You can solve this since you can develop 3 equations for your 3 unknowns. Each equation is made using the Pythagorean theorem:

1) x^2 = y^2 + 16^2
2) z^2 = y^2 + 4^2
3) (16 + 4)^2 = z^2 + x^2

Simplifying the above we get:

1) x^2 = y^2 + 256
2) z^2 = y^2 + 16
3) 400 = z^2 + x^2

We want to solve for z. There are several ways but an easy one is with substitution. Start by rearranging 2) and 3) like this:

2’) y^2 = z^2 - 16
3’) x^2 = 400 - z^2

Now we have expressed x and y in terms of z. Plug these values into the unused equation, 1), to solve for z:

1’) 400 - z^2 = z^2 - 16 + 256
2z^2 = 160
z^2 = 80
z = √80
z = √(16)(5)
z = 4√5

Write the slope-intercept form of an equation that passes
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

y = \frac{4}{3}x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

As the line is perpendicular to y=-\frac{3}{4} x + 2, we know that the slope of the line is \frac{4}{3}. As it passes through (3, - 1), we know that it should be y = \frac{4}{3}x-5.

Ratio becomes:

Width : Length

4 : 6

Total units = 4 + 6 = 10
