To solve this problem we need to know the equivalence between yards and inches, that is:
1 yd = 36 inches
Therefore in 8 yd we have:
8(36) = 288
so in 8 yd we have 288 inches
So 8 yd is equal to 288 in

Divide both sides by
to get


Substitute
, so that
. Then



The remaining ODE is separable. Separating the variables gives

Integrate both sides. On the left, split up the integrand into partial fractions.




Then

On the right, we have

Solving for
explicitly is unlikely to succeed, so we leave the solution in implicit form,

and finally solve in terms of
by replacing
:



Perpendicular line has slope that multiplies to -1
paralel line has same slope
y=mx+b
slope=-7/4
perpendicular
4/7
(-7,-2)
-2=4/7(-7)+b
-2=-4+b
add 4 both sides
2=b
y=4/7x+2
paralel
y=-7/4x+b
-2=-7/4(-7)+b
-2=49/4+b
minus 49/4 from both sides (-2=-8/4)
-57/4=b
y=-7/4x-14.25
perpendicular
y=4/7x+2
paralel
y=-7/4x-14.25
Answer:
A ≈ 5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of the triangle is calculated as
A =
× PQ × PR × sin P
= 0.5 × 5.2 × 2.8 × sin50°
≈ 5.6 ( to 1 dec. place )
