Answer:
55 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The mirror is 10 times as far to the dinosaur as it is to Amir: 40 ft = 10×4 ft.
The triangles shown in the diagram are similar, so the height of the dinosaur will be 10 times Amir's eye height. In feet, Amir's eye height is 5 6/12 feet, or 5.5 feet. Ten times that is 55 feet.
The dinosaur is 55 feet tall.
Answer:
2.17ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the sketch of ladder at the beginning and after 3 seconds it starts to fall,
Distance of ladder from the wall 3 seconds after ladder starts to fall = Initial distance+ Velocity× time
= 6 + 2×3
= 12ft
Use trignometry to find out the speed of the top of ladder
cosθ= 12/20
θ= 0.825 rad
tan θ= v/2
v= 2.17ft/s
284=2x+2(x+40)
284=4x+80
204=4x
51=x
dimensions 51 ft by 91ft
The answer is b because are congruent
If two similar triangles have side lengths 3cm and 7cm then we can determine that the scale factor for the lengths is: 7/3
Now, we have to work out the area scale factor !
This is simple, since area is given in cm² then all we have to do is square our original scale factor!
So,
7/3² = 49/9
So, we can say that the ratio of the area would be:
x : 49/9x
