Hi
Note using < for angle does not work in the translation for this site.
|ac| has another meaning than for side lengths of triangles,
might recommend just using 'ac'
In a triangle abc,|ac|=16cm,|bc|=10cm, ∠bac=30 degrees. If ∠abc = 90 degrees, find |ab|
ac is across from the right angle and therefore length 16cm is the hypotenuse
Pythagorean Theorem applies: ac = sqrt(16cm^2 - 10cm^2) = 12.49cm

Linear-equations/397345: I am trying to decide wether each pair of lines is Perpendicular, parallel, or neither. 2x-y=5, 2x+y=3
I have worked out:
2x-y=5
2x-y-5=5-5
2x-y-5=0
2x-y+y-5=0+y
2x-5=y
I plugged 2 in for x
2(2)-5=y
4-5=y
-1=y
2x+y=3
2x+3=y
Plugged in 2 for x again
2(2)+3=y
4+3=y
7=y
In my book it says that the answer is neither Perpendicular or parallel but I don't understand why that is. I thought if you were solving for y the coefficient of x is the slope so wouldn't the slope on both be 2? 1 solutions

Hi
2x-y = 5 OR y = 2x - 5 |good work!
2x+y=3 OR y = -2x + 3 |note subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation
Yes!! solving for y, the coefficient of x is the slope
to be parallel, line must have same slope
to be ⊥, lines must have slopes that are negative 'reciprocals' of one another
Neither is the case, therefore the lines are neither parallel or perpendicular.
However, Yes!, they do intersect at Pt (2,-1)...have that point in common

(a) b + 32
(b) 12b
(c) 32b
(d) 8b + 4
translate the verbal sentence into an equation and solve. the sum of a number and 16 is 31.
(a) 16 + 31 = x,x = 47
(b) x + 16 = 31,x = 15
(c) x + 16 = 31,x = 47
(d) 16 + 31 = x,x = 15
translate the verbal sentence into an equation and solve. the difference of 22 and a number is 8.
(a) y - 22 = 8,y = 30
(b) 22 - y = 8,y = 30
(c) y - 22 = 8,y = 14

Hi
simplify the expression. 16 + (x + 4) = x + 20
simplify the expression. (8 * b) * 4 = 32b
the sum of a number and 16 is 31.
x + 16 = 31 |subtracting 16 from both sides of equation
x = 15 | x is equal to 15
the difference of 22 and a number is 8.
22 - y = 8 |subtracting 8 and adding y to both sides of equation
14 = y | y is equal to 14
Note: when solving, we must isolate the variable on one side of the equation,
so as, we can 'read' the solution

Functions/397332: Find the intersection of the line through the points (7,10) and (4,2) with the line y=x. The point of intersection is (A,B) where A=? and B=? 1 solutions

Hi
Using the point-slope formula, to find slope
(7,10) and
(4,2) m = 8/3, the slope of the line containg these points
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
y = (8/3)x + b |using ordered pair Pt(4,2) to solve for b
2 = 32/3 + b
-26/3 = b
y = (8/3)x -20/3
Pt(5,5) is the point of intersection of these lines according to the graph
CHECKING our Answer:
x = (8/3)x -20/3, 3x = 8x - 20, 20 = 5x, x = 5 and y = 5 (y = x)

Rectangles/397253: "The area of a square is 45 square centimeters. How long is the width?"
I tried taking 45 and finding the square root but, that only lead to 6.74687654387357, or something like that, and the answers are A-22 sqrt( 5 ) cm,
B-2 sqrt( 10 ) cm, C-20cm, D-10cm, E- 3 sqrt( 5 ) cm
After i saw this i tried finding perfect square roots that divided equally into 45 i think 9 is the only one so would the answer be E? 1 solutions

Hi, have plotted respective images with a larger circle.
The idea being if one were to fold along line referenced, points would 'match' up
Hope this helps
image of A(-2, 3)
i) x-axis (-2,-3)
ii) y-axis (2,3)

image of A(-2, 3)
iii) y = x (3,-2)
iv) y = -x (-3,2)

image of A(-2, 3)
v) x = 1 (4,3)
vi) y = -2 (-2,-7)

image of A(-2, 3)
vii) y = -x + 5 (2,7)
