3.Find the area of Triangle and Parallelogram having base 13.5cm and height is 18cm.

patriot [66]

Base=13.5cm
Height=18cm

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=\dfrac{1}{2}Base\times Height$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=\dfrac{1}{2}(18)(13.5)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=9(13.5)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=121.5cm^2$

What is the equation of a line parallel to y=1/2×+6 that passes through (-4,1)

IgorC [24]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/2 and passes through (-4 , 1)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}(x+4)\implies y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}x+2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x+3$

(6+3)÷(4-5)Evaluate the following numerical expressions.

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation:

(6+3)÷(4-5)

Since 6+3 is 9 and 4-5 = -1

You do 9 divided by -1. It equals -9.

It is -9 since a positive divided by a negative number.
