Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the slope of CD.
We know C is (-10, -2)
and we know D is (10,6)
If we use the slope formula, we can see the slope is
We can see point F is at (6,-4)
We can find the equation of this line by using point slope form, and plugging in F as our point.
To find where E, we need to find the y value when x = -4
Answer:
diagonal = = 12.8 inches (to the nearest tenth of an inch)
Step-by-step explanation:
As shown in the diagram attached to this solution:
Let the Length of the rectangular board = a
Let the width = b
Let the diagonal = d
where:
a = 10 inches
b = 8 inches
d = ?
Triangle ABC in the diagram is a right-angled triangle, therefore, applying Pythagoras theorem:
(hypotenuse)² = (Adjacent)² + (Opposite)²
d² = 10² + 8²
d² = 100 + 64
d² = 164
∴ d = √(164)
d = 12.806 inches
d = 12.8 inches (to the nearest tenth of an inch)
<em>N:B Rounding off to the nearest tenth of an inch is the same as rounding off to 1 decimal place.</em>
