The rate of ascent is also known as the slope. To find the slope, we will follow the steps below.

Step 1) Choose two points on the line

Point 1: (4, 500)

Point 2: (8, 1000)

Step 2) Use the slope formula to find the slope

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

m = (1000 - 500) / (8 - 4)

m = 500 / 4

m = 125 feet per minute

Hope this helps! :)

Prove that a triangle with the sides a - 1 cm to root under a

vivado [14]

Question is Incomplete, Complete question is given below.

Prove that a triangle with the sides (a − 1) cm, 2√a cm and (a + 1) cm is a right angled triangle.

Answer:

∆ABC is right angled triangle with right angle at B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Triangle having sides (a - 1) cm, 2√a and (a + 1) cm.

We need to prove that triangle is the right angled triangle.

Let the triangle be denoted by Δ ABC with side as;

AB = (a - 1) cm

BC = (2√ a) cm

CA = (a + 1) cm

Hence,

${AB}^2 = (a -1)^2$

Now We know that

$(a- b)^2 = a^2+b^2 - 2ab$

So;

${AB}^2= a^2 + 1^2 -2\times a \times1$

${AB}^2 = a^2 + 1 -2a$

Now;

${BC}^2 = (2\sqrt{a})^2= 4a$

Also;

${CA}^2 = (a + 1)^2$

Now We know that

$(a+ b)^2 = a^2+b^2 + 2ab$

${CA}^2= a^2 + 1^2 +2\times a \times1$

${CA}^2 = a^2 + 1 +2a$

${CA}^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

[By Pythagoras theorem]

$a^2 + 1 +2a = a^2 + 1 - 2a + 4a\\\\a^2 + 1 +2a= a^2 + 1 +2a$

Hence, ${CA}^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

Now In right angled triangle the sum of square of two sides of triangle is equal to square of the third side.

This proves that ∆ABC is right angled triangle with right angle at B.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a square we are finding the area of, we are multiplying two numbers. Which means 1/3 by the power of 2.

I need help with geometry

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

corresponding angles

the angles are equal

equation: 9x+8 = 4x+18

x=2

angle measurements: 26⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

solve your equation

9x+8 = 4x+18

subtract 4x from each side

5x + 8 = 18

subtract 8 from each side

5x = 10

divide by 5

x = 2

insert x=2 into original equations to make sure you get the same answer.

9(2) + 8 = 26

4(2) + 18 = 26
