A = (1/2)(x)(y)
Let x = diagonal 1
Let y = diagonal 2
The product of xy = 144.
This means that x = 12 and y = 12.
So, 12 • 12 = 144
Each diagonal is 12 feet.
Prove:
72 feet = (1/2)(12)(12) feet
72 feet = (1/2)(144) feet
72 feet = 72 feet
Here is the equation you should use.
2(x+7) = -36
The normal vector to the plane <em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> + <em>z</em> = 5 is <em>n</em> = (1, 3, 1). The line we want is parallel to this normal vector.
Scale this normal vector by any real number <em>t</em> to get the equation of the line through the point (1, 3, 1) and the origin, then translate it by the vector (1, 0, 6) to get the equation of the line we want:
(1, 0, 6) + (1, 3, 1)<em>t</em> = (1 + <em>t</em>, 3<em>t</em>, 6 + <em>t</em>)
This is the vector equation; getting the parametric form is just a matter of delineating
<em>x</em>(<em>t</em>) = 1 + <em>t</em>
<em>y</em>(<em>t</em>) = 3<em>t</em>
<em>z</em>(<em>t</em>) = 6 + <em>t</em>
