I used the Pythagorean formula, which is a² + b² = c².
a² and b² are the two side legs while c² is the hypotenuse.
One of the side is 42 - 8 = 34 cm.
Answer:
I believe the answer is d
1. 3x - 2y = 8 Subtract 3x on both sides
-2y = 8 - 3x Divide by -2 on both sides to get y by itself
y = -4 + 3/2x
2. a + b / 3 = 5 Multiply 3 on both sides
a + b = 15 Subtract a on both sides to get b by itself
b = 15 - a
3. 12x - 4y = 20 Subtract -12x on both sides
-4y = 20 - 12x Divide -4 on both sides to get y by itself
y = -5 + 3x
4. y + 3 = -5(x - 2) Multiply -5 to (x-2)
y + 3 = -5x + 10 Subtract 3 on both sides to get y by itself
y = -5x + 7
Parallel lines should have the same slope. Therefore, you know which point it passes through and the slope. Plug in the points and slop into slope-intercept form to find b. Please refer to the picture.
