12 miles, Because using the Pythagorean theorem, A squared plus B squared = C squared. So 14 squared +48 squared equals 2500. The square root of 2500 is 50, so the total of 14+48 is 62-50 is 12 miles shorter

Answer:

The area of the shaded figure is:

20 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the area of the shaded figure, first, you must calculate this as a rectangle, with the measurements: wide (4 units), and long (6 units):

Area of a rectangle = long * wide
Area of a rectangle = 6 * 4
Area of a rectangle = 24 units^2

How the figure isn't a rectangle, you must subtract the triangle on the top, so, now we calculate the area of that triangle with measurements: wide (4 units), and height (2 units):

Area of a triangle = $\frac{wide*height}{2}$
Area of a triangle = $\frac{4*2}{2}$
Area of a triangle = $\frac{8}{2}$
Area of a triangle = 4 units^2

In the end, you subtract the area of the triangle to the area of the rectangle, to obtain the area of the shaded figure:

Area of the shaded figure = Area of the rectangle - Area of the triangle
Area of the shaded figure = 24 units^2 - 4 units^2
Area of the shaded figure = 20 units^2

I use the name "units" because the exercise doesn't say if they are feet, inches, or another, but you can replace this in case you need it.

Show that every triangle formed by the coordinate axes and a tangent line to y = 1/x ( for x > 0)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given a point $(x_0,y_0)$ the equation of a line with slope m that passes through the given point is

$y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)$ or equivalently

$y = mx+(y_0-mx_0)$ .

Recall that a line of the form $y=mx+b$ , the y intercept is b and the x intercept is $\frac{-b}{m}$ .

So, in our case, the y intercept is $(y_0-mx_0)$ and the x intercept is $\frac{mx_0-y_0}{m}$ .

In our case, we know that the line is tangent to the graph of 1/x. So consider a point over the graph $(x_0,\frac{1}{x_0})$ . Which means that $y_0=\frac{1}{x_0}$
