Answer:

The correct answer is,

d = 300 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

From the figure we can see two similar triangles.

To find the value of d

It is given that, the ratio of d to 150 ft is the same as the ratio of 40 ft to 20 ft

d/150 = 40/20

d = (150 * 40)/20

d = 300

Therefore the value of d = 300 ft

What us the midpoint of A(-8,2) and B(4,-2)

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

(-2 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A(-8 , 2) = (x1 , y1)

B(4 , -2) = (x2 , y2)

midpoint = (x1 + x2/2 , y1 + y2/2)

=(-8 + 4/2 , 2-(-2)/2)

=(-4/2 , 2+2/2)

(-2 , 2)

(3 , 7) = (x1 , y1)

(9 , 2) = (x2 , y2)

distance of PQ = $\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(9 - 3)^2 + (2 - 7)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(6)^2 + (-5)^2}$

= $\sqrt{36 + 25}$

= $\sqrt{61}$

Answer:

z = 30; obtuse isosceles triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

4z + z + 30 = 180

5z + 30 = 180

5z (+ 30 - 30) = 180 - 30

5z = 150

5z/5 = 150/5

z = 30

Since z = 30, and 30 = 30, two angles are congruent to each other and there is only one obtuse angle. Therefore, this is an obtuse isosceles triangle.

Answer: $83\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{days}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{40\ \text{yards} \cdot \ 25\ \text{yards} }{12\ \text{yards}^2} = \dfrac{1000\ \text{yards}^2}{12\ \text{yards}^2}=\dfrac{1000}{12}=\dfrac{250}{3}=83\dfrac{1}{3}$
