a) 62.855m
We will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem here, as we know a and c, but not b. I have attached an image of a triangle sketch to set up the problem, which should hopefully help us to visualize this problem a bit better.
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(19.8)^2 + b^2 = (65.9)^2
392.04 + b^2 = 4342.81
b^2 = 3950.77
b = 62.855 (rounded to 3 places)
b) m = 0.315
The gradient is also known as the slope. I've shown what the points would be in the image attached. Now that we know the value of b (x in the points in image), we can use points E and C to find the slope.
Point 1: (0,0)
Point 2: (62.855, 19.8)
m = (19.8 - 0) / (62.855 - 0)
m = 19.8 / 62.855
m = 0.315 (rounded to three places)
c) 17.485 degrees
The angle of inclination would be angle C. To find angle C, we will need to use an inverse trigonometry function. Any can be used since we know all of the side lengths, but I will show Sine here, opposite / hypotenuse.
sin(x) = 19.8 / 65.9
x = sin^-1 (19.8/65.9)
x = 17.485 degrees (rounded to 3 places)
Hope this helps!! :)
To be honest my example for this is 160
Answer:
x = -1, and y = -2, giving you the answer (-1, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
In the second equation, we're told that y is equal to 2x. With that, we can replace "y" in the first one with "2x", giving us:
-4x - 2x = 6
-6x = 6
x = -1
Now that we know the value of x, we can simply plug it into the first equation to find y:
-4x - y = 6
-4(-1) - y = 6
4 - y = 6
-4 + y = -6
y = -6 + 4
y = -2
So x = -1, and y = -2
Red to total I believe is 12/23
