You would do 1/4 and get the answer plus 3/8s answer
Answer:
for two lines to be perpendicular m2 = -1/m2
using the formula y= mx+c
m1 = 0
for the lines to be perpendicular to each other(m2 = -1/0 )
Note: -1/0 is undefined
using the formula y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y -6 = -1/0(x-2)
cross multiply
0 = -1(x-2)
0 = -x+2
x =2(equation of the line)
We are given that the shorter piece is x
From your description, the longer piece is 2x + 2
The total length is
x + 2x + 2 = 14
ie
3x + 2 = 14
3x = 12
x = 4
So the length of the shorter piece is 4 ft
Therefore the length of the longer piece must be
(14 - 4) ft = 10 ft
Your answer is 6/25 or 0.24
<span>Simplify
0.6n = 84
Solve
By:
Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '0.6'.
n = 140
