Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

base is x

one of the legs measure 4x-6

therefore, perimeter is equal to

2 (4x - 6) + x = 96

8x - 12 + x = 96

9x = 96 + 12

9x = 108

x = 108/9 = 12 units

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment with the endpoints (8,10) and ( -4,2).
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The required equation is:

y = -\frac{3}{2}x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line, the slope and y-intercept is required.

The slope can be found by finding the slope of given line segment. A the perpendicular bisector of a line is perpendicular to the given line, the product of their slopes will be -1 and it will pass through the mid-point of given line segment.

Given points are:

(x_1,y_1) = (8,10)\\(x_2,y_2) = (-4,2)

We will find the slope of given line segment first

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\= \frac{2-10}{-4-8}\\=\frac{-8}{-12}\\=\frac{2}{3}

Let m_1 be the slope of perpendicular bisector then,

m.m_1 = -1\\\frac{2}{3}.m_1 = -1\\m_1 = \frac{-3}{2}

Now the mid-point

(x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\\= (\frac{8-4}{2} , \frac{10+2}{2})\\=(\frac{4}{2}, \frac{12}{2})\\=(2,6)

We have to find equation of a line with slope -3/2 passing through (2,6)

The equation of line in slope-intercept form is given by:

y = m_1x+b

Putting the value of slope

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

Putting the point (2,6) to find the y-intercept

6 = -\frac{3}{2}(2)+b\\6 = -3+b\\b = 6+3 =9

The equation is:

y = -\frac{3}{2}x+9

If the lines a and b in the diagram below are parallelm why do angles 2 and 6 measure 60 degree angles
Bas_tet [7]
Angles 2 and 6 are corresponding angles, which would explain why they are congruent if lines a and b are parallel, but there is nothing in the problem to explain that any of the angles equals 60 degrees since no measurements were given in the diagram.

Find the area of the circle <br><br> r = 6 ft
Andru [333]

If the radius of the circle is 6 feet. Then the area of the circle will be 113.097 square feet.

<h3>What is a circle?</h3>

It is the centre of an equidistant point drawn from the centre. The radius of a circle is the distance between the centre and the circumference.

The radius of the circle is 6 feet.

Then the area of the circle will be

Area = πr²

where r is the radius of the circle. Then we have

Area = π × 6²

Area = 36π

Area = 113.097 square feet

More about the circle link is given below.
