Considerando la estatura de Fernando, la longitud de su sombra y la distancia con respecto a la lámpara, la altura de la lámpara encendida es de 7.20 metros. (Opción correcta: A)

<h3>Cómo aplicar el concepto geométrico de proporcionalidad</h3>

En la geometría Euclídea el concepto de proporcionalidad está asociado con el concepto de semejanza entre triángulos. Esta relación subyace en el hecho que si tenemos garantizado que existen un número suficiente y conocido de valores y características comunes entre los dos triángulos, entonces podemos determinar los valores faltantes.

En esta pregunta tenemos dos triángulos rectángulos que son semejantes, por ende, proporcionales. Por la definición de proporcionalidad derivamos la siguiente expresión para la altura de la lámpara:

<em>h/H = x/X</em>     (1)

Donde:

  • <em>h</em> - Estatura de Fernando, en metros.
  • <em>H</em> - Altura de la lámpara, en metros.
  • <em>x</em> - Longitud de base del triángulo menor, en metros.
  • <em>X</em> - Longitud de base del triángulo mayor, en metros.

A continuación, reemplazamos las variables conocidas y determinamos la altura de la lámpara:

1.80<em>/H</em> <em>=</em> 2<em>/</em>8

<em>H =</em> 4 · (1.80 m)

<em>H =</em> 7.20 m

Considerando la estatura de Fernando, la longitud de su sombra y la distancia con respecto a la lámpara, la altura de la lámpara encendida es de 7.20 metros. (Opción correcta: A)

In square ABCD, point M is the midpoint of side AB and point N is the midpoint of side BC. What is the ratio of the area of tria
ipn [44]

Answer:

1:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in square ABCD, point M is the midpoint of side AB and point N is the midpoint of side BC.

Let the side of the square be a.

Area of square ABCD = a^2

The triangle AMN is having two legs of a right triangle as half of side of the square

i.e. Triangle AMN has base = height = a/2

So area of triangle AMN = \frac{1}{2} bh\\=\frac{a^2}{8}

Ratio of the area of triangle AMN to area of square ABCD

= 1:8

Find the area of a cell phone screen with an 8 inch diagonal that has an aspect ratio of 2:3.
12345 [234]
If the sides were 2 and 3 then using Pythagoras the diagonal would be sr(2^2 + 3^2) = sr(13)

The actual diagonal is 8 inches so the sides need to be scaled by 8/sr(13)

The screen area will be 2 x 8/sr(13) x 3 x 8/sr(13) = 29.539....
Rounded to nearest sq.inch this is 30 sq.inch
