Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of the given line, slope is the rise divided by the run of a line.
Slope =
Picking points (4, 18) and (8, 12)
Now;
x₁ = 4
y₁ = 18
x₂ = 8
y₂ = 12
Slope = =
=
Answer:
7 1/17
Step-by-step explanation:
A figure can be helpful.
The inscribed semicircle has its center at the midpoint of th base. It is tangent to the side of the isosceles triangle, so a radius makes a 90° angle there.
The long side of the isosceles triangle can be found from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
BC² = BD² +CD²
BC² = 8² +15² = 289
BC = √289 = 17
The radius mentioned (DE) creates right triangles that are similar to ∆BCD. In particular, we have ...
(long side)/(hypotenuse) = DE/BD = CD/BC
DE = BD·CD/BC = 8·15/17
DE = 7 1/17 ≈ 7.059
