Answer:
Orion's belt width is 184 light years
Step-by-step explanation:
So we want to find the distance between Alnitak and Mintaka, which is the Orions belts
Let the distance between the Alnitak and Mintaka be x,
Then applying cosine
c²=a²+b²—2•a•b•Cosθ
The triangle is formed by the 736 light-years and 915 light years
Artemis from Alnitak is
a = 736lightyear
Artemis from Mintaka is
b = 915 light year
The angle between Alnitak and Mintaka is θ=3°
Then,
Applying the cosine rule
c²=a²+b²—2•a•b•Cosθ
c² =736² + 915² - 2×, 736×915×Cos3
c² = 541,696 + 837,225 - 1,345,034.1477702404
c² = 33,886.85222975954
c = √33,886.85222975954
c = 184.0838184897 light years
c = 184.08 light years
So, to the nearest light year, Orion's belt width is 184 light years
If they are parallel they will have the same slope , m
So in y = mx + c, if there are two equations which both have the same m value they will be parallel.
If the lines are perpendicular they'll have slopes like this: 1/2 to -2/1 - where they flip and a negative gets added.
In the equations: 10x + 5y = -5 , and y = -2x + 6
We can rearrange 10x + 5y = -5 to be in the form y = mx + c
10x + 5y = -5
5y = -5 - 10x
y = -1 - 2x
y = -2x - 1
Since y = -2x - 1 and y = -2x + 6 both have the same slope of -2 they are parallel!
