Answer:

a) Height = OC = 13.3cm

b) Perimeter = 48.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given:

ODC is a right angle triangle and

ABCD is part of it.

AB = 6 cm

CD = 15 cm

BC = 8 cm

∠BCD = 90 degrees

AB is parallel to DC

Find attached the diagram obtained from the given information.

From the diagram, ∆OAB is similar to ∆ODC.

∠OBA = ∠OCD = 90 degrees

To find the height, we would apply the similar triangles theorem.

The ratio of corresponding sides are equal and the angles are congruent.

OB/BA = OC/CD

OC = OB+BC = OB+8

OB/6 = (OB+8)/15

15OB = 6(OB+8)

15OB = 6OB + 48

9OB = 48

OB = 48/9 = 16/3

OC = 16/3 + 8

OC = 13⅓ cm = 13.3cm

Height = OC = 13.3cm

b) To get perimeter, we have to first determine OD (the hypotenuse of ∆OCD) as it is a right angled triangle

Using Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

OD² = OC² + CD²

OD² = (13⅓)² + 15²

OD² = 1600/9 + 225 = 3625/9

OD = √(3625/9)

OD = 20.1

Perimeter of ∆ODC= OC + CD + OD

= 13.3 + 15 + 20.1

Perimeter = 48.4cm

1. Find the slope of a line that passes through the points (-1,-4) and (5, -1).
Blizzard [7]
The answer is A. 1/2

(-1,-4) are (x1, y1)
(5,-1) are (x2, y2)
So you subtract y2-y1/x2-x1 = -1-(-4)/5-(-1)
-1-(4) = 3
5-(-1) = 6
3/6= 1/2
Slope is 1/2 making A your answer
