Vikentia [17]2 years ago

Answer:

a = 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure has been re-labelled and attached to this response.

From the figure, the larger right triangle DAB and the small right triangle BCA are similar. This is because;

i. They have two corresponding congruent angles which are<em> the right angle</em>

and <em>angle B</em>

Therefore, we can say that;

\frac{|DB|}{|BA|} = \frac{|AB|}{|BC|}

\frac{13}{a} = \frac{a}{4}

<em>Cross multiply</em>

a x a = 13 x 4

a² = 52

a = √52

a = 7.2

Note: The figure showing the similar triangles has also been attached to this response.

Answer:

the graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

7x+3y

isolate the variable y

Subtract 7x both sides

3y

3y

Divide by 3 both sides

y

The solution of the inequality is the shaded area below the dashed line

The equation of the shaded line is y=-4x+2

The slope of the dashed line is negative m=-4

The y-intercept of the dashed line is the point (0,2)

The x-intercept of the dashed line is the point (0.5,0)

To graph the inequality plot the intercepts and shade the area below the dashed line

using a graphing tool
