Answer:

$a=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2a-9=6a+15$

Add 9 to both sides:

$-2a-9+9=6a+15+9$

$-2a=6a+24$

Subtract 6a from both sides:

$-2a-6a=6a+24-6a$

$-8a=24$

Divide both sides by -8:

$\frac{-8a}{-8}=\frac{24}{-8}$

$a=-3$

$sin(51^o)= \frac{y}{12} \ \ \to \ \ y=12*sin(51^o)=12* 0.7771 \approx 9.33$

#2
$\theta=arccos( \frac{5^2+13^2-12^2}{2*5*13}) = arccos( \frac{25+169-144}{130})=arccos( \frac{50 }{130})= \\ \\ arccos(0.3846) \approx67.4^o$

#3
$tan(13^o)= \frac{x}{24} \ \ \to \ \ x=24*tan(13^o)=24* 0.2309 \approx 5.54$

#4
$sin(20^o)= \frac{10}{x} \ \ \to \ \ x= \frac{10}{sin(20^o)} = \frac{10}{0.342} \approx 29.24$

Answer:

A perpendicular line is a line that meets a 90 degree angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the letter L

the top stick of the letter is perpendicular to the bottom stick and it makes a 90 degree angle.

Thats the best way I can explain it.

Hope this helps and please mark me brainliest if it did :)
