Dereck and Sam are standing 3.1 feet apart.

The situation forms two right angle triangle.

<h3>What is a right angle triangle? </h3>

A right angle triangle is a triangle that has one of its angles as 90 degrees.

Derek looks at a 10 foot basketball goal with an angle of elevation of 29°.

Sam looks at the goal with an angle of elevation of 43°.

Sam is directly in front of Dereck. Therefore,

Dereck distance from the base of the basket ball can be found as follows:

tan 29 = opposite / adjacent

opposite side = 10 ft - 5.83 ft = 4.17 ft

tan 29  = 4.17 / x

x = 4.17 / 0.55430905145

x = 7.52287913948

x = 7.523

Sam distance from the base of the basket ball can be found as follows

tan 43 = 4.17 / y

y = 4.17 / 0.93251508613

y = 4.47177752084

y = 4.471

There feet apart = 7.523 - 4.471 = 3.052  = 3.1 feet

Given: Lines a and b are parallel and line c is a transversal. Prove: Angle2 is supplementary to Angle8 Horizontal and parallel
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Corresponding angles theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

Type of lines of lines a and b = Horizontal and parallel lines

The transversal to a and b = Line c

The angles between a and c labelled clockwise from the upper left quarter segment =  1, 2, 4 and 3

The angles between b and c labelled clockwise from the upper left segment =  5, 6, 8 and 7

Therefore, we have;

Statement   {}                                                   Reason

1. a║b, c is a transversal   {}                             Given

2. ∠6 ≅ ∠2       {}                                              Corresponding angles theorem

3. m∠6 = m∠2       {}                                         Definition of congruent

4. ∠6 is supp. to ∠8        {}                               Definition of linear pair

5. ∠2 is supp. to ∠8        {}                               Congruent supplement theorem

Corresponding angles are the angles located in spatially similar or matching corners of two lines that have been crossed by the same transversal. When the two lines having a common transversal are parallel, the corresponding angles will be congruent.

Jen earns $8 per hour. He gets a raise of 3.5%. How much is his raise?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

His raise is $.28 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate his raise, we multiply how much he is making by the percent of his raise

raise = 8*3.5%

Change to decimal form

raise = 8 *.035

raise = .28

His raise is $.28

A computers random number generator produces random integers from 1 - 50. What is the probability that the first three integers
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

9/50

Step-by-step explanation:

There are nine single digit numbers from integers 1-50 so in order to calculate the probability of getting 3 random numbers from 1-50 to be single digits:

Probability = number of favorable outcomes /total number of outcomes

Therefore Probability of getting 3 single digits randomly from 1-50 = 9/50
