Answer:

y=1/2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find slope... (y2-y1)/x2-x1–> (-4-(-1))/-2-4=-3/-6=1/2

2) Pick a coordinate and plug into equation y-y1=m(x-x1)—> y-(-1)=1/2(x-4)

3) Simplify to make y alone —> y=1/2x-3

Simplify the radical expression.

Ber [7]

$\bf \sqrt[4]{625x^{12}y^8}~~ \begin{cases} 625=&5\cdot 5\cdot 5\cdot 5\\ &5^4\\ x^{12}=&x^{3\cdot 4}\\ &(x^3)^4\\ y^8=&y^{2\cdot 4}\\ &(y^2)^4 \end{cases}\implies \pm\sqrt[4]{5^4(x^3)^4(y^2)^4}\implies \begin{array}{llll} \pm5x^3y^2\\\\ 5|x^3|y^2\\\\ |5x^3y^2| \end{array}$

9. Find the dimensions of the<br>4 triangular faces of the pyramid.<br>(Height is 55.5 ft)<br>

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

$Q=\frac{\pi}{2}*55.5ft=87.18ft\\P=87.18ft*\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{16}{\pi ^{2}}}=87.18*0.9515=82.95ft\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a 4-sided triangular pyramid , where

$Q=\frac{\pi}{2}*H\\P=Q*\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{4}{\pi ^{2}}}\\Q=\frac{\pi}{2}*55.5ft=87.18ft\\P=87.18ft*\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{16}{\pi ^{2}}}=87.18*0.9515=82.95ft\\$
