By applying <em>reflection</em> theory and constructing a <em>geometric</em> system of two <em>proportional right</em> triangles, the height of the stainless steel globe is approximately 140 ft.

<h3>How to estimate the height of the stainless steel globe</h3>

By physics we know that both the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are same. Thus, we have a <em>geometric</em> system formed by two <em>proportional right</em> triangles:

5.6 ft / 4 ft = h / 100 ft

h = (5.6 ft × 100 ft) / 4ft

h = 140 ft

By applying <em>reflection</em> theory and constructing a <em>geometric</em> system of two <em>proportional right</em> triangles, the height of the stainless steel globe is approximately 140 ft.

Will the following two equations have a solution? Explain. y = 3x + 5 y = 3x - 7
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

There is no solution because the slopes of the two lines are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5 = 3x - 7

-3x        - 3x             Subtract 3x from both sides

5 ≠ - 7                      No solution

Can someone please help me with this?!
Alinara [238K]

Answer: y=\frac{1}{4}x-3


Step-by-step explanation:

- The equation of the line in the slope intercept form is: y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line

- Let's choose two points of the line: (8,-1) and (-4,-4).

- You must calculate the slope of the line as following:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-4-(-1)}{-4-8}=\frac{1}{4}

- As you can see in the graph attached, the line intersects the y-axis at -3, then b=-3.

- Substituting values into the equation of the line, you obtain:

y=\frac{1}{4}x-3

Find each product by distributing.<br> (2a - 5)(a? – 2a + 1)
Westkost [7]

Answer:

A = 1 , 1 , \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation as

(2a -5) (a² -2a +1) = 0

Or, (2a - 5) (a - 1 )² = 0

Or, (2a - 5) (a - 1) (a - 1) = 0

So, value of a are :

2a - 5 =0,    a - 1 =0,    a- 1 = 0

i.e     a = \frac{5}{2}

and   a = 1 , 1
