The slope is 1/2 and doesn’t need to be simplified
Answer:
= 3 3/4 m^2
or 15/4 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The base is the triangle.
A =1/2 bh
A = 1/2 (3 1/3 * 9/4)
Change 3 1/3 to an improper fraction (3*3+1)/3 = 10/3
A = 1/2 * 10/3 *9/4
Re arranging
= 1/2* 9/3 * 10/4
= 1/2 (3) 5/2
=15/4
Now writing as a mixed number
= 3 3/4 m^2
Answer:
Perpendicular!
Step-by-step explanation:
If they were parallel they would have the exact same slope. If they are perpendicular their slopes would be opposite reciprocals of each other... which they are. Another trick to tell if two slopes are perpendicular is to multiply them by each other and if the answer equals -1 they are perpendicular:
7/8 • -8/7 = -1/1 = -1
