The position of an open-water swimmer is shown in the graph. The shortest route to the shoreline is one that is perpendicular to

Stolb23 [73]

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

Answer:

Area $=62.5\sqrt{6}$ square units

$AB=5\sqrt{15}$ units

$BC=5\sqrt{10}$ units

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,

$BD^2=15\cdot 10\\ \\BD^2=150\\ \\BD=\sqrt{150}=5\sqrt{6}\ units$

a. The area of the triangle ABC is

$A_{ABC}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot BD\cdot AC=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 5\sqrt{6}\cdot (15+10)=\dfrac{125\sqrt{6}}{2}=62.5\sqrt{6}\ un^2.$

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

$AB^2=AD\cdot AC=15\cdot 25\Rightarrow AB=5\sqrt{15}\ units\\ \\BC^2=CD\cdot AC=10\cdot 25\Rightarrow BC=5\sqrt{10}\ units$

Evaluate x/y for x equals 3/10 and y equals 4/5

Over [174]

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.
