Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle you can you pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

A= shortest side.

B=middle side.

C=longest/slanted side or hypotenuse.

So AB is the hypotenuse.

BC is the short side.

this means that AC is the middle side. Plug your numbers in.

25 + b^2 =169

b^2=144

b=12

AC=12

The slope of two lines are 5/6 and 2/p. determine the value of p that will make the lines
Anni [7]
Parallel:  the lines have = slopes.  We thus need 5/6 to equal 2/p.  then 5p must equal 12, and p = 12/5.   (answer)

Check:  Is 5/6 = 2 / (12/5)?  YES

Perp.:  The lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.

Then -6/5 = 2/p,  or

 -6      2
---- = ----
  5      p             Thus, -6p = 10, and p = -5/3   (answer)

Gema has 4 <br> FT of wire how much wire does she need to wrap one meter of her garden?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

3.28 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

One meter equals to 3.28 feet.

The question isn't exactly clear what Gema wants to use her wire for, because "wrap one meter" isn't correct.

You wrap something around something else...  and you can't wrap something around a meter.  You can wrap around a square meter by doing the perimeter... but then you'd need more than meter to do the perimeter of a square meter (the perimeter can be around 4 meters).

So, assuming she has a length of 1 meter to cover, she would need 3.28 feet.

Use Cramer's rule to find the solution to the following system of linear equations.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

x = 53

y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(I):-

Given equations are

x -2y =-7 ...(I)

5x-9y =-5 ..(ii)

The matrix form  AX = B

                    \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2\\ 5  & -9\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-7\\-5\\\end{array}\right]

The determinant

= \left|\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2\\5&-9\\\end{array}\right| = -9+10 =1

By using Cramer's Rule

Δ₁ =      \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-7&-2\\\\-5&-9\end{array}\right]



The determinant is     Δ₁ = -9 X -7 - (10 ) = 53

x = Δ₁ / Δ

x = 53

The determinant

Δ₂ =



Δ₂ = -5 +35

     

 

y = Δ₂/Δ =  30
