Two lines are perpendicular. The slope of one line is -2, What is the slope of the other line?

1 answer:

8 0

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign.
slope = -2, or -2/1....so flip the slope...-1/2...and change the sign...1/2.
so the perpendicular slope would be 1/2.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is √18 units. what are the lengths of the legs of the triangle? How many different answers ca

storchak [24]

Since a right triangle has special rules to it such that the hypotenuse squared equals the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides. In other words, if the hypotenuse = c, and the 2 smaller sides are a and b, then:
${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$
Solving for c (hypotenuse), we get:
$\sqrt{({c}^{2})} = \sqrt{({a}^{2}+{b}^{2} )} \\ c = \sqrt{({a}^{2}+{b}^{2} )}$
Therefore c is the root of the square of the other sides. So by having root18, it's like saying:
$\sqrt{18} = \sqrt{({a}^{2} + {b}^{2} )} \\ 18 = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$
Getting rid of the square root, so sides a and b must have their squares total 18:
the only squares < 18 are: 16 (4×4), 9 (3×3), 4 (2×2), and 1 (1×1)
of those above added in any order of two of them, only 16+4
$18 = 17 + 1 - - > \sqrt{17} \: and \: 1 \\ 18 = 16 + 2 - - > \sqrt{16} \: and \: \sqrt{2} \\ ... \: 4 \: and \: \sqrt{2} \\ 18 = 15 + 3 - - > \sqrt{15} \: and \: \sqrt{3}$
$18 = 14 + 4 - - > \sqrt{14} \: and \: \sqrt{4} \\ ... \sqrt{14} \: and \: 2 \\ 18 = 13 + 5 - - > \sqrt{13} \: and \: \sqrt{5} \\ 18 = 12+ 6 - - > \sqrt{12} \: and \: \sqrt{6}$
$18 = 11 + 7 - - > \sqrt{11} \: and \: \sqrt{7} \\ 18 = 10 + 8 - - > \sqrt{10} \: and \: \sqrt{8} \\ ... \sqrt{10} \: and \: 2 \sqrt{2} \\ 18 = 9 + 9 - - > \sqrt{9} = 3 \: and \: 3$
I HOPE THAT IS ALONG THE LINE THAT WAS ASKED FOR!!! :-D

An angle whose measure is _____ is rotated more than halfway around a circle

zaharov [31]

The correct answer is 60⁰.

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle whose measure is 60⁰ is rotated more than halfway around a circle.
Since, we have to find the measure of angle.
As we already know that the angle of rotation about a circle is 360° therefore we have to find more than halfway of this angle.

Considering that an angle is rotated more than halfway around a circle be $\frac{1}{6}$

Multiplying $\frac{1}{6}$ with 360⁰
Therefore, it can show as $\frac{1}{6}$ ×360⁰
Which gives the result to be 60⁰
Hence, when an angle is measured 60⁰, it is rotating more than halfway around a circle.
A single rotation around a circle is equal to 360 degrees.
The measurement of an angle shows the magnitude and direction of the rotation of the angle from its initial position to the final position.
If the rotation is in a counterclockwise direction, it has an angle with positive measure. If the rotation is clockwise, it has an angle which gives negative measure.
