Isosceles right triangles are half squares, and if the length of one side is 6cm, that is the length of the other side since both segments are equal. Take the formula to find the area of a square (base times height), apply the side measurement of the triangle (6cm) and divide it in half to find the area of half of it (therefore, finding the area of the isosceles triangle.)
(6x6) / 2
6x6 = 36
36 / 2 = 18
The area of the isosceles triangle is 18 square centimeters.
Answer:
1/2
just did this on edgenuity:)
The fraction would be the portion over the total:
240 / 5280
Divide both top and bottom by 240 and the fraction simplifies to 1/22
The answer is 1/22
The answer is 25%.
First: work out the difference between the two numbers you are comparing.
Decrease = Original Number - New Number
35-28=7
Then: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. % Decrease = Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100
7÷
28=.25
.25*100=25

- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx+b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept
So perpendicular lines have <u>slopes that are negative reciprocals</u> to each other, but firstly we need to find the slope of the original equation. The easiest method to find it is to convert this standard form into slope-intercept.
Firstly, subtract 3x on both sides of the equation: 
Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form of the original equation is 
Now looking at this equation, we see that the slope is 3/4. Now since our new line is perpendicular, this means that <em>its slope is -4/3.</em>
Now that we have the slope, plug that into the m variable and plug in (-4,-5) into the x and y coordinates to solve for the b variable as such:

<u>In short, your new equation is y = -4/3x - 10 1/3.</u>
