Step-by-step explanation:
Since angle RTS is a right angle, we have three similar triangles.
Thus, 
Cross Products, 
Take the square root: 
Answer:
Your answer should be A x=+- 3
Step-by-step explanation:
WX and ZY make up the legs, as illustrated in the diagram.
Since it is an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are congruent; that means
6<em>x</em> + 5 = 8<em>x</em> - 3
When solving this equation, we do not want a variable on both sides. We will cancel the 6<em>x</em> to avoid negatives:
6<em>x</em> + 5 - 6<em>x</em> = 8<em>x</em> - 3 - 6<em>x</em>
5 = 8<em>x</em> - 3 - 6<em>x</em>
Combine like terms:
5 = 2<em>x</em> - 3
Cancel the 3 by adding:
5 + 3 = 2<em /><em>x</em> - 3 + 3
8 = 2<em>x</em>
Cancel the 2 by dividing:
8/2 = 2<em>x</em>/2
4 = <em>x</em><em />

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
perpendicular is 90 degrees or inverse slope of that point
y = -1/4x -1
so the inverse slope of -1/4 is 4
now the other equation is
y = 4x - 1
So the two equations are
y = -1/4x -1
y = 4x - 1
