The distance between the pair of parallel lines by the equations.

Answer to Problem 54SPR
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Find the distance between the pair of parallel lines with the given equations.
Calculation:
The given equations:
Find the value of
The slope of a line perpendicular to both the lines will be
To find the point of intersection of the perpendicular and the second line, solve the equations:
Use the value of
So, the point of intersection is
Use the distance formula to find the distance between the points
Therefore, the distance between the two lines is about

- Can someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
