Answer:

Will ran the longer distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate this you have to create a triangle with the values that you are given, and the distance ran would be the hypothenuse, remember the formula for hypothnuse:

H=\sqrt[2]{a^2+b^2}

Now we just insert the values into the formula:

H=\sqrt[2]{a^2+b^2}\\H=\sqrt[2]{40^2+40^2}\\H=56,56

H=\sqrt[2]{a^2+b^2}\\H=\sqrt[2]{25^2+35^2}\\H=43,01

AS you can see the hypothenuse in the square is greater than that of the rectangle, so Will who ran the hypothenuse of the square will be the one that ran the longer distance.

Answer: The distance across a rectangular field is longer distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimension of square = 40 yards

So, Dimensions of rectangle are :

Length = 25 yards

Width = 35 yards

So, Perimeter of rectangle would be

2\times (l+b)\\\\=2\times (25+35)\\\\=2\times 60\\\\=120\ yards

Diagonal of square would be

\sqrt{40^2+40^2}\\\\=\sqrt{1600+1600}\\\\=\sqrt{3200}\\\\=56.56\ yards

Hence, the distance across a rectangular field is longer distance.

If line a is perpendicular to line b and the slope of line a is 7 whats the slope of line b
amm1812

Answer:

If a line is perpendicular to another line, that means that the slope is completely opposite that of the original line.  The first thing that we do to the slope is we negate the number which means that if we have a slope of -7 our slope because 7 in this step.  In our case our slope is 7 so in this step it becomes -7.

Moving onto the second part which is to get the reciprocal of the number which means that if we have \frac{1}{2} then we would switch it to 2.  In our case our number is -7 so we would make that into a fraction like this -\frac{1}{7}.

In conclusion, our final slope of the perpendicular line is -\frac{1}{7}.

Compare -15/4 and -3 3/8
muminat

Answer:

-15/4 > -3 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

I converted -15/4 into a mixed number with a denominator of 8. First, I made it a mixed number (-3 1/4) and then I converted it to eighths (-3 2/8). Compared to -3 3/8, -15/4 is larger.
