Answer attached, but more letters needed
Answer:
15, 60, and 61
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to find the 3rd side length from 2 side length chosen. So let’s pick 8 meters and 11 meters, to find the third side length we use the Pythagorean theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c = 11^2 + 8^2 = 121 + 64 = 185 = 13.6
13.6 isn’t one of the answers so we can’t pick 11 & 8. Let’s try 11 & 15:
c = 15^2 + 11^2 = 225 + 121 = 346 = 18.6
18.6 isn’t one of the answers either. Let’s try 15 & 60:
c = 60^2 + 15^2 = 3600 + 225 = 3825 = 61.85
61.85 might be it but let’s try one more just in case:
c = 60^2 + 61^2 = 3600 + 3721 = 7321 = 85.6
Nope! That means 15, 60, and 61 are the answer. I hope this is correct!
If it is perpendicular to the line 14x-7y=4, then we know our line has the opposite and inverse slope of that line. Solving for y of the first line, we get y=2x-(4/7). All we care about is the coefficient of the x term, because that will give us our slope. The slope of the first line is 2, so the slope of out line is the opposite and inverse of that slope, which -(1/2).
Plugging into our slope- point formula, where y1=(-9), x1=2, and m=(-1/2), then:
y-(-9)=(-1/2)(x-2)
y+9=(-1/2)x+1
y=(-1/2)x-8
remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
we can do a subsitution
y=x+6
y=-7x-10
since y=x+6, we can subsitute x+6 for y in the other equation
y=-7x-10
x+6=-7x-10
add 7x to both sides
8x+6=-10
minus 6 from both sides
8x=-16
divide both sides by 8
x=-16/8=-2
the valu eof x that satisfies both equations is x=-2
