Answer:
The diagonal of the base is 4√5 centimeters.
The area of a base is 40 square centimeters.
The area of a lateral side between the bases is about 126.5 square centimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you know the whole price for 2.4 gallons, divide the whole price by 2.4 to get the cost for one, because when you multiply the cost for 1 by 2.4, you get the total.
7.56/2.4 = 3.15,
p= 3.15
The solution is (5, 15)
Multiply the second equation by 2 and then add through.
3x + 2y = 45
8x - 2y = 10
-----------------
11x = 55
x = 5
Then plug in to get the y value
3(5) + 2y = 45
15 + 2y = 45
2y = 30
y = 15
Answer:
12x +8y +1 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
You can write the equation by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Then compute the constant that makes the line go through the given point. You can do that like this:
3(x-(-3/4)) +2(y -1) = 0
3x +9/4 +2y -2 = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses
3x +2y +1/4 = 0 . . . . . . . simplify
To eliminate the fraction, multiply by 4:
12x +8y +1 = 0

<em>Comment on the equation</em>
The line ax+by=0 passes through the origin. Replacing x and y with x-h and y-k, respectively, makes the line pass through the point (h, k). That's what we did above to make the line pass through the given point.
The business of swapping coefficients and negating one causes the slope of the new line to be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. That is what makes the new line perpendicular to the original.
