For a project in his Geometry class, Ryan uses a mirror on the ground to measure the height of his school’s football goalpost. He walks a distance of 12.15 meters from the goalpost, then places a mirror on flat on the ground, marked with an X at the center. He then walks 3.4 more meters past the mirror, so that when he turns around and looks down at the mirror, he can see the top of the goalpost clearly marked in the X. His partner measures the distance from his eyes to the ground to be 1.35 meters. How tall is the goalpost? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a meter.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4.82 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The mirror reflects light at the same angle the light hits it, so the triangles formed by the line of sight, the ground, and the objects involved are similar. This means corresponding lengths are proportional.

  height/mirror distance = T/12.15 = 1.35/3.4

Multiplying by 12.15, we find the top of the goalpost to have a height of ...

  T = 12.15(1.35/3.4) ≈ 4.82 . . . meters

The goalpost is about 4.82 meters high.

You want to combine like terms :). This means the terms that are the same will be added or subtracted depending on their sign at the beginning.
1) x^2 +x+3-4x
Rearrange first to put like terms together

X^2 +x-4x +3

Your answer to a would be…
x^2 -3x+3

HELP. the staircase at the lighthouse tower has between 80 and 90 steps. if matt goes 2 steps at a time then 1 step is left at the end. If he goes 3 steps at a time then 2 steps are left. If he goes 4 steps at a time then 3 steps are left. How many steps are in the staircase?

Answers

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

start from the beginning, then if you go 2 steps at a time, then you have 1 step left over at the end, let's assume the length of the stair case is x, so then we will be going up 2/3x steps, and have 1/3 x steps left.

2/3 x = somewhere between 80 and 90, so that means it must be divisible by 3, so 81,84,87,90

3/5 x ==> only 90

In the xy-coordinate plane shown, line L passes through point C and has a slope of -2. A dilation of line L with center A and a scale factor of 3 will produce a new through point C’, the image of point C with coordinates

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation of a line about a point not on the line shifts the line but leaves the slope intact .

New line slope will be -2

As both A and C lie on a horizontal line y = 2, C' will also lie on the same line

The distance between A and C is 0 - 2 = -2

a scale factor of 3 means C' is -2(3) = -6 units left of A

C' = (2 - 6, 2) = (-4. 2)

Solve equation [2] for the variable y

[2] y = -2x + 1

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]

[1] (-2x+1) + 4x = -3

[1] 2x = -4

// Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] 2x = - 4

[1] x = - 2

// By now we know this much :

y = -2x+1

x = -2

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = -2(-2)+1 = 5

Solution :

{y,x} = {5,-2}

Answers

Answer:

Not quite in proof format but here's a short explaination. You should be able to fill out the table yourself.

It is given that <T=<Y and <V+<U=180 degrees

<T=<Y are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent when the two lines (that the third line crosses to make a transversal) are parallel. So, l1 and l2 are parallel.

<V+<U are supplementary angles. They are same side interior angles. Same side interior angles are supplementary when two lines of the transversal are parallel (basically same thing as above, just different type of angle). So, l3 and l4 are parallel.

<R=<U because they are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent when the two lines are parallel (you have proved that l3 and l4 are parallel above).

<P=<C because they are alternate exterior angles. Alternate exterior angles are congruent when the two lines are parellel (you have proved that l1 and l2 are parallel above).
