Answer:

  10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of AC is given by the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (-4 -1)/(3 -(-1)) = -5/4

Then the slope of CB is the opposite reciprocal, 4/5. The equation of line CB in point-slope form is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

  y -(-4) = 4/5(x -3) . . . . line CB

When y = 1 (to match the y-value of A), then ...

  1 +4 = 4/5(x -3)

  5(5/4) = (x -3) . . . . . multiply by 5/4

  6.25 +3 = x = 9.25 . . . . add 3

Point B is (9.25, 1).

The length of the hypotenuse is ...

  9.25 -(-1) = 10.25

Find x in this porportion 5/2x =25/4
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

x = \frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{5}{2x} = \frac{25}{4} ( cross- multiply )

25 × 2x = 5 × 4

50x = 20 ( divide both sides by 50 )

x = \frac{20}{50} = \frac{2}{5}
