It has been proven that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.
<h3>How to prove a Line Segment?</h3>
We know that in a triangle if one angle is 90 degrees, then the other angles have to be acute.
Let us take a line l and from point P as shown in the attached file, that is, not on line l, draw two line segments PN and PM. Let PN be perpendicular to line l and PM is drawn at some other angle.
In ΔPNM, ∠N = 90°
∠P + ∠N + ∠M = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)
∠P + ∠M = 90°
Clearly, ∠M is an acute angle.
Thus; ∠M < ∠N
PN < PM (The side opposite to the smaller angle is smaller)
Similarly, by drawing different line segments from P to l, it can be proved that PN is smaller in comparison to all of them. Therefore, it can be observed that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.

Answer:
3 values
Step-by-step explanation:
2x +8 <22 and 3x >9
Solve the two inequalities separately and then put them back together
2x +8 <22
Subtract 8 from each side
2x +8-8 <22 -8
2x < 14
Divide by 2
2x/2 < 14/2
x < 7
Then solve the second inequality
3x>9
Divide by 3
3x/3>9/3
x >3
Putting them back together
x>3 and x < 7
Since it has to be an integer
4,5,6 are possible choices

Answer:
Therefore,
Wind speed of a Tornado when it travels 4 miles is 121.0 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The wind speed near the center of a tornado is represented by the equation,
Where,
d = the distance, in miles
S = the wind speed, in miles per hour.
To Find:
S = ? at d = 4 miles
Solution:
We have
.........Given
Substitute d = 4 in above equation we get,
Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth we have
Therefore,
Wind speed of a Tornado when it travels 4 miles is 121.0 miles per hour.
First of all, the first power of 'x' is the highest power in the whole equation,
so we only expect one solution.
You said that <span><u>3x+9 = 21+7x </u>
Subtract 3x from each side:
9 = 21 + 4x
Subtract 21 from each side:
-12 = 4x
Divide each side by 4 :
<u>-3 = x </u>
