In similar triangles ratios of corresponding sides are constant, so

|AB|/|DE| = |BC|/|EF|

5/10 = 8/|EF|

|EF| = (8*10)/5 = 16

|EF| = 16

First we find the measurement of dark dot .

ANd for that we have to use the formula of the angle formed by the intersection of chord .

Let the dark dot be t.

So we have

$t =\frac{1}{2} (96+66)=81$

t and z are linear pair and sum of angles of linear pair =180 degree.

So we get

$t+z=180 \\ 81+z =180 \\ z = 180-81 =99 degree$

An engineer is designing a fountain that shoots out drops of water. The nozzle from which the water is launched is 3 meters abov

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

After 3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$h(t) = -5t^2 + 14t + 3$

Required

Time the drop will hit the ground

When the drop hits the ground,

$h(t) = 0$

So, we have:

$0 = -5t^2 + 14t + 3$

Rewrite as:

$5t^2 - 14t - 3 = 0$

Expand

$5t^2 + t - 15t - 3 = 0$

Factorize

$t(5t + 1) -3(5t + 1) = 0$

Factor out 5t + 1

$(t -3)(5t + 1) = 0$

Split

$t -3 = 0$ or $5t + 1 = 0$

Solve for t

$t = 3$ or $5t = -1$

Time cannot be negative.

So:

$t = 3$
