Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There is not enough information to solve for x.
All we know is that the lines are parallel so the two inner angles will have the same angle measure.
And the angle measures are probably 90 degrees if the transversal (the line cutting through the two parallel lines) is perpendicular to the parallel lines
I hope this helps.
Note that c is the hypotenuse of the blue triangle, and that the Pyth. Thm. states that (length of one leg)^2 + (length of the other leg)^2 = (hyp)^2.
Therefore, (hyp)^2 = c^2 = [2sqrt(x^2+3x)]^2 + 3^2, or
= 4(x^2+3x) + 9, or
= 4x^2 + 12x + 9 = (2x+3)^2
Taking the sqrt of both sides, c = plus or minus (2x+3). Eliminate -(2x+3) because the middle term of the square of this would be negative, in conflict with the given +12x.
c=2x+3 is the correct answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+5y = 20
y = (-8/5)x + 4
slope of the line is -8/5.
slope of any perpendicular to the line is ⅝.
line of slope ⅝ that passes through P(4,5):
y-5 = ⅝(x-4)
y = ⅝x + 2.5
find intersection of lines
⅝x + 2.5 = (-8/5)x + 4
25x + 100 = -64x + 160
89x = 60
x = 60/89, y = 260/89
distance between (60/89, 260/89) and (4,5) = 3.92
