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

BC = 36; D = 15. What is the value of BD - AC.<br> B<br> A<br> BD - AC =

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

BD - AC = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

BC = 36 , CD = 15 and BD = x

As these are forming right angled triangle,

Using Pythagorean theorem,

$(BD)^2+(CD)^2=x^2\\(36)^2+(15)^2 = x^2\\1296 + 225 = x^2\\1521 = x^2\\$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{1521}\\x=39$

As the given shape is rectangular, the sides parallel to each other will have same values.

AB = 15 , AD = 36 and AC = x

$(15)^2+(36)^2 = x^2 \\225 + 1296 = x^2 \\1521 = x^2 \\x = 39$

Now,

BD - AC = 39 - 39 = 0

Hence,

BD - AC = 0
