I'm sorry but I'm confused, Is the rope connected like A or B, if it's connected like the picture A then it's 5.8ft but if connected like B then it is 7.6ft

Answer:

The length of the rope is 7.6 ft ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, The line segment AB shows the length of the pole, ( where A is the top and B is the bottom ) and line segment AC shows the rope,

According to the question,

AB = 3.5 ft,

BC = 6.8 ft,

Since, the pole must be vertical with respect to the ground,

That is, ∠ABC = 90°,

Thus, by Pythagoras theorem,

AC² = AB² + BC²

⇒ AC² = 3.5² + 6.8² = 12.25 + 46.24 = 58.49,

⇒ AC = √ 58.49 = 7.64787552 ≈ 7.6 ft

Hence, the length of the rope is approximately 7.6 ft.

Given a triangle ABC at A = ( - 1, 3 ) B = ( 1, - 1 ) C = ( 2, 2 ) and if the triangle is rotated 90 ° clockwise about the point
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The coordinates of A' are (6,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that in triangle ABC, A = (-1, 3), B = (1, - 1) and C = (2, 2).

If a point is rotated 90 ° clockwise about the point ( a,b ), then

(x,y)\rightarrow ((y-b)+a,-(x-a)+b)

It is given that the triangle is rotated 90 ° clockwise about the point ( 4, 1 ). So, a=4 and b=1.

(x,y)\rightarrow ((y-1)+4,-(x-4)+1)

(x,y)\rightarrow (y+3,-x+5)

The coordinates of A are (-1,3), So, the coordinates of A' are

A(-1,3)\rightarrow A'(3+3,-(-1)+5)

A(-1,3)\rightarrow A'(6,6)

Therefore the coordinates of A' are (6,6).

What is the product 4n/4n-4 n-1/n+1
olga_2 [115]
4n/4n-4 × n-1/n+1
= 4n(n-1)/(4n-4)(n+1)
= (4n^2 - 4n)/(4n^2 + 4n - 4n-4)
= (4n^2 - 4n)/(4n^2 - 4)
= 4(n^2 - n)/4(n^2 - 1)
=(n^2 - n)/(n^2 - 1)

A=x
B= 2x
C=3x
If you add them up =
6x =180
÷6 both sides
x=30
A=30
B=60
C=90
one angle is 90 degrees so the triangle is classified as a right triangle
