Y = -4/5 x - 2
-9 = -4/5 x - 2
-4/5 x = -9 + 2 = -7
-4x = 5(-7) = -35
x = -35/-4 = 35/4

Given that CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is a perpendicular bisector of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, where D is on AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, how can you use the Pythagorean Theor

Liula [17]

Answer:

$(AD)^2 + (CD)^2 = (CA)^2$ and $(CD)^2 + (BD)^2 = (CB)^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bisector: CD

of Line AB

Required

Apply Pythagoras Theorem

From the question, CD bisects AB and it bisects it at D.

The relationship between AB and CD is given by the attachment

Considering ACD

From the attachment, we have that:

$Hypothenuse = CA$

$Opposite = CD$

$Adjacent = AD$

By Pythagoras Theorem, we have

$(AD)^2 + (CD)^2 = (CA)^2$

Considering CBD

From the attachment, we have that:

$Hypothenuse = CB$

$Opposite = CD$

$Adjacent = BD$

By Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

$(CD)^2 + (BD)^2 = (CB)^2$

Write an equation where the left side is your power of 10 times n and the right side is the result of multiplying 0.1515... by t

Neko [114]

Answer:

$n10^x = 0.1515x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Translate the statements to algebraic expression

Represent the power with x;

So, the left hand side is

Power of 10: $10^x$

Times n: $10^x * n$

The right hand side is:

0.1515 * power of 10: $0.1515 * x$

Equate the right hand side to the left:

$10^x * n = 0.1515 * x$

$n10^x = 0.1515x$

Hence;

The required expression is $n10^x = 0.1515x$

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a person travel 50 ft from the bottom to the top of the escalator

Step-by-step explanation:

An escalator lifts people to the second floor of a building, 25 ft above the first floor. The escalator rises at a 30 degree angle

The escalator forms a right angle triangle

opposite to 30 degree angle is 25 feet. to find the distance from the bottom to the top of the escalator we find the hypotenuse

let x be the hypotenuse

$sin(theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

$sin(30)=\frac{25}{x}\\x sin(30)= 25\\x=\frac{25}{sin(30)} \\x=50\\$

a person travel 50 ft from the bottom to the top of the escalator
