Answer:

Tan T = 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, please check attachment to have a picture of the triangle we are solving.

Now, we are concerned with calculating the ratio that represents the tangent of angle T.

Mathematically, the tangent of an angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite to the length of the adjacent.

In this question, our opposite is 7 while the adjacent is 24.

Thus Tan T = 7/24

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line

Sati [7]

Given:

Given that the graph of the equation of the line.

The line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (2,-1)

We need to determine the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line.

Slope of the given line:

The slope of the given line can be determined by substituting any two coordinates from the line in the slope formula,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substituting the coordinates (-1,3) and (2,2), we get;

$m_1=\frac{2-3}{2+1}$

$m_1=-\frac{1}{3}$

Thus, the slope of the given line is $m_1=-\frac{1}{3}$

Slope of the perpendicular line:

The slope of the perpendicular line can be determined by

$m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}$

Substituting $m_1=-\frac{1}{3}$ , we get;

$m_2=-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{3}}$

simplifying, we get;

$m_2=3$

Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line is 3.

Equation of the perpendicular line:

The equation of the perpendicular line can be determined using the formula,

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Substituting $m=3$ and the point (2,-1) in the above formula, we have;

$y+1=3(x-2)$

$y+1=3x-6$

$y=3x-7$

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line is $y=3x-7$

Hence, Option d is the correct answer.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

AB = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = AD

AB² + 4² = (AB + 2)²

AB² + 16 = AB² + 4AB + 4

combine like terms:

4AB = 12

AB = 3
