Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-axis and any lines that are parallel to it are vertical. Therefore, a line that would be perpendicular to the y-axis would need to be horizontal. All horizontal lines have a slope equal to 0 and are represented by the equation y = a constant, or a single number with no variables.

The only option that follows that format is y = 5, thus that is the answer.

Each leg of a 45-45-90 triangle has a length of 6 units. What is the length of its hypotenuse?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Use the Pythagorean theorem:
$(\hbox{one leg})^2+(\hbox{the other leg})^2=(\hbox{hypotenuse})^2 \\
6^2+6^2=x^2 \\
6^2 \times 2=x^2 \\
\sqrt{6^2 \times 2}=x \\ \sqrt{6^2} \times \sqrt{2}=x \\ 6\sqrt{2}=x
$

The length of the hypotenuse is 6√2 units.

cluponka [151]

The picture shows how this would look as a triangle.
In this case, we would use tan. x is the opposite side, and 80 is adjacent.
tan(85.7) = x/80
13.299.. = x/80
x = 1,064 feet
