1 answer:
NeX [460]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem,

Base² + altitude² = hypotenuse²

15² +  altitude²  = 17²

225 +  altitude²  = 289

             altitude² = 289 - 225

             altitude² = 64

              altitude² = 8²

             altitude   = √8²

 altitude  = 8

P = 8 + 15 + 17 =  40 units

A= \frac{1}{2}*base * height\\\\ = \frac{1}{2}* 15 * 8\\\\= 15 * 4\\\\= 60 sq. units

Can someone plz help me with this problem and plz show work.
motikmotik

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 5

the slope (m) of this line is 2 (which can be written as 2/1)

The slope of a perpendicular line is -1/m (the reciprocal of the slope with the opposite sign)

so m = 2/1 => -1/m = - 1/2 = the slope of a line perpendicular to y = 2x + 5
