PLEASE HELP i have no idea what i’m doing- <br> (Using trigonometry to find a side)

Find the area of the figure. (Sides meet at right angles.) <br>

ikadub [295]

Answer:

44ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Break the shape into 3 rectangles, two 3 by 2's and one 4 by 8. (Get 4 by subtracting 3 from 7 for the left and right most side)

3 x 2 = 6 ft^2

since there's two rectangles you end up 6 + 6 so you get 12 ft^2

then 4 x 8 = 32 ft^2

add 32 and 12, get 44 ft^2

What is the equation of the line?

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

y=1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(0,2) and (-4,0).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (0,2), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=0 and y1=2.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-4,0), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=-4 and y2=0.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m= 0 - 2-4 - 0 or... m= -2-4 or... m=1/2

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=1/2x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(0,2). When x of the line is 0, y of the line must be 2.

(-4,0). When x of the line is -4, y of the line must be 0.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=1/2x+b. b is what we want, the 1/2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (0,2) and (-4,0).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(0,2). y=mx+b or 2=1/2 × 0+b, or solving for b: b=2-(1/2)(0). b=2.

(-4,0). y=mx+b or 0=1/2 × -4+b, or solving for b: b=0-(1/2)(-4). b=2.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(0,2) and (-4,0)

is

y=1/2x+2

Question #19- Use the answer bank below to fill in missing parts of the proof.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

∠MPQ ≅ ∠MPR: Reason; Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC)

∠PQR ≅∠PRQ: Reason; CPCTC

Step-by-step explanation:

$\overline{PQ}\cong \overline{PR}$ : Reason; Given

Draw $\overline{PM}$ so that M is the midpoint of $\overline{QR}$ : Reason; Two points determine a line

$\overline{QM}\cong \overline{RM}$ : Reason; Definition of midpoint

$\overline{PM}\cong \overline{PM}$ : Reason; Reflexive property

ΔPQM ≅ ΔPRM: Reason; Side Side Side (SSS) rule for triangle congruency

∠MPQ ≅ ∠MPR: Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent CPCTC

∠PQR ≅∠PRQ: CPCTC

A university's freshman class has 6200 students. 4836 of those students are majoring

WINSTONCH [101]

According to the solving 78% of the freshman class are Economics majors.

<h3>What does a percentage mean?</h3>

percentage, a relative figure signifying hundredths of any amount. Since one percent (symbolized as 1%) is equal to one hundredth of something, 100 percent stands for everything, and 200 percent refers to twice the amount specified.

<h3>Why is it called percent?</h3>

The word "percent" comes from the Latin adverb per centum, which means "by the hundred." In the sixteenth century, the Latin expression made its way into English. Later, it was shortened to % with a final period.

<h3>According to the given data:</h3>

It is given that the total number of students in freshman class = 6200

Total number of students majoring in Economics = 4836

Here, we are asked to find the percentage of the freshman class who are majoring in Economics.

Percent of students majoring Economics = (Number of students majoring/ Economics Total number of students) x 100

= $\frac{4836}{6200}$ x 100
