\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{x}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-9})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-(-9)}{0-x}=\stackrel{\stackrel{slope}{\downarrow }}{-4}\implies \cfrac{1+9}{-x}=-4 \\\\\\ \cfrac{10}{-x}=-4\implies 10=4x\implies \cfrac{10}{4}=x\implies \cfrac{5}{2}=x

A carpenter is building a unique jewelry box in the shape of a right triangular prism. The base has measurements of 4 inches, 3
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Answer: The carpenter will need 84 square inches of wood.

In this problem we are looking for the surface area of the jewelry box. This box has 5 faces. The two triangles at each end and the 3 rectangle pieces between them.

The sides of the triangles are 3, 4, 5 which always forms a right triangle with legs of 3 and 4. Use the formula for the area of a triangle, we have 3 x 4 / 2 = 6. The area of each triangle is 6 square inches.

Now, the three sides, each one has a height of 6.
3 x 6 = 18
4 x 6 = 24
5 x 6 = 30

If we add all the sides together, we get an area of 84 square inches.
6 + 6 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 84

What is a necessary step for constructing perpendicular lines through a point off the line?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Find another point on the perpendicular line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an original line "m", and a point off the line "Q", in order to construct a second line "p", meant to be perpendicular to "m" through the point "Q", fundamentally, the only truly necessary step to construct a perpendicular line through is to find another point on the yet-to-be-found perpendicular line.

Most often, this is accomplished by exploiting the fact that "p" is the set of all points that are equidistant from any pair of points that are symmetric about "p".

Since the symmetry must be about "p", and we don't even know where "p" is, one often finds two points on "m" that are equidistant from "Q".

This can be accomplished by adjusting a compass to a fixed radius (larger than the distance from "Q" to "m"), and making an arc that intersects "m" in two places.  Those two places will be equidistant from "Q", and are simultaneously on line "m".  Thus, these two points, "A" & "B" are symmetric about "p".

Since "A" & "B" are symmetric about "p", they are equidistant from "p", and are on "m".  One could try to find the point of intersection between "p" and "m" through construction, but this is unnecessary.  We need only find a second point (besides "Q") that is equidistant from "A" & "B", which will necessarily be a point on "p", to form the line perpendicular to "m".

To do this, fix the compass with any radius, and from "A" make a large arc generally in the direction of "B", and make the same radius arc from "B" in the direction of "A" such that the two arcs intersect at some point that isn't "Q".  This point of intersection we can call point "T", and the line QT is line "p", the line perpendicular to the original line, necessarily containing "Q".

BRAINLIEST if correct + small explanation
astraxan [27]

Answer is 280

First, find A = 35% (100% less the three known percents = 35

Second, find ratio of B
20% of x = 160
Divide 160/.20 to isolate x
X=800 (total biscuits)
Now take A percentage x 800 biscuits
800 x 35% = 280 people chose biscuit A

Answer:

1. Subtract starting value minus final value.

2.divide that amount by the absolute value of the starting value.

3. Multiplt by 100 to get a percent decrease.

4. if the percentage is negative, it means there was an increase and not an decrease
