Place the right angle at the origin. Short leg on x-axis.
The forth corner of the square is the point on the hypotenuse where the line y = x intersects. (Draw a diagram!)
In this case the hypotenuse is y = -4x/3 + 8
x = -4x/3 + 8
7x/3 = 8
7x = 24
x = 3.428571429
Answer:
y=8x-69
Step-by-step explanation:
you would use the equation y-y1 = m (x - x1)
plug in m = 8 , y1 = 3, x1 = 9
now you have y - 3 = 8 (x-9)
distribute 8 --> y-3 = 8x - 72
add three to both sides to get y = 8x - 69
Area = bh/2
(9.9 x 5.5)÷2 = 27.225 ft^2
