Answer:

m = - 1, k = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the point of intersection (2, 8 ) satisfy both equations.

Substitute x = 2, y = 8 into the equations and solve for m and k

(m - 2)x + y = 2

2(m - 2) + 8 = 2

2m - 4 + 8 = 2

2m + 4 = 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

2m = - 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

m = - 1

and

mx + 2y = k

- 1(2) + 2(8) = k

- 2 + 16 = k

14 = k

Then m = - 1 and k = 14

The bar of the square pyramid shown has and area of 576 units. If the slant height of the pyramid is 29 units, what is the heigh

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

$\sqrt{697}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the base of the square pyramid has an area of 576 units, then the side length must have a length of $\sqrt{576}=24$ . 24/2=12, and using the pythagorean theorem you can find that the height of the pyramid is $\sqrt{29^2-12^2}=\sqrt{697}$ . Hope this helps!
