Answer:
16 feet is the correct answer to this problem.
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)
there are 4 tens in a deck so probability of picking a ten is 4/52 reduced to 1/13
there are 13 clubs in a deck, probability for that is 13/52 reduced to 1/4
probability for both is 1/13 x 1/4 = 1/52
