b/a=c/d Two lines are parallel to each other if they have the same slope. So let's look at the options and see which one matches that statement. b/aâ‹…c/d=â’1 * This is checking to see if the two lines are perpendicular to each other. Almost the exact opposite of parallel. So this is the wrong answer. b/a=c/d * b/a is a legitimate slope. c/d is also a good slope. And they're being checked to see if they're equal to each other. So this is the correct answer. But let's see if the next two options will give us a chuckle or two. b/a=d/c * b/a is OK. d/c almost looks ok, check the figure. And d/c is NOT a slope. The slope is delta Y over delta X. And d/c is delta X over delta Y. The inverse of the slope. So comparing those two values is meaningless. So it's a wrong answer. b/aâ‹…d/c=â’1 * And they're trying the inverse of the slope trick again. WRONG. And they're checking if it's perpendicular. Also wrong. So definitely not a good choice.

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).

What is the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle ?

Which statements are true? check all that apply. the line x = 0 is perpendicular to the line y = –3. all lines that are parallel to the y-axis are vertical lines. all lines that are perpendicular to the x-axis have a slope of 0. the equation of the line parallel to the x-axis that passes through the point (2, –6) is x = 2. the equation of the line perpendicular to the y-axis that passes through the point (–5, 1) is y = 1.
