Okay to find the perpendicular bisector of a segment you first need to find the slope of the reference segment.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) in this case:
m=(-5-1)/(2-4)
m=-6/-2
m=3
Now for the the bisector line to be perpendicular its slope must be the negative reciprocal of the reference segment, mathematically:
m1*m2=-1 in this case:
3m=-1
m=-1/3
So now we know that the slope is -1/3 we need to find the midpoint of the line segment that we are bisecting. The midpoint is simply the average of the coordinates of the endpoints, mathematically:
mp=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2), in this case:
mp=((4+2)/2, (1-5)/2)
mp=(6/2, -4/2)
mp=(3,-2)
So our bisector must pass through the midpoint, or (3,-2) and have a slope of -1/3 so we can say:
y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept, and given what we know:
-2=(-1/3)3+b
-2=-3/3+b
-2=-1+b
-1=b
So now we have the complete equation of the perpendicular bisector...
y=-x/3-1 or more neatly in my opinion :P
y=(-x-3)/3
Change the fraction to a improper fraction.
11/9 + 10/9
Since they have the same denominators you can add them.
11/9 + 10/9 = 21/9
The answer is 21/9
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
10 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to better understand this question, I will attach an allusive image to the question.
Keep in mind that in this case the base of the triangle is equal to the radius of the base of the cone since the triangle rotates on its own axis, therefore the measurement of the base corresponds to 10 cm, therefore the radius measures 10 cm.
