Suppose you are standing on the edge of a canyon that is 400 meters high, where two sides of the canyon are at the same height a

nd the walls of the canyon are perfectly vertical. The angle of depression to the bottom of the other side of the canyon is 14.3 degrees. Find the distance to the other side of the canyon. Ignore the height in the computations.

Set up a right triangle. the height is one side of triangle, its length is 400.
The angle opposite to the 400 is 14.3 degrees. The adjacent side is distance across, "x"

Use tangent ratio
tan(14.3) = \frac{400}{x}

x  = \frac{400}{tan (14.3)}

Answer:

When a Triangle is Dilated taking one of the vertices as the center of dilation

There are two Possibility, either Dilation factor will be (0<Dilation factor<1), or greater than 1.

1. When,0< Dilation Factor < 1

Size Of Preimage < Size of Image

2. When Dilation Factor > 1

Size Of Preimage > Size of Image

Find the inverse, please help.
igomit [66]
Replace f(x) with y

Y = 2x -5

Swap roles of x

X= 2y-5

5+x =2y

Divide by 2

5+x /2 = y

Replace y with inverse f^-1(x)

Answer= f^-1(x) = 5+x / 2

Find the measure of ∠5.<br><br> Given:<br> ∠4 = 37°<br> ∠8 = 62°
Lisa [10]

Answer:

99

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometry is not my best subject but here's what I did:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 so if we add 4 and 8 we can get angle 6

--> 180 - (37+62)

--> 180 - 99

---> 81

The sum of the angles on a line intersected at a point = 180

180 - 81 = Angle 5

Angle 5 = 99
