Answer: F
Step-by-step explanation:
For a 30-60-90 triangle, we know that the hypotenuse is 2x. Since we know the hypotenuse is 10, we can solve for x.
2x=10
x=5
Now that we know x is 5, we can use this to solve for s and q. The side across from 30° is just x. Since we know x, s is 5.
The side across from 60° is x√3. Since we know what x is, we can just plug in. q is 5√3.
X = Can/Bottle height, y = Shadow length
x = 13 cm, y = 7.5 cm
x = 2.5 cm, y = 14.2 cm
I'm assuming your question is asking for an equation to model this. Since there are only two data points the only equation that can be made is linear
y = mx + c
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) <- Let 14.2 be y2, and 2.5 be x2 (it is important)
m = (14.2 - 7.5)/(2.5 - 13)
m = 6.7/-10.5
m = -0.638
y = -0.638x + c
To find c we can sub any one of the two coordinates, i'm choosing (2.5,14.2)
14.2 = -0.638(2.5) + c
14.2 = -1.595 + c
14.2 + 1.595 = c
15.795 = c
So the final equation is y = -0.638x + 15.795
He could have wrote -2.5 or -3.
