[1] The median to the base passes through the top point (0,b) and the bottom point (0,0) since it is going straight down. The slope formula is

So, the slope of the median is (b-0)/(0-0) = b/0. Technically, this is undefined, but let's leave it this way for now.
[2] The base passes through the left point (-a,0) and the right point (a,0). Its slope must be (0-0)/(a-(-a)) = 0.
[3] We now check if the slopes are negative reciprocals. Flipping b/0 over and putting a negative sign gives:
b/0 -> - 0/b = 0
So the slopes are negative reciprocals, which means the lines are perpendicular.
Answer:
7^2 =49
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponents represent a number and how many times you multiply it by itself. So 5^2 is 5*5 or 4^3 is 4*4*4. So 7^2 is 7*7, which is 49!
Answer:
it should be the last answer... 36
Answer:
B. m∠B = 118°, a = 17, c = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer choices all agree on the values of ∠B and c, so we only need to compute the value of side a.
We can verify angle B is ...
∠B = 180° -30° -32° = 118°
By the law of sines, ...
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)
Multiplying by sin(A), we get ...
a = b·sin(A)/sin(B) = 30·sin(30°)/sin(118°) ≈ 16.98855
a ≈ 17.0 . . . units . . . . . matches choice B
__
If you like, you can also verify side c:
c = b·sin(C)/sin(B) = 30·sin(32°)/sin(118°) ≈ 18.00512
c ≈ 18.0 . . . units
The cost of buying salad per pound) is more than or equal to $4.50
Step-by-step explanation:
We know from the problem that the salad is going to cost at least $4.50 per pound. Therefore, it is entirely possible for the cost to exceed $4.50, but it cannot be lower than $4.50 because then it would not be equal to $4.50.
So, there would be a greater-than sign pointing toward the s (which I seemingly cannot depict on here for some reason...)
