Two ocean beaches are being affected by erosion. The table shows the width, in feet, of each beach measured at high tide where 1

995 is represented by year 0: Year number Western Beach width (in feet) Dunes Beach width (in feet) 0 100 20 5 90 45 10 80 70 11 78 75 12 76 80 15 70 95 Describe the patterns shown by the erosion data measurements shown for each of the beaches in the table. Between which years will the beaches have approximately the same width? Assuming these rates remain constant, what can you do to get a better approximation of when the two beaches will have the same width?

Answer:

1. Western erodes 2 ft/yr; Dunes builds up at 5 ft/yr

2. Sometime in 2006

3. Solve simultaneous equations

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Erosion patterns

(a) Western Beach

In 15 yr, Western Beach erodes from 100 ft to 70 ft.

The rate of erosion is 30 ft/15 yr = 2 ft/yr.

(b) Dunes Beach

In 15 yr, Dunes Beach builds up from 20 ft to 95 ft.

The rate of buildup is 75 ft/15 yr = 5 ft/yr.

2. Beaches with equal width

From the table, it appears that the beaches will have the same width sometime in year 11 (2006).

3. Best approximation

The graph below also shows that it happens part way through year 11 (2006).

We could get an even better solution by calculating the equations of the two lines and solving the simultaneous equations.

zysi [14]

Answer:

The scale factor is

\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segmentAB has vertices A(−3, 4) and B(1, −2) .

A dilation, centered at the origin, is applied to AB. The image has vertices

A'(-1,4/3) and B′(1/3, −2/3) .

We know the rule for dilation by scale factor of k, is

(x,y)\to(kx,ky)

This means that;

A(-3,4)\to A'(-3k,4k)

But we know, A' has coordinates (-1,4/3)

This means that

- 3k =  - 1

k =  \frac{1}{3}

We could also compare:

4k=4/3

Which gives

k=⅓

A, B, C and D are four towns.
djverab [1.8K]

Three of the four towns are on the vertices of the triangle ΔCBD, through

which the bearing can calculated.

<h3>Response:</h3>
  • The bearing of D from B is approximately <u>209.05°</u>

<h3>Method by which the bearing is found;</h3>

From the given information, we have;

AC = AB = 25 km

∠BAC = 90° (definition of angle between north and east)

ΔABC = An isosceles right triangle (definition)

∠ACD = ∠ABC = 45° (base angles of an isosceles right triangle)

tan(\angle ABD) = \dfrac{45}{25}

  • \angle ABD = arctan \left(\dfrac{45}{25} \right)  \approx 60.945^{\circ}

The bearing of <em>D</em> from <em>B</em> is the angle measured from the north of <em>B</em> to the

direction of <em>D.</em>

<em />

Therefore;

  • The bearing of D from B ≈ 90° + (180° - 60.945°) = <u>209.05°</u>

How do i solve this?<br> I dont understand what the big number is to the small number
Gelneren [198K]

The red figure is smaller so it is a reduction.

To find the scale factor divide the length of the smaller shape by the length of the larger shape:

9/15 this can be reduced to 3/5

The Saxena family plans to install a light to illuminate part of their rectangular yard. Nikki and Dylan each proposed a differe
monitta

Options:

a. Nikki's proposed placement will light a greater area than Dylan's placement.

b.  Dylan's proposed placement will light a greater area than Nikki's placement.

c.  Both proposed placements will light the same sized area.

d. Nikki's proposed placement will light more than half the yard.

e. Dylan's proposed placement will light more than half the yard.

f.  Dylan's proposed placement will light exactly half of the yard.

g. Nikki's proposed placement will light less than half of the yard.

Answer:

C) Both proposed placements will light the same sized area.

F) Dylan's proposed placement will light exactly half of the yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is (base x height) / 2, and both lights illuminate the same base and height = (60 x 38) / 2 = 1,140 sq ft

Both Dylan's and Nikki's proposed placement will lit exactly half of the yard. The yard's total area = 60 x 38 = 2,280 sq ft, which is twice the area lit by the lights.
