In the afternoon, the person (who is 1.8 m tall) casts a shadow that is 10 m. The distance along the ground from the person (H) to the tree (G) is 24 m, and the distance from the tree (G) to the building (F) is 150 m. Calculate the height of the tree and the building. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a meter and show all your work.
Answers
Answer:
The height of the tree is 6.12 meters and the height of the building is 33.12 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the person is 1.8 meters tall, HC = 1.8
And since their shadow is 10 meters long, HD = 10.
We are also given that GH is 24 meters and that FG is 150 meters.
Height of the Tree:
The height of the tree is given by GB.
Again, since m∠BGD = m∠CHD = 90°, ∠BGD ≅ ∠CHD.
Likewise, ∠D ≅ ∠D. So, by AA-Similarity:
[tex]\displaystyle \Delta BGD\sim \Delta CHD[/tex]
Corresponding parts of similar triangles are in proportion. Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{GB}{GD}=\frac{HC}{HD}[/tex]
Note that:
[tex]GD=GH+HD[/tex]
Find GD:
[tex]GD=(24)+(10)=34[/tex]
Substitute the known values into the proportion:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{GB}{34}=\frac{1.8}{10}[/tex]
Cross-multiply:
[tex]10GB=61.2[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]GB=6.12\text{ meters}[/tex]
The height of the tree is 6.12 meters.
Height of the Building:
The height of the building is given by FA.
Since m∠AFD = m∠CHD = 90°, ∠AFD ≅ ∠CHD.
∠D ≅ ∠D. So, by AA-Similarity:
[tex]\Delta AFD\sim \Delta CHD[/tex]
Corresponding parts of similar triangles are in proportion. Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{FA}{FD}=\frac{HC}{HD}[/tex]
Note that:
[tex]FD=FG+GH+HD[/tex]
Find FD:
[tex]FD=(150)+(24)+(10)=184[/tex]
Substitute the known values into the proportion:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{FA}{184}=\frac{1.8}{10}[/tex]
Cross-multiply:
[tex]10FA=331.2[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]FA=33.12\text{ meters}[/tex]
The height of the building is 33.12 meters.

Which is the graph of y - 3 = -2/3(x + 6)?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y - 3 = -2/3(x + 6) Remove the brackets on the right
y - 3 = -2/3x - 2/3 * 6 Simplify the right
y - 3 = -2/3x - 4 Add 4 to both sides
y = - 2/3 x - 1
I'm going to enclose the graph. Pick the one that has a y intercept at (0,-1) and and an x intercept of (-1.5, 0)goes from the lower right to the upper left as the graph below shows.

Step-by-step explanation:
It is easier to construct the center using a compass and straightedge (and pencil). The center is where the medians meet. A median is drawn from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
A ruler can be used. It is easier if it combines full- and half-scale markings on the same edge. This will let you find the midpoint of a side quickly.
With a compass and straightedge, the usual process of constructing the bisector of a line segment is used.
Si: Tg θ =√2 ∧ θ es agudo √7 Calcular: A = 3(Sen θ + Cos θ) - √7
Answers
Answer:
[tex]A \approx 1.488[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Por definición de razones trigonométricas, tenemos las siguientes identidades:
[tex]\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} = \sqrt{2}[/tex] (1)
[tex]\sin \theta = \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}[/tex] (2)
[tex]\cos \theta = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}[/tex] (3)
Si [tex]\theta[/tex] es agudo, entonces [tex]x, y > 0[/tex].
De (1), suponemos [tex]x = 1[/tex] que [tex]y = \sqrt{2}[/tex], entonces los valores de las funciones seno y coseno:
[tex]\sin \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{5} }[/tex]
[tex]\sin \theta = \frac{\sqrt{10}}{5 }[/tex]
[tex]\cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{1}{5} }[/tex]
[tex]\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}[/tex]
Por último, calculemos [tex]A[/tex]:
[tex]A = 3\cdot \left(\frac{\sqrt{10}}{5} + \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5} \right) - \sqrt{7}[/tex]
[tex]A \approx 1.488[/tex]

Write an equation in
slope-intercept form that
passes through (-6, -2)
and has a y-intercept
located at y= -5
Answers
Answer:
y = -1/2 x -5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope intercept form of an equation is
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
We know b
y = mx-5
Substitute the values of x and y into the equation to determine the slope
-2 = m(-6) -5
Add 5 to each side
-2+5 =-6m
3 = -6m
Divide by -6
3/-6 = m
The slope is -1/2
y = -1/2 x -5

Let the quantity of rice that can be bought with Rs 525 be = x
Rice ( kg) Cost (Rs)

x 525
[tex]\frac{50}{x} = \frac{375}{525} \\\\x \times 375 = 50 \times 525\\\\375x = 26250\\\\x = \frac{26250}{375} = 70 \ kg[/tex]
