Answer:

Radical: 5√13

Decimal: 18.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the dimension of the board given as 10ft by 15ft

If the board is nailed diagonally, the length of the bracing board will be gotten using the pythagoras theorem;

d² = 10² + 15²

d² = 100 + 225

d² = 325

d = √325

Expressing in radical form;

d = √325

d = √25*13

d = 5√13

Hence the length of the board in radical form is 5√13 feet

Express in decimal form;

d = √325

d = 18.0

Hence the length of the board to the nearest tenth is 18.0 feet

Answer:

2x - 7y = -34.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the line we want is perpendicular to y= -7/2 x + 9 it's slope will be

-1 /(-7/2) = 2/7.

Now we find the point of intersection ofn the 2 given  lines:

x    + y = 10

3x - 4y = -12

Multiply the first equation by -3:

-3x - 3y = -30

Now add this last equation to the second one:

-7y =  -42

y = 6

Plug y = 6 into the first equation:

x + 6 = 10

x = 4.

So the point of intersection is (4, 6) and the equation we want passes through this, so using the point-slope form of  straight line we have:

y - 6 = 2/7(x - 4)

7y - 42 = 2(x - 4)

7y - 42 = 2x - 8

2x - 7y = -42 + 8

2x - 7y = -34
