Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The line BD divides a right angle into two acute angles <CBD + <DBA
They add to 90.
They are therefore complementary.
The word you are looking for is complementary.
See picture below for a geometric view.
Let x = height of building
We use basic trigonometry to find x.
The tangent function = opposite side of right triangle OVER adjacent side of right triangle.
tan(2°) = x/1
Solve for x.
After multiplying both sides by 1 (here 1 represents 1 mile), we get
tan(2°) = x.
We now use the calculator to find x.
In fact, you can take it from here. Use your calculator.
Answer:
3) 1 5/6 mi
4) a. 4 cm, 6 ft
b. 6.4 cm, 9.6 ft
c. same as part a
Step-by-step explanation:
3) Each of the given distances appears twice in the sum of side measures that is the perimeter. Hence by walking the perimeter twice, Kyle walks each of the given distances 4 times. His total walk is ...
4×1/3 + 4×1/8 = 4/3 + 4/8
= 1 1/3 + 1/2 = 1 2/6 + 3/6
= 1 5/6 . . . . . miles
___
4) Since the figure is rectilinear (all angles are right angles, and all sides are straight lines), the sum of partial dimensions in one direction is equal to the whole dimension in that direction.
a. 8 cm = 4 cm + x
8 cm - 4 cm = x = 4 cm
The distance in the room is ...
(4 cm)×(1.5 ft/cm) = 6 ft
b. 10.3 cm = 3.9 cm + y
10.3 cm - 3.9 cm = y = 6.4 cm
The distance in the room is ...
(6.4 cm)×(1.5 ft/cm) = 9.6 ft
c. The answer to part b was obtained in the same way as the answer to part a. The unknown dimension is the difference of given dimensions. The actual length in the room is the model length multiplied by the inverse of the scale factor.
