Answer:

A vertical line has an infinite or undefined slope since the denominator is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines by definition refers to lines that never intersect or meet since they have identical slopes. The slope of line is defined as;

(change in y)/(change in x)

For a vertical line, the y values are changing while the x values remain constant. The slope of this line will thus have a zero value in the denominator implying that its slope will not defined or will be infinity.

Suppose you have one pyramid with a base that is 10 meters long and 10 meters wide with a slant that is 15 meters. Now, if the l
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The difference between area of pyramids is 125 sq.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of base = 10m

Breadth of base = 10 m

Slant height = 15 m

Area of pyramid = Area of 5 bases

Area of pyramid = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 15+\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 15+\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 15+\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 15+10 \times 10

Area of pyramid = 400 sq.m.

Now the length of base is increased to 15

Length of base = 15m

Breadth of base = 10 m

Slant height = 15 m

Area of pyramid = Area of 5 bases

Area of pyramid =\frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times 15+\frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times 15+\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 15+\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 15+10 \times 10

Area of new pyramid = 525 sq.m.

Difference between area of pyramids=525 sq.m. - 400 sq.,. = 125 sq.m.

Hence The difference between area of pyramids is 125 sq.m.

Jan buys 12 pens for 10$. Each pen costs the same amount of money. Write a proportion to find the number of pens Jan can buy $15
raketka [301]
You can write the proportion as 2 equal fractions or as two equal ratios.
\frac{12}{10} = \frac{x}{15}   or   12 pens:$10 = x pens:$15

You can buy x pens for 15 dollars. One way to find x is by cross multiplying the fractions.

10x=12×15
10x=180
-----  -----
10    10 
x=18

You can buy 18 pens for $15.
