let area of first triangle be A and B. A=2B --5 let height of A be P and B be H for first triangle A= P.S/2 --1 tan x = P/S --2 for second triangle B=H.s/2 --3 tan x= H/s --4 equating 2 = 4 -> P/S=H/s -> P/H=S/s equating 5 -> A=2B -> replacing 1 and 3 -> P.S/2=2.H.s/2 -> P/H=2.s/S -> S/s=2.s/S -> S^...

sorry but cybermusing seems easier. try breaking any given number into prime numbers. they tend to show a much more clearer relation

5^21 * 4^11 = 2 * 10^n
=> 5^21 * (2^2)^11 = 2 * 10^n
=> 5^21 * 2^22 = 2 * 10^n
=> 2 * 10^21 = 2 * 10^n
equating n on both sides
we have n=21

What is the smallest positive integer n for which 324 is a factor of 6^n? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5 E. 6 6^1 = (2^1)*(3^1) 6^n = (2^n)*(3^n) 324 = (2^2)*(3^4) So if 324 is a factor it should divide 6^n completely (without any remainder) 6^n / [(2^2)*(3^4)] = An Interger Thus n's minimum value is 4 f20012...

Unfortunately, my only explanation is drawing from what I read during GMAT prep a few months ago. Apparently the Pythagorean triangle that appears most frequently on the exam are those with sides of lengths 3:4:5 or multiples of such. I spent probably 15+ minutes trying to figure out how to even ap...

If a line is equi-distant from two points doesn't mean that it is passing through the middle. for example, if the two points lie on the same side of the line and are equidistant, then mid-point formula doesn't help . Your right, i tried that approach but the data seemed insufficient if we take that...

As said above it is important to see that it is the equation which is inside the mod value |a+4| not just a. This changes the question .

Since area must be 100 possible porduct are = 10 * 10 only so a line must of length 10 since it is to be a square, We get four square's with vertices on origin and square in each quadrant only . The diagonal length is = 2* (10)^(1/2) This is not an integer. so diagonals wont be on axis with integral...

let equation of line be = > y=mx+c

Since it passes origin (0,0) on replacing (x,y)
we have

=>y=mx
Mid point is ( (1+7)/2,(11+9)/2)= (4,9)

replacing in above eq. we have m= 2.25
so slope is 2.25
