Answer:

15 cm on the map is equal to 25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

On a map, 9 cm represents 15 miles.

The distance between two cities is 15 cm. We need to find the distance in miles.

9 cm = 15 miles

$1\ cm=\dfrac{15}{9}\ \miles$

So, 15 cm is equal to,

$15\ cm=\dfrac{15}{9}\times 15\ miles\\\\=25\ miles$

So, 15 cm on the map is equal to 25 miles.

For the given line segment, write the equation of the perpendicular bisector.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

D) y = -4/5x – 47/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Find the midpoint of the segment.

The two end points are (-6, -4) and (-2, 1).

The midpoint is at the average of the coordinates.

(xₚ, yₚ) = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)

(xₚ, yₚ) = ((-6 - 2)/2, (-4 + 1)/2)

(xₚ, yₚ) = (-8/2, -3/2)

(xₚ, yₚ) = (-4, -3/2)

===============

Step 2. Find the slope (m₁) of the segment

m₁ = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m₁ = (1 - (-4))/(-2 - (-6))

m₁ = (1 + 4)/(-2 + 6)

m₁ = 5/4

===============

Step 3. Find the slope (m₂) of the perpendicular bisector

m₂ = -1/m₁

m₂ = -4/5

====================

Step 4. Find the intercept of the perpendicular bisector

y = mx + b

y = -(4/5)x + b

The line passes through (-4, -3/2).

-3/2 = -(4/5)(-4) + b

-3/2 = 16/5 + b Multiply each side by 10

-15 = 32 + 10 b Subtract 32 from each side

-47 = 10b Divide each side by 10

b = -47/10

===============

Step 5. Write the equation for the perpendicular bisector

y = -4/5x – 47/10

The graph shows the midpoint of your segment at (-4, -3/2) and the perpendicular bisector passing through the midpoint and (0, -47/10).

The coordinates of the vertices of a rectangle are (−3, 4) , (7, 2) , (6, −3) , and (−4, −1) . What is the perimeter of the rect

ki77a [65]

Answrer

Find out the what is the perimeter of the rectangle .

To prove

Now as shown in the figure.

Name the coordinates as.

A(−3, 4) ,B (7, 2) , C(6, −3) , and D(−4, −1) .

In rectangle opposite sides are equal.

Thus

AB = DC

AD = BC

Formula

$Disatnce\ formula = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}$

Now the points A(−3, 4) and B(7, 2)

$AB = \sqrt{(7- (-3))^{2} +(2- 4)^{2}}$

$AB = \sqrt{(10)^{2} +(-2)^{2}}$

$AB = \sqrt{100+4}$

$AB = \sqrt{104}$

$AB = 2\sqrt{26}\units$

Thus

$CD= 2\sqrt{26}\units$

Now the points

A (−3, 4) , D (−4, −1)

$AD = \sqrt{(-4 - (-3))^{2} +(-1- 4)^{2}}$

$AD = \sqrt{(-1)^{2} +(-5)^{2}}$

$AD = \sqrt{1 + 25}$

$AD = \sqrt{26}\units$

Thus

$BC = \sqrt{26}\units$

Formula

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)

Here

$Length = 2\sqrt{26}\ units$

$Breadth = \sqrt{26}\ units$

$Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 2(2\sqrt{26} +\sqrt{26})$

$Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 2(3\sqrt{26})$

$Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 6\sqrt{26}$

$\sqrt{26} = 5.1 (Approx)$

$Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 6\times 5.1$

Perimeter of a rectangle = 30.6 units.

Therefore the perimeter of a rectangle is 30.6 units.
