Well, we see that it is a straight line
so the derivitive would be perpendicular
5/4 times what=-1
-4/5
the slope is -4/5
The value of x is 5/8.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Given,
- The lines PQ and RS are parallel to each other.
- slope of PQ= x-1/4
- slope of RS = 3/8
The slopes of parallel lines are equal.
slope of PQ = slope of RS
⇒ x-1/4 = 3/8
⇒ (4x-1)/4 = 3/8
⇒ 8(4x-1) = 4(3)
⇒ 32x-8 = 12
⇒ 32x = 20
x = 20/32
x = 5/8
Since we know that there are exactly 180 degrees in any triangle, and if each angle is equal to 45 degrees, we must add 45 to 45 and then subtract the result from 180 to find the 3rd angle. Since 45+45=90,we subtract 180-90 and get 90 degrees or a right angle.
