To find how far is the gazebo from the nature trail.
Answer to Problem 20E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
An equation of the line representing the nature trail is
Calculation:
It is given that gazebo is at
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line
Therefore the equation of line passing through
So the equation of line perpendicular to
Solving the above two equations −
The solution obtained i.e. point of intersection is
Now using the distance formula to calculate the distance between
Distance
Since ach unit in the coordinate plane corresponds to 10 feet, therefore the distance is
