Answer: 281.7
Step-by-step explanation:
There's no such thing as parallel or perpendicular "to a point". A problem like that
will always want the new line to be parallel or perpendicular to another <em><u>line</u></em>.
-- If the new line is parallel to the given line, then they have the <em><u>same</u></em> slope.
-- If the new line is perpendicular to the the given line, then the slope of the
new line is [ <em><u>1 / slope of the given line</u></em> ].
In either case, you now have the slope of the new line and a point on it.
From there, you should have no trouble finding its equation.
Just look up 53 1/3 yards in feet. This would mean that the football field is 160 feet.
Answer:
22.14
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
21^2 + 7^2 = c^2
441 + 49 = c^2
490 = c^2 (square root both sides so c^2 becomes c)
c = 22.13594363 (round to hundredths)
c = 22.14
