True! The slopes are opposite reciprocals (aka perpendicular lines)
Your answer to your problem is -1/3
a. 6 x 5 = 30
b. 5.6 x 5 = 28
a. 20 devided by 5 = 5.6
b. 36 devided by 5 = 7.2 (i dont know, that sounds like a pretty tall person to me)
Answer:
- b = 15
- c = 51
- c = 100
- b = 25.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Pythagoras theorem equation:

Where 'c' is the hypotenuse and 'b' and 'a' the sides of the right triangle.
1) Here c = 17, a = 8 and b = ?
Then, using the above equation we can find the side b.


2) Here a = 24, b = 45 and c = ?

3) Here a = 28, b = 96 and c = ?
4) Here a = 17, b = ? and c = 28

Just in the 4 case x is an altitude.

Answer:
1. -29/156 2. 38/45 3. 29/45 4. 113/24 or about 4.7 5. 457/1, 914/2, 1371/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3/13 - 5/12 can be simplified to 36/156 - 65/156. Subtract this and you get -29/156
4/9 + 2/5 can be simplified to 20/45 + 18/45. Add this and you get
38/45
5/8 - 2/9 can be simplified to 45/72 - 16/72. Subtract this and you get
29/45
3 1/2 + 2 5/12 can be first made irrational to 7/2 + 29/24. This can be simplified to 84/24 + 29/24
113/24 or about 4.7
Not sure about the 457, but to convert it, you multiply it by whatever denominator you have. For example
1x457 = 457/1
2x457 = 914/2
And finally 3x457 = 1371/3
