1 answer:

8 0

Y - 2x = 8 . . . . (1)
16 + 4x = 2y . . (2)

From (1), y = 2x + 8 . . . (3)

Putting (3) into (2) gives
16 + 4x = 2(2x + 8) = 4x + 16
0 = 0

Therefore, there are infinite number of solutions.

21. For the following exercises, use the descriptions of each pair of lines given below to find the slopes of Line 1 and Line 2.

Answer:

The given lines are perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, two lines are given as line 1 passes through (1,7) and (5,5). Whereas, line 2 passes through (-1,-3) and (1,1).

It is required to find the slope of given lines and figure out whether they are perpendicular, parallel or neither.

To solve this question, first find the slope of both lines. Check if their product is equal to -1, then they are perpendicular. If the slopes are equal the lines are parallel.

Step 1 of 2

Find the slope of first line.

$\begin{aligned}m_{1} &=\frac{5-7}{5-1} \\m_{1} &=\frac{-2}{4} \\m_{1} &=-\frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}$

Step 2 of 2

Find the slope of first line.

$\begin{aligned}&m_{2}=\frac{1-(-3)}{1-(-1)} \\&m_{2}=\frac{4}{2} \\&m_{2}=2\end{aligned}$

And

$\begin{aligned}&m_{1} m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2}(2) \\&m_{1} m_{2}=-1\end{aligned}$

Since, both slopes are reciprocal of each other.

Therefore, the lines are perpendicular.

Find the island height of a pyramid with a volume of 432 ft^3 if the base is a square with a side length of 12 ft. Round to the

dmitriy555 [2]

So the picture below shows what the slant height is. It also shows that the pyramid can form a right triangle, in which we can use the pythagorean theorem, which is $leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2$ .

But first, we have to find the height of this pyramid. The volume formula for a square pyramid is $A=\frac{lwh}{3}$ . Since we know its a square pyramid, the length and width are going to be the same (12 ft), and we know that the volume is 432 ft^3. Using this info, we can solve for the height:

$432=\frac{12*12*h}{3}\\ 1296=12*12*h\\ 1296=144*h\\ 9=h$

So now we can use the pythagorean theorem (remember to split the 12 by 2, since the right triangle has only half the length of the base). Our equation will be solved as such:

$6^2+9^2=s^2\\ 36+81=s^2\\ 117=s^2\\ 10.8=s$
