Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

The string, pole, and ground form a right triangle.  The hypotenuse of this triangle is 160 feet.  The base of the triangle is 50 feet.  The angle adjacent to the base can be found with cosine:

cos x = 50 / 160

x = acos(50 / 160)

x ≈ 72°

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a. 0.6 h

  b. 1.3 h

  c.  C -- No

  d. 4.2 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The relationship between time (t), speed (s), and distance (d) is ...

  t = d/s

The time spent running 4 miles at 7 miles per hour is ...

  t = (4 mi)/(7 mi/h) = (4/7) h ≈ 0.6 h

__

b. The time spent walking home is ...

  t = (4 mi)/(3 mi/h) = 4/3 h ≈ 1.3 h

__

c.  C -- No, less time is spent at 7 mi/h

__

d. The average speed is ...

   s = d/t = (4 mi +4 mi)/(4/7 h +4/3 h) = (8 mi)/(40/21 h) = 4.2 mi/h

Oksanka [162]
(\frac{9}{10}-\frac{2}{5})-\frac{1}{3}=\ \ \ \ \ | make\ a\ common\ denominator\\\\
(\frac{27}{30}-\frac{12}{30})-\frac{10}{30}=\ \ \ | omit\ the\ bracket\\\\\frac{27}{30}-\frac{12}{30}-\frac{10}{30}=\frac{27-12-10}{30}=\frac{5}{30}=\frac{1}{6}\\\ Solution\ is\ \frac{1}{6}.

Find the midsegment of triangle ABC so that it is parallel to side BC and label it as segment EG on the graph coordinate of E: _
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Coordinate of E: (-2,3) Coordinate of G: (2.5, 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to find the midpoints of AC and AB.

AC X coordinate:

X1+X2/2

Substitute the x points of AC in

1+(-5)/2=-2

AC Y coordinate:

Y1+Y2/2=3

Substitute the y points of AC in

5+1/2=3

You do the same thing with the AB line. I am pretty sure this works and I hope this helps!
