Because similar triangles has congruent corresponding angle measures
Trigonometry can be used to find angles and sides of simple triangles. If an 18-foot ladder touches a building 14 feet up the wall then the angle can be deduced by trigonometry. In this case, the ladder defines the hypotenuse (H) of the triangle and the wall defines the opposite (O) side of the triangle. Therefore we can use the equation theta=sin^-1(O/H) . This yields an angle of 51 degrees.
Answer:
135
Step-by-step explanation:
15 x 9 = 135
L1: 2x+4y-3=0 ..........(1)
P: (2,0)
The point on the line L1 closest to the given point P is at the intersection of L1 with L2, which is the perpendicular passing through P.
Slope of L1=-2/4=-1/2
Slope of L2=-1/(-1/2)=2
Since it passes throug P(2,0), we can use the point-slope formula:
(y-0)=2(x-2) =>
L2: 2x-y-4=0.............(2)
Solve for x & y using (1) and (2) to get intersection point required:
(1)-(2)
2x-2x + 4y-(-y) -3 -(-4) =0
5y=-1, y=-1/5
Substitute y=1/5 in equation (1)
2x+4(-1/5)-3=0 =>
2x-19/5=0
x=19/10
=> the point on L1 closest to (2,0) is (19/10, -1/5)
B. (4, 4) is a solution to the equation.
