For a project in his Geometry class, Tyler uses a mirror on the ground to measure the height of his school building. He walks a distance of 14.65 meters from his school, then places a mirror on flat on the ground, marked with an X at the center. He then steps 0.8 meters to the other side of the mirror, until he can see the top of the school clearly marked in the X. His partner measures the distance from his eyes to the ground to be 1.15 meters. How tall is the school? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a meter.

For A Project In His Geometry Class, Tyler Uses A Mirror On The Ground To Measure The Height Of His School

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the school building is approximately 21.06 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The method of Geometry Tyler is using to determine the height of his school building is through the property that similar triangles have a common ratio of corresponding their sides

The given parameters for the triangle formed by Tyler and the mirror are;

The distance from Tyler's eyes to the ground = 1.15 meters

The horizontal distance between Tyler and the mirror at X = 0.8 m

The parameters of the triangle formed by the height, h, of the school building and the mirror at X are;

The horizontal distance between the school building and the mirror = 14.65 m

The height of the school building = h

Therefore, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{The \ distance \ from \ Tyler's \ eyes \ to \ the \ ground}{The \ height \ of the \ school \ building} =\dfrac{Tyler's \ horizontal \ distance \ from \ mirror }{The \ building \ to \ mirror \ horizontal \ distance }[/tex]Therefore;

[tex]\dfrac{1.15 \, m}{h} = \dfrac{0.8 \ m}{14.65 \ m}[/tex]

[tex]h = \dfrac{1.15 \, m \times 14.65 \, m }{0.8 \, m} = 21.059375 \ m[/tex]

The height of the school building h to the nearest hundredth meter ≈ 21.06 m.

9x+23= 10x+6

Subtract 9x from each side

9x+23 -9x= 10x-9x+6

Would the function ƒ(x) = 4 be considered a step function? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

A step function is a function that looks like stairs when you graph it. Normally the end of one line will be graphed as an open circle (less or greater than, not equal to) while the other end would be a closed circle. This allows for a new line of the function to start directly above it without it not being a function (an input cannot have two outputs)

The function f(x)=4 is just a horizontal line as it has a slope of 0 (there is no x on the right side of the equation), so this doesn't resemble a step function.

Jessie brought 3 1/5?cups of water on
a hike. If he drinks 2/5 cup of water
each hour, how many hours will he
have water for?

Answers

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/5 cups, he drinks 2/5 cups every hour

to find the number of hours he has water for, divide the 2 numbers

3 1/5 = 16/5

16/5 divided by 2/5 is equal to 16/5 times 5/2

80/10 equals 8, so he will have water for 8 hours

help please! how do I calculate the coordinates of point a so that at is an altitude?

Answers

Part (a)

Since we want segment AT to be an altitude, this means that point A is somewhere on segment RI such that angle TAI is 90 degrees. In other words, segments AT and RI are perpendicular. Check out the diagram below.

We'll need to find the slope of line RI, so we'll need the slope formula

R = (x1,y1) = (-2,-2)

I = (x2,y2) = (4,1)

m = slope of line RI

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (1-(-2))/(4-(-2))

m = (1+2)/(4+2)

m = 3/6

m = 1/2

m = 0.5

The slope of line RI is 1/2 or 0.5

Now let's use point R(-2,-2) along with that slope we just found to find the equation of line RI.

Turn to point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-2) = 0.5(x -(-2))

y + 2 = 0.5(x + 2)

y + 2 = 0.5x + 1

y = 0.5x + 1 - 2

y = 0.5x - 1

This is the equation of line RI. We'll use it later.

----------

We found that the slope of line RI was 1/2.

The negative reciprocal involves us flipping the fraction and flipping the sign to get -2/1 or simply -2.

The perpendicular slope is -2. This is the slope of altitude AT.

We want line AT to go through T(-2,4), so we'll use this point along with the perpendicular slope we just found to calculate the equation of line AT.

We'll turn to the point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = -2(x - (-2))

y - 4 = -2(x + 2)

y - 4 = -2x - 4

y = -2x - 4 + 4

y = -2x

The equation of the line that goes through points A and T is y = -2x.

