Answer:

The area of the large sail of the sailboat is 144 feet²  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The measure height of the large sail = 24 feet

The measure of base of the sail = 12 feet

The area of the sail = A feet²

Now, <u>Since The sail of the sailboat is in the form of right angle triangle</u>

So, From The area right angle triangle

Area of right angle Triangle =  \frac{1}{2} × height × base

Area = \frac{1}{2} × height of the sail × base of sail

Or, A = \frac{1}{2} × 24 × 12

Or , A = \frac{288}{2}

∴  A = 144 feet²

So, the area of sail = 144 feet²

Hence The area of the large sail of the sailboat is 144 feet²  . Answer

Write a vector equation of the line that passes through point P(-4,11) and is parallel to a=[-3,8]. Then write parametric equati
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

\vec l = (-4, 11) + t\cdot (-3,8), x = -4 - 3\cdot t and y = 11 + 8\cdot t

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector equation of the line is:

\vec l = \vec P + t \cdot \vec A

\vec l = (-4, 11) + t\cdot (-3,8)

The parametric equations of the line are:

x = -4 - 3\cdot t and y = 11 + 8\cdot t

Divide the whole thing by 2
2(X^2+8x-5)
X^2+8x. =5
Half of 8 is 4 sq it so you add 16
X^2+8x+16= 5+16
(X+4)^2=21
