Answer:
A. 35 ft.
B. 35 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached photo for diagram.
A. Determination of the diagonal using pythagorean theorem.
A square has all sides equal. Thus, the diagonal of the square can be obtained as follow:
Ist leg (L₁) = 25 ft
2nd leg (L₂) = 25 ft
Diagonal (d) =?
d² = L₁² + L₂²
d² = 25² + 25²
d² = 625 + 625
d² = 1250
Take the square root of both side
d = √1250
d = 35 ft
B. Determination of the diagonal using trigonometry.
Since all the sides in a square are equal, the angle between each leg will be 90°. Thus, the diagonal will bisect the angle between the two leg equally i.e
Angle between Diagonal and each leg = 90/2 = 45°
Finally, we shall determine the length of the diagonal. This can be obtained as follow:
Angle θ = 45°
Opposite = 25 ft
Hypothenus = d
Sine θ = Opposite / Hypothenus
Sine 45 = 25 / d
0.7071 = 25 / d
Cross multiply
0.7071 × d = 25
Divide both side by 0.7071
d = 25 / 0.7071
d = 35 ft
Answer: D.
Step-by-step explanation: Once you subtract from both sides, in order to solve for y (as the equation needs to be in the slope-intercept form, otherwise known as
), you end up with
, which is the right answer. It is the correct answer because the y-intecept shown in the equation matches what is on the graph, in addition to the fact that the slope is just
.
The linear equation is y = 4x - 4
And the graph of the linear equation can be seen in the image below.
<h3>How to graph the last line?</h3>
It seems that you already are good at graphing, so I will try to explain how to find the equation more in detail.
Remember that a general linear equation is written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
In this case, we know that the y-intercept is -4, then b = -4, replacing that we get:
y = a*x - 4
Now we also can see that this line passes through the point (2, 4), this means that if we evaluate in x = 2, the outcome should be y = 4, replacing that we get:
4 = a*2 - 4
4 + 4 = a*2
8 = a*2
8/2 = a = 4
Then the slope is 4, and the linear equation is:
y = 4x - 4
The graph is below.
