Let's look at the corresponding ratios:

$\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{24}{30}=\frac{4}{5}\\\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{16}{20}=\frac{4}{5}\\\frac{AC}{EC}=\frac{21}{28}=\frac{3}{4}\\$

And we see that the three aren't equal.

Hence, $\Delta ABC$ and $\Delta EDC$ are not similar.

a boy is standing on a pole of height 14.7m throws a stone upwards. it moves in a vertical line slightly away from the pole and

fomenos

Answer:

The time taken for the upward motion is 1 second. The same time is taken for the downward motion

It reaches a maximum height of 4.9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of motion is:

$x(t) = -4.9t^{2} + 9.8t$

Since the term which multiplies t squared is negative, the graph is concave down, that is, x increases until the vertex, where it reaches it's maximum height, then it decreases.

Vertex of a quadratic equation:

Quadratic equation in the format $x(t) = at^{2} + bt + c$

The vertex is the point $(t_{v}, x(t_{v}))$ , in which

$t_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}$

In this question:

$x(t) = -4.9t^{2} + 9.8t$

So $a = -4.9, b = 9.8$

Vertex:

$t_{v} = -\frac{9.8}{2*(-4.9)} = 1$

The time taken for the upward motion is 1 second.

$x(t_{v}) = x(1) = 9.8*1 - 4.9*(1)^{2} = 4.9$

It reaches a maximum height of 4.9 meters.

Downward motion:

From the vertex to the ground.

The ground is t when x = 0. So

$-4.9t^{2} + 9.8t = 0$

$4.9t^{2} - 9.8t = 0$

$4.9t(t - 2) = 0$

$4.9t = 0$

$t = 0$

$t - 2 = 0$

$t = 2$

It reaches the ground when t = 2 seconds.

The downward motion started at the vertex, when t = 1.

So the duration of the downward motion is 2 - 1 = 1 second.

I have 90% after about 75%

kkurt [141]

The lowest grade he could earn is 120% of the grade at the end of the semester.

The following statement is given:

I have 90% after about 75% of the semester.

We are asked to find the lowest grade by the end of this semester.

<h3>What is Percentage?</h3>

A percentage is a number expressed as a fraction of 100.

- 50% = 50/100 = 1/2

- 25% = 25/100 = 1/4

- 20% = 20/100 = 1/5.

We can write this statement "I have a 90% grade after about 75% of the semester" as:

90% grade = 75% semester.............(1)

By the end of the semester means at 100% semester.

Multiplying equation (1) by 100/ 75 on both sides of the equation.

We get,

(100/75) x 90% grade = (100/75) x 75% semester

(100 x 90)/75 % grade = 100% semester

120% grade = 100%

Thus the lowest grade he could earn is 120% of the grade at the end of the semester.
