Answer:
The Trout will have to jump 49 cm in order to catch the insect
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the distance the Trout has to jump in order to catch the Insect
To calculate this, we need to know the difference in the distances
From what we have, the Trout is 32 cm below the surface while the Insect is 17 cm above the surface of the lake
The difference in height which will represent the distance that the Trout has to jump to catch the insect will be ;
17 + 32 = 49 cm
Answer:
UV=29
Step-by-step explanation:
In right triangles AQB and AVB,
∠AQB = ∠AVB ...(i) {Right angles}
∠QBA = ∠VBA ...(ii) {Given that they are equal}
We know that sum of all three angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degree. So wee can write sum equation for each triangle
∠AQB+∠QBA+∠BAQ=180 ...(iii)
∠AVB+∠VBA+∠BAV=180 ...(iv)
using (iii) and (iv)
∠AQB+∠QBA+∠BAQ=∠AVB+∠VBA+∠BAV
∠AVB+∠VBA+∠BAQ=∠AVB+∠VBA+∠BAV (using (i) and (ii))
∠BAQ=∠BAV...(v)
Now consider triangles AQB and AVB;
∠BAQ=∠BAV {from (v)}
∠QBA = ∠VBA {from (ii)}
AB=AB {common side}
So using ASA, triangles AQB and AVB are congruent.
We know that corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal.
Hence
AQ=AV
5x+9=7x+1
9-1=7x-5x
8=2x
divide both sides by 2
4=x
Now plug value of x=4 into UV=7x+1
UV=7*4+1=28+1=29
<u>Hence UV=29 is final answer.</u>
