagon is $A = \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} a^2$ . Here a = 24. Substitute and simplify for the area.

$A = \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} a^2\\A = \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} 24^2\\A = \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} * 576\\A = 1496.49$

Decimals that have the same value are

shepuryov [24]

<span>Decimals that have the same value are equivalent decimals. Equivalent decimals are decimal numbers that have the same value (the same amount). In other words equivalent decimal numbers have the same value but different number of decimals. For example:
0.5 and 0.50 are equivalent decimals.
0.5 and 0.500
0.05 and 0.0500

Directions: Calculate the area of a circle using 3.14x the radius

Leokris [45]

$\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨$

As we know ~

Area of the circle is :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:\pi {r}^{2}$

And radius (r) = diameter (d) ÷ 2

[ radius of the circle = half the measure of diameter ]

<h3>Problem 1</h3>

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = d \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 4.4\div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 2.2 \: mm$

Now find the Area ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \pi {r}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times {(2.2)}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times {4.84}^{}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:area \approx 15.2 \: \: mm {}^{2}$

<h3>problem 2</h3>

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = d \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 3.7 \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 1.85 \: \: cm$

Bow, calculate the Area ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \pi {r}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times (1.85) {}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times 3.4225 {}^{}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:area \approx 10.75 \: \: cm {}^{2}$

<h3>Problem 3 </h3>

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:\pi {r}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times (8.3) {}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times 68.89$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:area \approx216.31 \: \: cm {}^{2}$

<h3>Problem 4</h3>

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = d \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 5.8 \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 2.9 \: \: yd$

now, let's calculate area ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times {(2.9)}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times 8.41$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:area \approx26.41 \: \: yd {}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times (0.5) {}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times 0.25$

<h3>problem 6</h3>

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:\pi {r}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times {(8)}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times 64$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:area = 200.96 \: \: yd {}^{2}$
