Answer:
- The arcs on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Explanation:
I think about the Golden Gate Bridge, which is a suspension bridge.
As in any suspension bridge, a long cable is supported by two large supports.
The cable falls from a support, in the form of a curve concave upwards, to a minimum point that is the vertex of the<em> parabola</em>, through which the axis of <em>symmetry</em> passes, and curves again upwards to ascend to the upper end of the other support.
As a <em>unique feature</em> of this parabolic arc you can tell that the the concavity is upward; the parabola open upward.
Also, you can tell that the parabola is vertical, which means that the axis of symmetry is vertical.
The <em>symmetry</em> is clear because to the curve to the left of the vertex is a mirror image of the curve to the right of the vertex.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, one way is to convert one of the numbers to the other. For example, if I have 3/5 and 0.5, I could convert 3/5 to a decimal. So, I would have 0.6 (3/5 converted to a decimal), and 0.5. Next, I would just add the two together to get my answer of 1.1
Answer: 173.26 ft = 173 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
h tree: 76 ft
h man: 6 ft
As we can see on the sketch, they form a right triangle, so:
tan 22 = 76/y ⇒ 0.404 = 76/y ⇒ y = 76*0.404 ⇒ y = 188.11 ft
tan 22 = 6/x ⇒ 0.404 = 6/x ⇒ x = 6*0.404 ⇒ x = 14.85 ft
distance between the man and the tree = y - x = 188.11 - 14.85 = 173.26 ft
