Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tema [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

y = -3x + 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line segment  is (3-7)/(-4-8) = -4/-12 = 1/3.

The midpoint of the line has  coordinates (8-4)/2, (7+3)/2.

= (2, 5).

The slope of  the  perpendicular bisector = -1/ 1/3 = -3.

So it's bisector has equation:

y - y1  = m(x - x1)=

y - 5 = -3(x - 2)

y = -3x + 6 + 5

y = -3x + 11.

What are the values the values of a and b?
Setler [38]
The segment marked 20 is the geometric mean of the two pieces into which it splits the hypotenuse. You get the proportion

\frac{20}{a} = \frac{21}{20}

Solving,

21a =(20)(20) \\ 21a = 400 \\ a = \frac{400}{21}

To find  b,  use the fact that  b  is the geometric mean of the whole hypotenuse, 21 + a, and the part that is attached to it,  a.

\frac{b}{a} = \frac{21+a}{b}

A little arithmetic shows that 21+a = \frac{841}{21}.

\frac{b}{\frac{400}{21}} = \frac{\frac{841}{21}}{b} \\ b^2 = \frac{336400}{441} \\ b=\frac{580}{21}

Can someone please tell me if this angle is supplementary or complementary
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angles both come off of the straight line, they are supplementary, and they add up to equal 180 degrees.

2x + 4x + 24 = 180 and

6x + 24 = 180 and

6x = 156 so

x = 26

In Canada, 92% of the households have televisions.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Let "T" denote households with television

"I" denote households with internet

and "N" denote households with neither of these.

Since P(N) = 0.05 then it means P(TuI) = 0.95. We know from set theory that P(TuI) = P(T) + P(I) - P(TnI). Thus,

0.95 = 0.92 + 0.72 - P(TnI) ==> P(TnI) = 0.69. This means P(T/I) = P(T) - P(TnI) = 0.92 - 0.69 = 0.23, and P(I/T) = P(I) - P(TnI) = 0.72 - 0.69 = 0.03. So,

a)

House                 Probability

Nothing                0.05

Only television      0.23

Only internet         0.03

Both                   0.69

b) P(internet but no television) = P(only internet) = 0.03

c) P(internet | there is television) = (By Bayes' Rule) P(TnI) / P(T) = 0.69 / 0.95 = 0.726 (rounded to 3 decimal points)

d) P(internet | there is no television) = (By Bayes' Rule) P(I/T) / P(T') = 0.03 / 0.08 = 0.375

e) From (c) and (d) ==> In Canada, it is (0.726/0.375 ≈ 2 ) twice more likely that if there's television in the household, then there is internet.

Find x on this special right triangle
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The answer is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know than Tan45=1

Tanx=opp/adj

tan45=y/(7\sqrt{2})/2

Thus y=7\sqrt{2}/2

We know by pythagoras theorem that hyp^2=side^2+side^2

x^{2}=((7\sqrt{2} /2)^{2}+(7\sqrt{2}/2)^{2}

x^{2}=(49(2)/4)+(49(2)/4)

x^{2}=(49/2)+(49/2)

x^{2}=(98/2)

x^{2}=49

x=7
