Answer:

Remi needs 15 cm of wood to be cut for the shelf.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have drawn the triangle for your reference.

Now Given:

Base measure (BC) =30 cm

Slant height (AB) = 24 cm

Slant height (AC) = 18 cm

Also Given horizontal shelf halfway between the base and the top.

In the triangle drawn horizontal shelf is denoted by DE.

We need to find the measure of DE.

Now we know that horizontal shelf halfway between the base and the top.

Hence by Midpoint theorem which states that;

"The segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side."

DE=\frac{1}{2}\times BC

Substituting the value we get;

DE = \frac{1}{2}\times 30 =15\ cm

Hence Remi needs 15 cm of wood to be cut for the shelf.

Which expression is equivalent to (5^-2)(5^-1)
nadya68 [22]
The rule for multiplying similar bases with exponents:

(a^b)(a^c)=a^(b+c)

In this case we have:

(5^-2)(5^-1)

5^(-2-1)

5^(-3)

The rule for negative exponents:

a^(-b)=1/(a^b)

So in this case:

5^(-3) is equal to 

1/(5^3)

Does someone know how to solve this problem?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Acute scalene triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acute scalene triangle.

Sides: a = 4   b = 7   c = 8

Area: T = 13.998

Perimeter: p = 19

Semiperimeter: s = 9.5

Angle ∠ A = α = 29.995° = 29°59'41″ = 0.524 rad

Angle ∠ B = β = 61.028° = 61°1'42″ = 1.065 rad

Angle ∠ C = γ = 88.977° = 88°58'37″ = 1.553 rad

Height: ha = 6.999

Height: hb = 3.999

Height: hc = 3.499

Median: ma = 7.246

Median: mb = 5.268

Median: mc = 4.062

Inradius: r = 1.473

Circumradius: R = 4.001

Vertex coordinates: A[8; 0] B[0; 0] C[1.938; 3.499]

Centroid: CG[3.313; 1.166]

Coordinates of the circumscribed circle: U[4; 0.071]

Coordinates of the inscribed circle: I[2.5; 1.473]

Exterior (or external, outer) angles of the triangle:

∠ A' = α' = 150.005° = 150°19″ = 0.524 rad

∠ B' = β' = 118.972° = 118°58'18″ = 1.065 rad

∠ C' = γ' = 91.023° = 91°1'23″ = 1.553 rad

Write an equation passing through the point and perpendicular to the given line: (-3,5);y = 3/4x-4
balandron [24]

Hey!

So the first thing we realize is that it says that the equation is perpendicular to the line, meaning that the slope of the line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line you are given. Since we are given the slope of this line as 3/4 we can take the negative reciprocal of this to get -(4/3).

Now that we have the slope and a point on the line you can plug those into the equation y = mx + b to find b. The slope of the line is m and the point contains the x and y values.

5 = -(4/3)(-3) + b

5 = 4 + b

1 = b

Since we have the y-intercept and the slope now we can plug that into the slope-intercept form equation to get the equation we need:

y = -(4/3)x + 1
