Answer:

2\sqrt {2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance From a Point to a Line</u>

Given a line with an equation :

ax + by + c = 0

And the point (x_0,y_0)

The distance from the line to the point is given by

\displaystyle d=\frac {|ax_{0}+by_{0}+c|}{\sqrt {a^{2}+b^{2}}}

The triangle has a vertex at (1,-2) and the base lies on the equation

x + y = 3

Rearranging:

x + y - 3 = 0

The altitude of the triangle is the distance from the point to the line.

The values to use in the formula of the distance are: a=1, b=1, c=-3, xo=1, yo=-2:

\displaystyle d=\frac {|1*1+1*(-2)-3|}{\sqrt {1^{2}+1^{2}}}

\displaystyle d=\frac {|1-2-3|}{\sqrt {2}}

\displaystyle d=\frac {4}{\sqrt {2}}

Rationalizing:

\displaystyle d=\frac {4}{\sqrt {2}}\cdot\frac{\sqrt {2}}{\sqrt {2}}

\displaystyle d=2\sqrt {2}

The altitude of the triangle is \mathbf{4\sqrt {2}}

Which expressions are equivalent to 1 divided m/6? Check all that apply
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

option A, option C, option D

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 1 ÷ m/6

can be written as

\frac{1}{1}÷ \frac{m}{6}

b) sides in (m/6) will change if both has to multiply

c) 1 ÷ m/6

can be written as

1 * 6/m

1(\frac{6}{m}) and wont make change to answer. so matches with the question.

d)

1 ÷ m/6

1 * 6/m

1 * 6 * \frac{1}{m}

6 * \frac{1}{m}

6 ÷ m ..therefore true

e)

1 ÷ m/6

1 * 6/m

6/m    ....does not match or can be converted to the following so wrong

  • Therefore A, C, D are correct and B and E is wrong.

X(1+y)=z solve for x
dem82 [27]
<span>X(1+y)=z
Multiply x by 1 and y
x + xy=z
Divide y on both sides
x + x = z/y
Add x to x
2x = z/y
Divide 2 on both sides
Final Answer: x= z/y/2  
Word Form: x equals z divided by y all over two.
