Answer:

B. Yes, because ED is perpendicular to DT which makes a right angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot the given points and connect in pairs to get a triangle.

Visually we can say it is a right triangle as legs TD and ED seem perpendicular.

Let's confirm this by finding the slopes.

Slope of TD:

m = (-1 - 4)/(1 -(-2)) = -5/3

Slope of ED:

(-1 - 2)/ (1 - 6) = -3/-5 = 3/5

Product of the slopes is:

-5/3*3/5 = -1

This confirms DT⊥ED

Correct choice is B

I have 2 questions to ask 1 is divide 180 degrees in a ratio of 4,5 and 9

MAXImum [283]

Here's how to do dividing in a certain ratio:

-- You want to divide up the whole thing in the ratio of
4 parts, 5 parts, and 9 parts.

-- How many parts all together ? (4 + 5 + 9) = 18 parts all together.

-- The whole thing is 180, and that's 18 total parts.
So each part is (180/18) = 10 degrees.

4 parts = (4 x 10) = 40
5 parts = (5 x 10) = 50
9 parts = (9 x 10) = 90.

Check: (40 + 50 + 90) = 180 . yay!

==============================

For the second one, I think there are some words missing.

A Family spends 240.00 per week on food. If this is 16% of their income, what is the families weekly income?

nexus9112 [7]

Answer: The family's weekly income is $1500

-------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

x = weekly income (in dollars)

16% of x = amount spent on food per week
16% of x = 240
(16/100)*x = 240
0.16*x = 240
0.16*x/0.16 = 240/0.16
x = 1500
