Answer: y=-3x+7

Step-by-step explanation: The slope of a line that is perpendicular will always be the opposite ( change positive to negative) and the inverse. Since 1/3 is the slope we would change it to negative (-1/3) and flip it. The slope of the new line is -3. Your new equation is y=-3x+b. Now, plug in 4 for x and -5 for y. -5=-3(4)+b. B=7.

In right triangle DEF, ∠E is a right angle, m∠D=26∘, and DF=4.5.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The measurement of EF is 1.98 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In Δ DEF

∵ m∠E = 90°

∴ FD is the hypotenuse of the triangle

∵ m∠D = 26°

∵ EF is opposite to angle D

- We can use the sine ratio to find it

∵ sin D = $\frac{EF}{FD}$ ⇒ (opposite side / hypotenuse)

∵ FD = 4.5 units

∴ sin(26) = $\frac{EF}{4.5}$

- Multiply both sides by 4.5

∴ 4.5 sin(26) = EF

∵ sin 26° ≈ 0.44

∴ 4.5(0.44) = EF

∴ 1.98 = EF

The measurement of EF is 1.98 units

Find the length of a rectangle with a diagonal of 10 and a height of 8.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diagonal of a rectangle is 10 and the height is 8.

Please understand, that a diagonal, divides the rectangle into two tringles.

To find the length of the rectangle, you can use Pythagoras on one of the right sided triangles, because the length of the triangle, is also the length of the rectangle!

EXTRA:

If you know the special 3 4 5 triangle, a so called Pythagorean Triple, then you can "see" the simularity between the numbers.

Instead of 5, a diagonal of 10 is given (factor of 2 bigger).

Instead of 4, the height of 8 is given (factor of 2 bigger). By scaling the Pythagorean Triple 3 4 5 by a factor of 2, you get the numbers 6 8 10. Could it be, that the number we need to find, is six?

Try to verify, by calculating the missing number (which is the length of the rectangle we are looking for).

a² + b² = c²

a = length (and is unknown)

b = height = 8

c = hypothenusa/diagonal = 10

Substitute the numbers given:

a² + 8² = 10²

Subtract 8² left and right of the = sign.

a² +8² -8² = 10² - 8²

a² + 0 = 100 - 64

a² = 36

a = + - √36

a = + - 6

EXTRA:

You can ignore the -√36 = -6 part of the solution, because a length of -6 has no meaning here.

a = 6

So, the length of the triangle is 6 and thus, the length of the rectangle is also 6.

How wide is a rectangle with a length of 38 cm and 8 dm perimeter?

Lesechka [4]

Perimeter is all four sides added together, therefore....

38+38= 76

8dm= 80cm
80cm*2=160 cm

76+160= 236

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope 1/4 and y intercept -4. Then graph the line

quester [9]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is y = mx + b

b is the y intercept ( crossing y axis value).... by inspection b = -4

m is the slope of the line, Slope = m = 1/4 note: the slope is positive

the slope equals the 'rise' over 'run'

if the line moves up the slope is positive, if the line moves down the slope is negative

the rise is how many y units does the line go 'up' or 'down'

the run is how many x units does the line go 'left' or 'right'

the rise = 1 Y unit

the run = 4 X units

y = mx + b m =1/4 b = -4

y = (1/4)x + (-4)

y = (1/4)x - 4

graph a line stating at y = -4 and going up (rising) to the right ONE Y Unit for every FOUR X units (the run)
