A string is attached to opposite corners of a piece of wood that is 6 inches wide and 14
inches long (see figure). Set up an equation to determine the length of the string. Solve the
equation. (Answer should be in simplified radical form. Insert a math equation to type the
equation used and your answer)

2√58

Step-by-step explanation:

14^2+6^2=c^2

196+36=c^2

232=c^2

√232=c

2√58=c

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
