Tanα=h/x, tanß=h/(x+88)

solving both for x

x=h/tanα, x=h/tanß-88, since x=x

h/tanα=h/tanß-88

h/tanß-h/tanα=88

(htanα-htanß)/(tanα*tanß)=88

h(tanα-tanß)/(tanα*tanß)=88

h=88(tanα*tanß)/(tanα-tanß)

Since α=32 and ß=22...

h=88(tan32*tan22)/(tan32-tan22)

h≈85.3 feet

Point F is at (0, -10) and point H is at (-6, 5). Find the coordinates of point G on line segment FH such that the ratio of FG t
Tanya [424]

Answer:

G(x,y)=(-4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the section formula:

(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

Given:

F(x_1,y_1)=(0, -10)\\H(x_2,y_2)=(-6, 5)\\FG:GH=m:n=2:1

We substitute the values to get:

G(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{2*-6+1*0}{2+1}, \dfrac{2*5+1*-10}{2+1}\right)\\=\left(\dfrac{-12}{3}, \dfrac{10-10}{3}\right)\\=\left(\dfrac{-12}{3}, \dfrac{0}{3}\right)\\\\G(x,y)=(-4,0)

MissTica

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

the coordinate of I :

H = 8+I /2

-3 = 8+I /2

8+I = 2×(-3)

8+ I = -6

I = -6-8

I = -14
