Consider two <u>right triangles</u>:
1. ΔABC with <u>vertices</u> A(0,0), B(0,2), C(6,0). Then AB is perpendicular to AC and AB=2 units (<u>vertical leg</u>), AC=6 units (<u>horizontal leg</u>).
2. ΔXYZ with vertices X(6,-10), Y(6,0), Z(36,-10). Then XY is perpendicular to XZ and XY=10 units (vrrtical leg), XZ=30 units (horizontal leg).
The equation of the line BC is
Check whether points Y and Z lie on this line:
Y(6,0): - true;
Z(36,-10): - true.
Answer: the hypotenuses of these two triangles could lie along the same line
7/8 miles = 49 / 56 miles so it will take the road crew 49 hours to repave the road.
330 times 0.08 equals 26.4. 26.4 plus 330 is 356.4. You will need to convert it to money for to get $356.40 as your final total!!!
