How do i find the shorted distance between the point and the line

Mathematics
1 answer:
m_a_m_a [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8

4y = -3x+8

y = -3/4+2

The shortest distance between a point and a line is the perpendicular line.

Slope of the perpendicular line: 4/3 and point (-3,-2)

b = -2-(4/3)(-3) = 2

Equation of the perpendicular line: y=4/3x+2

y is equal y

4/3x+2= -3/4x+2

4/3x +3/4x = 2-2

x = 0

Plug x=0 into one of the equations to find y

y = 4/3(0) + 2

y = 2

(0,2) and (-3,-2)

Distance = sqrt [(-3-0)^2 + (-2-2)^2]

Sqrt (-3)^2+ (-4)^2

Sqrt 25 = 5

svetlana [45]

Answer:

4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the formula:

V = \pi r^{2}h

Plug in the the radius (3) and volume (127.23):

127.23 = 3.14(3)^{2} h

Square the 3 :

127.23 = 3.14(9)h

Multiply the pi & volume:

127.23 = 28.26h

Divide both sides by 28.26:

127.23 ÷ 28.26 = 28.26h ÷ 28.26

h = 4.5021231...

I hope this helps!

Answer: 120 cm^2

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Base (b) = 12 cm
Height (h) = 10 cm
Area (a) = bh

Therefore,
= bh
= b * h
= 12 * 10
=> 120

Area (a) = 120 cm^2
