Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the value of y, first we need to find the length of the perpendicular dropped from one of the vertices of the triangle to its opposite side.
By geometric mean theorem:
Length of the perpendicular
Next, by Pythagoras theorem:

<u>Answer:</u>
Total Volume of composite figure = 635.2 cm³
<u>Steps:</u>
CV = h×3.14×(d/2)²
CV = 5×3.14(8/2)²
CV = 5×3.14(4)²
CV = 5×3.14×16
CV = 5×50.24
CV = 251.2 cm³
RV = h×w×l
RV = 4×8×12
RV = 4×96
RV = 384 cm³
TV = CV + RV
TV = 251.2 + 384
TV = 635.2 cm³
1. Cross multiply
35x = 5(11)
35x = 55
Divide both sides by 35
x = 55/35
x = 11/7
2. (x - 2)/x = 3/8
Cross multiply
3x = 8(x - 2)
3x = 8x - 16
Subtract 8x from both sides
-5x = -16
divide both sides by -5
x = -16/-5
x = 16/5 OR 3 1/5
3. (a + 1)/(a - 1) = 5/6
cross multiply
6(a + 1) = 5(a - 1)
distribute
6a + 6 = 5a - 5
subtract 5a from both sides
a + 6 = -5
subtract 6 from both sides
a = -11
4. (1/3)x - 4 = (2/3)x + 6
multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions
x - 12 = 2x + 18
subtract x from both sides
-12 = x + 18
subtract 18 from both sides
-30 = x
You solve for y and get
y=3/4x-5
Slope is 3/4
Y intercept is -5
