Point B on the ground is 5 cm from point E at the entrance to Ollie's house.
Ollie is at a distance of 2.45 m from the entrance to his house when he first activates the sensor.
The complete question is as follows:
Ollie has installed security lights on the side of his house that is activated by a sensor. The sensor is located at point C directly above point D. The area covered by the sensor is shown by the shaded region enclosed by triangle ABC. The distance from A to B is 4.5 m, and the distance from B to C is 6m. Angle ACB is 15°.
The objective of this information is:
- To find angle CAB and;
- Find the distance Ollie is from the entrance to his house when he first activates the sensor.
The diagrammatic representation of the information given is shown in the image attached below.
Using cosine rule to determine angle CAB, we have:

Here:





∠CAB = Sin⁻¹ (0.3451)
∠CAB = 20.19⁰
From the diagram attached;
- assuming we have an imaginary position at the base of Ollie Standing point called point F when Ollie first activates the sensor;
Then, we can say:
∠CBD = ∠GBF
∠GBF = (CAB + ACB)
(because the exterior angles of a Δ is the sum of the two interior angles.
∠GBF = 15° + 20.19°
∠GBF = 35.19°
Using the trigonometric function for the tangent of an angle.




BF = 2.55 m
Finally, the distance of Ollie║FE║ from the entrance of his bouse is:
= 5 - 2.55 m
= 2.45 m
Therefore, we can conclude that Ollie is at a distance of 2.45 m from the entrance to his house when he first activates the sensor.

I did this with a pencil and no calculator while my daughter was practicing her driving. Please let me know if you have trouble reading it. You'll have to add the calculator stuff yourself.
Answer: -1, 14, 62, 98
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Plug each x-value into the equation and solve for y

Step-by-step explanation:
Price of one shirt =?
Six packages of three t-shirt = 6 x 3 = 18 shirts
18 shirts = 71.39
1 shirt = 71.39/18
1 shirt = 3.966 or 4
Given that,
Length of 4 pieces of wood are 16.75 inches, 9 inches, 24.25 inches, and 12.5 inches.
To find,
The length of the strip of wood.
Solution,
Mark glues together four pieces of wood to make one long strip.
Long strip = The sum of 16.75 inches, 9 inches, 24.25 inches, and 12.5 inches.
L = 16.75 + 9 + 24.25 + 12.5
= 62.5 inches
Hence, the strip of wood is 62.5 inches long.
