Hey there!
A perpendicular line's slope to another line is always the negative reciprocal of slope.
If our line has a slope of two, we first must find the reciprocal, which is 1/2. Then, we put a negative on it.
Therefore, our equation is y=-1/2x+b.
I hope that this helps! Have a great day!
Answer:
x = 55
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a line parallel to the top and bottom parallel lines so this new line goes through the pointed end of x.
Draw another line parallel to the top and bottom lines through the pointy end of 45.
The bottom angle of the line through 45 is 15 degrees (alternate interior angles.
The top angle is 45 - 15 = 30
The bottom angle of the line going to x is 150 degrees. It and the 30 degree angle make 180. 30 + 150 = 180
One final observation The top angle of made by the line going through x is 180 - 25 = 155
What you have now is
155 + 150 + x = 360
305 + x = 360
x = 360 - 305
x = 55
Answer:
h = 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
This is just substituting in for variables and solving for x. The hard part is knowing the formula.
R = h((a+b)/2) where a and b are the 2 different bases, h is the height or latitude, and R is the area of a trapezoid, is the formula.
Given that R = 8.1, a = 1 and b = 3.5, we can substitute these equations in the formula.
(8.1) = h(((1) + (3.5)) / 2)
= h((4.5) / 2)
= h(2.25)
8.1/2.25 = h
3.6 = h
