An extremely large sink hole has opened up in a field just outside of the city limits. It is difficult to measure across the sin

k hole without falling in so you use congruent triangles. You have one piece of rope that is 50 ft. long and another that is 70 ft. long. You pick a point "A" on one side of the sink hole and "B" on the other side. You tie a rope to each spot and pull the rope out diagonally back away from the sink hole so that the two ropes meet at point "C" . Then you recreate the same triangle by using the distance from line "AC" and line "BC" and creating new segments CE and CD . The distance of line "DE" is 52.2 ft. 
What is the measure of angle ACB?

Triangle ABC and triangle DCE are congruent, so line DE = line AB

Use the cosine rule to find angle ACB
52.2^{2}= 50^{2}+  70^{2}-(2*50*70*cos(ACB))
2724.84=7400-(7000cos(ACB))
2724.84-7400=-7000cos(ACB)
-4675.16=-7000cos(ACB)
\frac{4675.16}{7000}=cos(ACB)
Angle ACB= cos^{-1} ( \frac{4675.16}{7000})
Angle ACB = 48.1°

Answer:

isosceles triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides. In the figure above, the two equal sides have length and the remaining side has length. . This property is equivalent to two angles of the triangle being equal. An isosceles triangle therefore has both two equal sides and two equal angles.

What are the steps of determine an inverse of a function?
Yuki888 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, replace f(x) with y . ...

Replace every x with a y and replace every y with an x .

Solve the equation from Step 2 for y . ...

Replace y with f−1(x) f − 1 ( x ) . ...

Verify your work by checking that (f∘f−1)(x)=x ( f ∘ f − 1 ) ( x ) = x and (f−1∘f)(x)=x ( f − 1 ∘ f ) ( x ) = x are both true.
