MN = 6 in

add the parts of the ratio, 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

divide AB by 6 to find 1 part of the ratio

$\frac{18}{6}$ = 3 ← 1 part

AM = 3 in ← 1 part

MN = 2 × 3 = 6 in ← 2 parts

NB = 3 × 3 = 9 in ← 3 parts

and 3 + 6 + 9 = 18 in = AB

Find the missing side of this right a triangle?<br> help pls

yaroslaw [1]

Hi, there!

_____

To find the missing side length of this triangle (which is a <em>right</em> triangle), we'll use Pythagoras' Theorem.

$-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow\boldsymbol{a^2+b^2=c^2}$

Here,

$\textsc{legs:}\begin{cases} \bold{a}\\\bold{b} \end{cases}$

Hypotenuse (the longest side): c

We know that

$\bold{a=2 \ and \ b=28}$

So, we can substitute our parameters, and solve for c.

$\bold{2^2+28^2=c^2}$ $-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow$ square 2 and 28

$\bold{4+784=c^2}$ $-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow$ add the numbers

$\bold{788=c^2}$ $-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow$ square root both sides

$\bold{\sqrt{788}=c}$

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!

Which equation represents a line that passes through 4 6) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x - 4y= 6

Pachacha [2.7K]

Parallel means their slopes should equal to each other.

Thus we need to find the slope of the given line ,

Let's do it.....

$3x - 4y = 6$

Subtract sides -3x

$- 3x + 3x - 4y = - 3x + 6$

$- 4y = - 3x + 6$

Divided sides by -4

$\frac{ - 4}{ - 4}y = \frac{ - 3}{ - 4}x + \frac{6}{ - 4} \\$

$y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{3}{2} \\$

This is the slope-intercept of the line.

We know that the coefficient of the x in slope-intercept form , is the slope of the line.

Thus the slope of the equation which we want is :

$slope = \frac{3}{4} \\$

_________________________________

We have following equation to find the point-slope form of the linear functions.

$y - y(given \: point) = slope \times (x - x(g \: p) \: ) \\$

Now just need to put the slope and the given point in the above equation.

$y - 6 = \frac{3}{4} \times (x - 4) \\$

Multiply sides by 4

$4(y - 6) = 3(x - 4)$

$4y - 24 = 3x - 12$

Plus sides 24

$4y - 24 + 24 = 3x - 12 + 24$

$4y = 3x + 12$

Subtract sides -3x

$4y - 3x = 3x - 3x + 12$

$4y - 3x = 12$

And we're done....♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
