Let's start by assigning variables for each of the numbers. Let the first one be x, the second one be y.

x + y = 36

x = 3y - 4

Now we solve using substitution.

3y - 4 + y = 36

This simplifies into:

4y = 32

y = 8.

Now we need to solve for x.

36 - 8 = 28 (because x + y = 36)

x = 28

Answer:

Radius = incenter → peprpendicular to one side of the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Bisect one of the angles
  2. Bisect another angle
  3. Where those two lines cross is the center of the inscribed circle, called the incenter
  4. Construct a perpendicular from the center point to one side of the triangle
  5. Place compass on the center point, adjust its length to where the perpendicular crosses the triangle, and draw your inscribed circle!

Last question for the day.. can anyone help wit #14 and either #10-13
masha68 [24]
10. (5,8)(-3,7)
      slope = (7 - 8) / (-3 - 5) = -1 / -8 = 1/8

11. (5,-2)(3,-2)...since both y values are the same, this line is a horizontal line with a 0 slope.

12. (-4,7)(8,-1)
      slope = (-1 - 7) / (8 - (-4) = -8 / (8 + 4) = -8/12 = - 2/3

13. (6,-3)(6,4)....since both x values are the same, this line is a vertical line with a slope that is undefined
