They could at least make 4 15 inches of chains
Answer:
The value of the side PS is 26 approx.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question we have two right triangles. Triangle PQR and Triangle PQS.
Where S is some point on the line segment QR.
Given:
PR = 20
SR = 11
QS = 5
We know that QR = QS + SR
QR = 11 + 5
QR = 16
Now triangle PQR has one unknown side PQ which in its base.
Finding PQ:
Using Pythagoras theorem for the right angled triangle PQR.
PR² = PQ² + QR²
PQ = √(PR² - QR²)
PQ = √(20²+16²)
PQ = √656
PQ = 4√41
Now for right angled triangle PQS, PS is unknown which is actually the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.
Finding PS:
Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:
PS² = PQ² + QS²
PS² = 656 + 25
PS² = 681
PS = 26.09
PS = 26
First find the slope
the slope of the line that passes through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(-4,3) and (6,-2)
the slope is (-2-3)/(6-(-4))=(-5)/(6+4)=-5/10=-1/2
so
the equation of a line tat passes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
use (-4,3)
and we found slope=-1/2
y-3=-1/2(x-(-4))
y-3=-1/2(x+4)
if yo want slope intercept form
y-3=-1/2x-2
y=-1/2x+1
if yo want standard form
1/2x+y=1
x+2y=2
