Answer:

Segments AB and CD are perpendicular to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to convert line segments AB and CD into slope-intercept form(y=mx+b), you would get y=-5x+1 for AB and y=1/5x-5.

Any line with a slope that is flipped-oppisite (-5/1 to -1/5 to1/5)

of another line must be perpendicular to each other. It doesn't have to have the same y-intercept, it just makes the intersecting point different.

Answer:

"They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −5 and one fifth."

Step-by-step explanation:

These lines are both in a form called point-slope form which is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1) where m is slope and (x_1,y_1) is a point on the line.

If we determine the slopes are opposite reciprocal, then we have determine the lines are perpendicular.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y − 4 = −5(x − 1), we see the m is -5.

The slope of this line is -5.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y − 4 = one fifth(x − 5), we see the m is (1/5).

The opposite reciprocal of -5 is 1/5 so theses lines are perpendicular.

Answer:

15/2 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the vol. of a pyramid

is

V = (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid)

Here, the volume is:

V = (1/3)( [1/2][5 in][9 in] )·(10 in)

   = (9/3)(5/2)(10) in³

    =  450/6 in³   =   150/2 in³  =  75 in³     Volume of the pyramid

You are rolling two dice at the same time. What is the probability of rolling a sum of 5 or 9?
baherus [9]
You can get a 5 by rolling :
1 and 4
2 and 3
3 and 2
4 and 1

You can get a 9 by rolling :
3 and 6
4 and 5
5 and 4
6 and 3

There are 36 possible outcomes, hence your probability is \frac{4\cdot2}{36}=\boxed{\frac29}