----------

To summarize so far, we have these two equations

y = 0.5x - 1 .... equation of line RIy = -2x .... equation of line AT

Apply substitution to solve for (x,y) to find the intersection point. This will determine where point A is located.

y = 0.5x - 1

-2x = 0.5x - 1

-2x-0.5x = -1

-2.5x = -1

x = -1/(-2.5)

x = 0.4

Then we can determine y like so

y = -2x

y = -2(0.4)

y = -0.8

Therefore, point A is located at (0.4, -0.8). Both coordinate values are exact. In fraction form, we can say that the point is (2/5, -4/5), but I find decimals easier to work with in this instance.

Answer:  (0.4, -0.8)

===============================================================

Part (b)

To find the length of segment AT, we can find the distance from A to T. As you can probably guess, we'll use the distance formula.

A = (x1,y1) = (0.4, -0.8) ... found back in part (a)

T = (x2,y2) = (-2, 4) ... given

[tex]d = \sqrt{ (x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2 }\\\\d = \sqrt{ (-2-0.4)^2+(4 - (-0.8))^2 }\\\\d = \sqrt{ (-2-0.4)^2+(4 + 0.8)^2 }\\\\d = \sqrt{ (-2.4)^2+(4.8)^2 }\\\\d = \sqrt{ 5.76+23.04 }\\\\d = \sqrt{ 28.8 }\\\\d \approx 5.36656\\\\d \approx 5.37\\\\[/tex]

The distance from point A to point T is approximately 5.37 units. This means that segment AT is roughly 5.37 units long.

Answer: 5.37 units

of a right angle triangle to radian measure and can some anybody help me by looking one old question from my profile help please​

Answers

a right angle is 90°, or 1/4 of a circle.

3/5 * 1/4 = 3/20

radian measure is the length of the circumference of this part of the circle.

a full circumference of a circle would be 2*pi*r, also expressed as 2 rad * r

now let's multiply the full thing with the 3/20 from earlier to just get the desired fraction:

6/20 rad * r

= 3/10 rad * r

of course a solution in cm or inch still depends on the radius here, wich could be just plugged in at will

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3\pi }{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To express degrees in radians

radian measure = degree measure × [tex]\frac{\pi }{180}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of a right angle

= [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] × 90° = 54° , then

radian = 54 × [tex]\frac{\pi }{180}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{54}{180}[/tex] × π = [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] × π = [tex]\frac{3\pi }{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the figure= 3 * (Volume of a cube with side 2)

Volume of the figure= 3*2^3=24 in^3

Answer:

24 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding volume is b*h*w.

b*h*w is base multiplied my height multiplied my width. Lets use this formula to find the volume of one of cubes.

Here is the information we know about the cubes:

the base is 2 inches

the height is 2 inches

the width is 2 inches

Lets put this information into the formula to find the volume of one of the cubes. I will show the work in steps so it is easy to follow.

Step one: plug the given information into the formula.

b*h*w = 2*2*2

Step two: Solve the equation.

2*2*2 = 4*2 = 8

Now we have the volume of one on the cubes. This is 8 cubic inches. However, to find the volume of all three of the cubes we must multiply 8 by 3.

Step three: multiply 8 by 3.

8*3 = 24

And there you have it! Our final answer is 24 cubic inches.

Here is a quick review of what we did to get our answer:

2*2*2 = 8

8*3 = 24

there are 108 flowers. 1/9 of them bloomed. How many did not bloom? How many did?

Answers

Answer:

96 flowers did not bloom and 12 did.

Explanation:

Total flower = 108

Number of flower that bloomed

= ⅑ of the total flowers

= ⅑ of 108

= ⅑ × 108

= 108/9

= 12

So, number of flowers that did not bloom

= Total flowers - Number of flowers that bloomed

= 108 - 12

= 96

So, 96 flowers did not bloom and 12 flowers did.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to try to get rid of the ().

To do this:

15 * 3 and 15 * x

This makes 45 and 15x after the = , so the formula is now:

15x + 45 = 45 + 15x

Now get the 15x to the left side. When a number switches sides, it becomes negative when positive and positive when negative. So in this case 15x will become -15x and the 45(on the left) becomes - 45

15x - 15x = 45 - 45

Answer: 0

15x + 45 = 45 + 15x
15x - 15x = 45 - 45

4.8 * 10^4 the decimal is shifted 4 places the right which is 48000 where you have no numbers, you use zeros.

2.01 * 10^6 means that you shift the decimal 6 places to the right.

So 2 million is larger than 48 thousand.

The other way to do it is just to look at the power. 6 is more than 4. 6 describes the number of places you move. So does 4. 6>4 so that's the larger number.
