See attached diagram.
A right triangle is formed with the 350m adjacent to the 22° angle.
We want to find the height of the triangle, the side opposite.
We can use the tangent ratio (opposite/adjacent) to find this height.
tan(22°) = x/350
Multiply each side by 350
350tan(22°) = x ≈ 141.4 m

Predict: How do you think the formula for area of a triangle will relate to the formula for area of a rectangle? Do you
densk [106]

Answer:

I think is the same formula area .A triangle is half as big as the rectangle that surrounds it, which is why the area of a triangle is one-half base times height.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the relation length* width. The area of a triangle is given by the relation (1/2)*base* height. Now we know that the two have the same area equal to 150 cm^2. Also, when placed on the same level the tip of the triangle touches the upper edge of the rectangle.

Selena is 6 years younger than Paul. In 15 years, Paul will be 4 times the age that Selena is now. Find their present ages.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

<u>The ages of Paul and Selena are 13 and 7 years old.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of Paul = x

Age of Selena = x -6

Age of Paul and Selena in 15 years:

x + 15 = 4 (x - 6)

x + 15 = 4x - 24

x - 4x = -24 - 15

- 3x = -39

x = 13

<u>Paul now is 13 years old and Selena is 7 years old. In 15 years, Paul will be 28, that is 4 times the present age of Selena.</u>
