A surveyor, Toby, measures the distance between two landmarks and the point where he stands. He also measured the angles between

the landmarks in degrees.
What is the distance, x, between the two landmarks? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

What we know so far:
Side 1 = 55m
Side 2 = 65m
Angle 1 = 40°
Angle 2 = 30°

What we are looking for:
Toby's Angle = ?
The distance x = ?

We need to look for Toby's angle so that we can solve for the distance x by assuming that the whole figure is a SAS (Side Angle Side) triangle.

Solving for Toby's Angle:
We know for a fact that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°; therefore,
180° - (Side 1 + Side 2) = Toby's Angle
Toby's Angle  = 180° - (40° + 30°)
Toby's Angle = 110°

Since we already have Toby's angle, we can now solve for the distance x by using the law of cosines r² = p²+ q²<span>− 2pq cos R where r is x, p is Side1, q is Side2, and R is Toby's Angle.
</span>
x² = Side1² + Side2² - 2[(Side1)(Side2)] cos(Toby's Angle)
x² = 55² + 65² - 2[(55)(65)] cos(110°)
x² = 3025 + 4225 -7150[cos(110°)]
x² = 7250 - 2445.44
x = √4804.56
x = 69.31m

∴The distance, x, between two landmarks is 69.31m

Which ordered pair would form a proportional relationship with the point graphed below?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

(5, 20)  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (40-0)/(10-0)

    = 40/10

    =4

Since the line goes through (0,0) the y intercept is 0

y = mx+b

y = 4x

Lets check the points  by substituting into the equation

40, 10)     10 = 4*40   10 =160  no

(–5, –10)    -10 = 4*-5    10 = -20   no

(5, 20)       20 = 4*5    20 = 20  yes

(–10, –20)    -20 = 4*-10    -20 = -40   no

Triangle JKL is transformed to create triangle J'K'L'. The angles in both triangles are shown.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle JKL is transformed to create triangle J'K'L'. The angles in both triangles are shown.

J = 90°, J' = 90°

K = 65°, K' = 65°

L = 25°, L' = 25°

In a rigid transformation the  image and pre-image are congruent. Reflection, translation and rotation are rigid transformation.

In a non rigid transformation the image and pre-image are similar. Dilation is a non rigid transformation.

In a rigid or a nonrigid transformation, the corresponding angles are same. If the corresponding sides are same, then it is a rigid transformation and if the corresponding sides are proportional, then it is a non rigid transformation.

It can be a rigid or a nonrigid transformation depending on whether the corresponding side lengths have the same measures.

Therefore option 3 is correct.
