Acompany paid $72 for 2 cases of printer paper each case contained 12 packages of paper next month the company's office manager needs to order 180 packages of the same paper if the price per package does not change would would the total cost of next month's order

To figure out the cost for 180 packages, you must first calculate how many packages they bought for $72. Since each case holds 12 packages, for $72, the company bought 24 packages (12×2). Then you have to divide 24 into 180 to figure out the cost for those 180 packages and get 7.5. To get the cost of the 180 packages, you must multiply 7.5 (the number of 24 packages that go into 180) by 72 (the cost of one group of 24 packages). You then get 540. The company must pay $540 for the 180 packages.

so the perpendicular line goes through the given pointyou would get a perpendicular line at some random location

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
