Answer:
An imaginary line would need to be drawn at any angle to the center of the side opposite the angle to reflect across an axis of symmetry so that a regular pentagon can carry onto itself. Hope this answer helps.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Y component of velocity is 70 sin 30°
y position = 3 + 70 sin 30° * t - 1/2 a t^2
when the ball hits the ground y = 0
0 = 3 + 70 sin 30° t - 1/2 (32.2)t^2
- 16.1 t^2 + 35t + 3 = 0
Use Quadratic Formula to find t = <u>2.26 seconds</u>
Horizontal component of initial velocity
70 cos 30° distance horizontal = 70 cos 30° * t
= 70 cos 30° (2.26) =<u> 137.0 ft</u>
If you're only provided with the lengths of a triangle, and you're asked to determine whether or not the triangle is right or not, you'll need to rely on the Pythagorean Theorem to help you out. In case you're rusty on it, the Pythagorean Theorem defines a relationship between the <em>legs</em> of a right triangle and its <em>hypotenuse</em>, the side opposite its right angle. That relationship is a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is its hypotenuse. To see if our triangle fits that requirement, we'll have to substitute its lengths into the equation.
How do we determine which length is the hypotenuse, though? Knowledge that the hypotenuse is always the longest length of a right triangle helps here, as we can clearly observe that 8.6 is the longest we've been given for this problem. The order we pick the legs in doesn't matter, since addition is commutative, and we'll get the same result regardless of the order we're adding a and b.
So, substituting our values in, we have:
(2.6)² + (8.1)² = (8.6)²
Performing the necessary calculations, we have:
6.76 + 65.61 = 73.96
72.37 ≠ 73.96
Failing this, we know that our triangle cannot be right, but we <em>do </em>know that 72.37 < 73.96, which tells us something about what kind of triangle it is. Imagine taking a regular right triangle and stretching its hypotenuse, keeping the legs a and b the same length. This has the fact of <em>increasing the angle between a and b</em>. Since the angle was already 90°, and it's only increased since then, we know that the triangle has to be <em>obtuse</em>, which is to say: yes, there's an angle in it larger than 90°.
