It's irrational.
An irrational number divided by a rational number will result in an irrational number
Answer:
You would need to know the area and the base so then
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = -2x/3 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
A(0,1), B(2,4)
slope of AB = (yb-ya)/(xb-xa) = (4-1)/(2-0) = 3/2
Slope of perpendicular to AB
m = -1/(3/2) = -2/3
Point to lie on perpendicular, P(0,2)
Equation of perpendicular, point-slope form
(y-yp) = m(x-xp)
y-2 = -(2/3)(x-0)
y = -2x/3 + 2
I drew it out below (don't you just love my effort? XD)
You're gonna use the sine trig function to find the length of the shadow
sin26 / 1 = 43 / x; now you cross multiply
sin26 x = 43; divide both sides by sin26
x = 43 / sin26
x = 98 which is the shadow
Hope this helps!
