Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The slope of a line is \dfrac{1}{2}.

We know that the product of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Let m be the slope of  line that is perpendicular to given line.

Then,we have :-

m\times\dfrac{1}{2}=-1\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=-2

Hence, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line =-2

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. So if 1 slope has a slope of 1/2, then its perpendicular line has a slope of -2/1 or just -2

In a recent international sport competition, the top 3 countries— Country A, Country B, and Country C— won a total of 134 medals
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Country A = 85, Country B = 29, Country C = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

A+B+C=134 ----- eq(1)

B=C+9 ------------ eq(2)

A=36+B+C ------ eq(3)

By substituting eq(2) in eq(3), we get:

A=36+C+9+C

A=2C+45 ------- eq(4)

Now substituting eq(2) & eq(4) in eq(1), we get

2C+45+C+9+C=134

4C+54=134

4C=134-54

4C=80

C=20

Now putting the value of C in eq(2),

B=20+9

B=29

Substituting the value of B & C in eq(1), we get:

A+29+20=134

A+49=134

A=134-49

A=85

A yardstick casts a shadow of 24 in. At the same time a telephone pole casts a shadow of 20 ft 8 in. What is the height of the t
finlep [7]

Answer:

372 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 yd = 36 in., and 1 ft = 12 in.)

1 yard stick = 24 in

This means , height of 36 inches casts a shadow of 24 Inches

At the same time a telephone pole casts a shadow of 20 ft 8 in

1 ft = 12 in

Hence,

Convey 20ft to inches

1 ft = 12 in

20 ft = 20 × 12 inches

= 240 inches

Total shadow of the telephone pole = 240in + 8 in = 248 = 248 inches

Hence,

Height/Length of shadow = Height/Length of shadow

36/24= x /248

Cross Multiply

24 × x = 36× 248

x = 36 × 248/24

x = 372 inches

The height of the telephone pole, to the nearest inch is 372 inches
