Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

cos = adj/hyp

cos76 = adj/24

multiply both sides by 24

Write an equation in slope intercept form that passes through -2, 3 and Is parallel to the line with equation 3X +2y=6
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The equation of line is:  y=-\frac{3}{2}x as the y-intercept is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(-2,3)

Equation of line => 3x+2y=6

Converting the equation in slope intercept form

3x+2y=6\\2y=-3x+6\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\frac{2y}{2}=-\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{6}{2}\\y=-\frac{3}{2}x+3

The co-efiicient of x is the slope of the fiven line

So,

m=-3/2

The line parallel to given line will have the same slope as slopes of two parallel lines are equal

Now,

Slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Putting the value of slope

y=-\frac{3}{2}x+b

to find the value of b, put (-2,3) in the equation

3=-\frac{3}{2}(-2)+b\\3=3+b\\b=0\\

Putting the value of b and m

y=-\frac{3}{2}x+0\\y=-\frac{3}{2}x

Hence,

The equation of line is:  y=-\frac{3}{2}x as the y-intercept is zero

First you figure out that the ratio 7:4 is 1.75
Then you do this problem 28 divided by 1.75=16
And 28:16 is the same as 7:4 
Now all you do is add 28+16=44
