The perpendicular line will have a slope of b/a.
To find this, we first have to solve our equation for slope intercept form.
ax + by = c ----> subtract ax
by = -ax + c ----> divide by b
y = -a/bx + c/b.
So we know the slope of this equation to be -a/b. Since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes, we know we can simply flip the fraction and make it a negative to get the new slope of b/a.
We can ise Pythagorean triplet which is ( 12 , 16 , 20 )
Therefore the answer is 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Or we can use Pythagoras theorem , stated as ;
( hyp )^2 = ( adj )^2 + ( opp )^2
hyp ( hypotenuse ) = 20
We can assume the adj ( adjacent ) = 12
By substituting the values ,
20^2 = 12^2 + ( adj )^2
400 = 144 + ( adj )^2
400 - 144 = ( adj )^2
256 = ( adj )^2
Take the square root of both sides
✓256 = adj
16 = adj
Therefore the length of the other leg which is the adjacent( adj ) side is 16.
Answer:
A stem and leaf plot shouldn't be used because the numbers are more than two digits long. These numbers are more varied, so it isn't correct for a stem and leaf plot. The stem is usually the tens digit, and the leaf is the ones digit. When you have four digits, it would get infinite times more hard and complicated. Hope that helped!
In this right triangle, you are given the measurements for the hypotenuse, c, and one leg, b. The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle and it is always the longest side of the triangle. To find the length of leg a, substitute the known values into the Pythagorean Theorem. Solve for a2.
Hope this helps!
