7 0

Answer:

7.07 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem for the right triangle:

$\text{hypotenuse}^2=\text{leg}_1^2+\text{leg}_2^2,\\ \\c^2=a^2+b^2.$

If a = x, b = x, and c = 10, then

$10^2=x^2+x^2,\\ \\100=2x^2,\\ \\x^2=50,\\ \\x=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}\approx 7.07\ units.$

determine whether the lines intersect and if so find the point of intersection and the cosine of the angle of intersection x=4t+

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

As the lines are not intersecting nor parallel, they must be skew.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question is incomplete, we consider the nearest match available online.

Parametric equations of two lines are:

L₁ : x=4t+2 , y = 3 , z =-t+1

L₂: x=2s+2 , y= 2s+5 , z = s+1

If lines are parallel then parametric coordinates must be equal scalar multiple of each other which s not true here.

$4t+2=2s+2 ---(1)\\ \\3=2s+5---(2) \\\\-t+1=s+1---(3)$

If lines are intersecting then parametric coordinates must be equal for some value of t and s.

$From (3)\\-t=s\\From (2)\\\\s=\frac{3-5}{2}\\\\s=-1\\\implies t=1\\\\To\,\,check\,\, the \,\,values \,\,of \,\,s\,\, and \,\,t \,\,for\,\,intersection\,\,put \,\,them\,\, in\,\, (1)\\\\4(1)+2= 2(-1)+2\\ 6\ne0$

Hence the lines are not intersecting nor parallel, they must be skew.

Find the slope of the line.

Anika [276]

The equation for working out the slope of a linear line is: $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ , where x and y are the coordinate pairs.

So just pick two of the purple dots on the graph and fill in the equation.

I'll pick the dot that's (-4, 1) and (4, -7).

Now I just do $\frac{7 - 1}{4 - -4}$ , which is just $\frac{3}{4}$ when simplified.
