Answer:
70 yd.
Step-by-step explanation:
The three streets at the intersection form a right triangle.
For a right triangle, the length of the longest side (called hypothenuse) is given by Pythagorean's theorem:
where
x is the length of the 1st side
y is the length of the 2nd side
h is the length of the hypothenuse
Here we want to find the hypothenuse.
We have:
x = 42 yd (length of the 1st side)
y = 56 yd (length of the 2nd side)
Substituting, we find h:
Answer:
D. y = 4x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation that is perpendicular to the line MN should have a slope that when multiplied by the slope of line MN will result to negative one. Therefore,
Therefore,
m₁ × m₂ = -1
Using the 2 coordinates of MN let's find the slope,
(-7, 6)(5, 3)
Therefore,
m₁ = 3 - 6 / 5 - (-7) = -3 / 12 = - 1 / 4
The equation that represent a line perpendicular to the line MN is
y = 4x - 6 because the slope slope(m₂) is 4.
From our formula,
4 × - 1 / 4 = - 1
So, option D meets the requirement.
Answer: w = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown number be w , then
the product of w and 3 = 3w
Nine less than the product of 3 and the number = 3w - 9
completing the equation , we have
3w - 9 = 4
add 9 to both sides
3w = 13
w = 13/3
w = 4
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
If the value of x varies directly as the value of y we can say they are directly proportional. This implies that when y increases x will increase too, and when y decreases x will also decrease.
If x=16 when y=3/4 we can write their relation as:
x/y = 16/(3/4) = 16*(4/3) = 64/3
So, for every value of y, the ratio x/y must maintain equal to 64/3 because both values are proportional.
Now we can see what happens to x when y varies. If y=3/8:
x/(3/8) = 64/3
Multiply both sides by 3/8 to eliminate the 3/8 in the denominator.
x/(3/8) * (3/8) = (64/3) * (3/8)
See that we have a 3 multiplying and another dividing, we can eliminate them.
x = 64/8
x = 8
So, if y decreases to 3/8 x will decrease to 8. Notice that y is decreasing in a half as 3/8 is the half of 3/4, and x is also decreasing in a half from 16 to 8, what makes sense.
