Answer:

The slope of the perpendicular line is -b/a

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply together to equal -1

Let the slope of the perpendicular line be p

a/b * p = -1

Multiply each side by b/a so we can isolate p

a/b * b/a * p = -1 * b/a

p = -b/a

The slope of the perpendicular line is -b/a

Answer: 113.0 ft (bottom right corner)

=====================================

Explanation:

The triangle has a horizontal leg of 220 ft and a vertical leg of x ft. We'll use the tangent rule to connect the opposite side and adjacent side

opposite side = x
adjacent side = 220
this is with the reference angle shown in the diagram

So,
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(26) = x/220
220*tan(26) = x
x = 220*tan(26)
x = 107.301169 ... see note below
x = 107.3

Now that we know the approximate value of x, we add on 5.7 to get
x+5.7 = 107.3+5.7 = 113.0

note: make sure your calculator is in degree mode. The value is approximate to 6 decimal places
