the board is 56 inches long.
how i did this was
12 * 4 = 48
48 + 8 = 56
<em>hope this helps :)</em>
What is the flaw in Gina’s proof?
A) Points D and E must be constructed, not simply labeled, as midpoints.
B) Segments DE and AC are parallel by construction. THIS IS THE FLAW. THE SEGMENTS WERE NOT DRAWN NOR PROPERLY IDENTIFIED.
C) The slope of segments DE and AC is not 0.
D) The coordinates of D and E were found using the Distance between Two Points Postulate
Notice the picture below
so.... the angle of depression, is above in dashed lines.... however, the angle of depression, is identical to the angle of elevation from the water, since, both angles are "alternate interior" angles
now, using the 45-45-90 rule, then we know the swimmer is 90 feet from the lighthouse, then just use the tangent ratio to get "x"
Answer:
x = 12
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 16
x - y = 8
y + 8 = x
Replace x with y + 8 in the new equation
8 + 2y = 16 ----> we can minus 8 on both sides
2y = 8 -----> divide both sides by 2
y = 4
Now for the x value
x + 4 = 16 ----> minus 4 on both sides
x = 12
