Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To define the perpendicular line we need to first know the slope of the reference line graphed.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) we have points (0,5) and (2,1)
m=(1-5)/(2-0)
m=-4/2
m=-2
For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must satisfy
m1m2=-1, we have a line with a slope of -2 so
-2m=-1
m=1/2, so our perpendicular line is so far
y=x/2+b, it must have point (3,2) so we can solve for b
2=3/2+b
b=1/2, so the swimmer will travel along the line
y=x/2+1/2

Step-by-step explanation:
In a right triangle the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse is the geometric mean of the segments at which this altitude divides the hypotenuse.
So,

a. The area of the triangle ABC is

b. The legs of the right triangle are geometric means of the segment adjacent to this leg and the hypotenuse, so

Answer:
x/y = 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4/5 = 8/10, so ...
x/y = (3/10)/(8/10) = 3/8

One way to divide fractions is to make them have the same denominator. Then their ratio is the ratio of their numerators.
