It is given that Joe was being exposed to an electromagnet shrinking machine. Because of this his height started decreasing .

Given,

The decrease was at a constant rate per second.

In 1.5sec, the height is decreased by 120cm.

So,

Variation per second =

Change in each second would be with negative sign indicate's decrease .

Hence, Answer is “-80” .

Hope it's helpful to you.

What is the length of BC , rounded to the nearest tenth?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Step $1$

In the right triangle ADB

<u>Find the length of the segment AB</u>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$AB^{2} =AD^{2}+BD^{2}$

we have

$AD=5\ units\\BD=12\ units$

substitute the values

$AB^{2}=5^{2}+12^{2}$

$AB^{2}=169$

$AB=13\ units$

Step $2$

In the right triangle ADB

<u>Find the cosine of the angle BAD</u>

we know that

$cos(BAD)=\frac{adjacent\ side }{hypotenuse}=\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{5}{13}$

Step $3$

In the right triangle ABC

<u>Find the length of the segment AC</u>

we know that

$cos(BAC)=cos (BAD)=\frac{5}{13}$

$cos(BAC)=\frac{adjacent\ side }{hypotenuse}=\frac{AB}{AC}$

$\frac{5}{13}=\frac{AB}{AC}$

$\frac{5}{13}=\frac{13}{AC}$

solve for AC

$AC=(13*13)/5=33.8\ units$

Step $4$

<u>Find the length of the segment DC</u>

we know that

$DC=AC-AD$

we have

$AC=33.8\ units$

$AD=5\ units$

substitute the values

$DC=33.8\ units-5\ units$

$DC=28.8\ units$

Step $5$

<u>Find the length of the segment BC</u>

In the right triangle BDC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BC^{2} =BD^{2}+DC^{2}$

we have

$BD=12\ units\\DC=28.8\ units$

substitute the values

$BC^{2}=12^{2}+28.8^{2}$

$BC^{2}=973.44$

$BC=31.2\ units$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$BC=31.2\ units$
