The perpendicular line would have a slope of 1/3.

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes.

To do the opposite, take the original slope (-3) and change the sign (3).

To do the reciprocal, take the slope we changed (3) and flip it as a fraction (1/3).

This gives us a new slope of 1/3.

For the given triangle, the value of x equals 30.9892 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In the triangle, the angle is 40°, the opposite side has a length of 26 units, the adjacent side has a length of x units while the hypotenuse is not given.

To determine the value of x, we determine the value of the tan of the given triangle.

To calculate the tan of angle A we divide the opposite side's length by the the adjacent side's length.

$tan A = \frac{oppositeside}{adjacent side}.$

Step 2:

The length of the opposite side = 26 units.

The length of the adjacent side = x units.

$tan A = \frac{oppositeside}{adjacent side}, tan 40 = 0.8390, tan A = \frac{26}{x} .$

$0.8390 = \frac{26}{x} , x = \frac{26}{0.8390} = 30.9892.$

So x measures 30.9892 units.
