X - 3y +3=0

Answer:

We know that for a line:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Any line with a slope equal to -(1/a) will be perpendicular to the one above.

So here we start with the line:

3x + 4y + 5 = 0

let's rewrite this as:

4y = -3x - 5

y = -(3/4)*x - (5/4)

So a line perpendicular to this one, has a slope equal to:

- (-4/3) = (4/3)

So the perpendicular line will be something like:

y = (4/3)*x + c

We know that this line passes through the point (a, 3)

this means that, when x = a, y must be equal to 3.

Replacing these in the above line equation, we get:

3 = (4/3)*a + c

c = 3 - (4/3)*a

Then the equation for our line is:

y = (4/3)*x + 3 - (4/3)*a

We can rewrite this as:

y = (4/3)*(x -a) + 3

now we need to find the point where this line ( y = -(3/4)*x - (5/4)) and the original line intersect.

We can find this by solving:

(4/3)*(x -a) + 3 =  y = -(3/4)*x - (5/4)

(4/3)*(x -a) + 3  = -(3/4)*x - (5/4)

(4/3)*x - (3/4)*x = -(4/3)*a - 3 - (5/4)

(16/12)*x - (9/12)*x = -(4/3)*a - 12/4 - 5/4

(7/12)*x = -(4/13)*a - 17/4

x = (-(4/13)*a - 17/4)*(12/7) = - (48/91)*a - 51/7

And the y-value is given by inputin this in any of the two lines, for example with the first one we get:

y =  -(3/4)*(- (48/91)*a - 51/7) - (5/4)

  = (36/91)*a + (153/28) - 5/4

Then the intersection point is:

( - (48/91)*a - 51/7,  (36/91)*a + (153/28) - 5/4)

And we want that the distance between this point, and our original point (3, a) to be equal to 4.

Remember that the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is:

distance = √( (a - c)^2 + (b - d)^2)

So here, the distance between (a, 3) and ( - (48/91)*a - 51/7,  (36/91)*a + (153/28) - 5/4) is 4

4 = √( (a + (48/91)*a + 51/7)^2 + (3 -  (36/91)*a + (153/28) - 5/4 )^2)

If we square both sides, we get:

4^2 = 16 =  (a + (48/91)*a + 51/7)^2 + (3 -  (36/91)*a - (153/28) + 5/4 )^2)

Now we need to solve this for a.

16 = (a*(1 + 48/91)  + 51/7)^2 + ( -(36/91)*a  + 3 - 5/4 + (153/28) )^2

16 = ( a*(139/91) + 51/7)^2 + ( -(36/91)*a  - (43/28) )^2

16 = a^2*(139/91)^2 + 2*a*(139/91)*51/7 + (51/7)^2 +  a^2*(36/91)^2 + 2*(36/91)*a*(43/28) + (43/28)^2

16 = a^2*( (139/91)^2 + (36/91)^2) + a*( 2*(139/91)*51/7 + 2*(36/91)*(43/28)) +  (51/7)^2 + (43/28)^2

At this point we can see that this is really messy, so let's start solving these fractions.

16 = (2.49)*a^2 + a*(23.47) + 55.44

0 = (2.49)*a^2 + a*(23.47) + 55.44 - 16

0 = (2.49)*a^2 + a*(23.47) + 39.44

Now we can use the Bhaskara's formula for quadratic equations, the two solutions will be:

a = \frac{-23.47  \pm  \sqrt{23.47^2 - 4*2.49*39.4}  }{2*2.49} \\\\a =  \frac{-23.47  \pm  12.57 }{4.98}

Then the two possible values of a are:

a = (-23.47 + 12.57)/4.98  = -2.19

a = (-23.47 - 12.57)/4.98 = -7.23

An 8 foot long piece of 2 by 4 wood is used to prop up a fence if the 2 by 4 makes 30 degree angle with the ground how high abov
dybincka [34]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

H (height the 2x4 contact the fence)

sin 30° = H / 8

1 /2 = H / 8

H = 1/2 * 8 = 4

How do you write an exact angle measure without approximating to a decimal value?
dimulka [17.4K]

an exact angle measure without approximating to a decimal value is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since an angle of 2 has degree measure 360° it follows that an angle of 1 radian has degree measure (180/ )°. Likewise, an angle of size 1° has radian measure /180. We now can easily obtain a formula to convert from degrees to radians and vice-versa. To convert from degrees to radians, multiply the angle by /180.

convert decimal degrees to DMS :

  • For the degrees use the whole number part of the decimal.
  • For the minutes multiply the remaining decimal by 60. Use the whole number part of the answer as minutes.
  • For the seconds multiply the new remaining decimal by 60.
