Answer:
y = -1/2x +11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
slope finding: -5+6/1-3 = -1/2
equation making: y+5 = -1/2(x-1)
rearranging: y = -1/2x +11/2
2y+x=4y+3 (hypotenuse)
x=2y+3 (1st equation)
x+y=x+4 (leg)
y=4 (2nd equation)
plugging 2nd into 1st equation,
x=11
so x=11, y=4
The diagonal is equal to the hypotenuse of a right triangle having sides of length x and y. Here we are told that the width is 6 meters and the hypotenuse is 9 meters. So by the Pythagorean Theorem:
h^2=x^2+y^2 so we have:
6^2+L^2=9^2
36+L^2=81
L^2=81-36
L^2=45
L=√45
L=√(3*3*5)
L=3√5 meters
I think the answer is m=13 or -11
