You need to find the width of the stream. You cannot measure the width directly, so you draw a diagram showing lengths that you

can measure. Your diagram contains two similar triangles, one in the stream and one on land. Use the diagram to find the width of the stream.

I believe it is a) 22.4 feet.  I looked at the comparison between the 6 feet and the width of the lake and a) seemed to make the most sense.

You are given that the diagram contains two similar triangles.

Two similar triangles have proportional sizes of corresponding sides.

Then the ratio between smaller legs is the same as the ratio between greater legs:

\dfrac{x}{6}= \dfrac{28}{7.5},\\ \\x=\dfrac{28\cdot 6}{7.5}=22.4\ ft.

Answer: correct choice is A.

Given RT below, if S lies on RT such that the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, find the coordinates of S.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

S(-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached below,=. Frim the diagram, the coordinate of R and T are (-5, 3) and (-1, -5) respectively. If the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, the coordinate of S can be gotten using the midpoint segment formula as shown;

S(X, Y) = {(ax1+bx2/a+b), (ay1+by1/a+b)} where;

x1 = -5, y1 = 3, x2 = -1, y2 = -5, a = 3 and b =1

Substitute the values into the formula;

X = ax2+bx1/a+b

X = 3(-1)+1(-5)/3+1

X = -3-5/4

X = -8/4

X = -2

Similarly;

Y = ay2+by1/a+b

Y = 3(-5)+1(3)/3+1

Y = -15+3/4

Y = -12/4

Y = -3

Hence the coordinate of the point (X, Y) is (-2, -3)

Can someone please help me ASAP​
deff fn [24]

Answer:

QR = 17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ RST is a 5- 12- 13 triangle with hypotenuse RT = 13 cm , then

TS = 5 cm and PT = 2 × 5 = 10 cm

So PS = 10 + 5 = 15 cm

PS is parallel to the vertical line from vertex Q and intersects the horizontal line projected from SR of length 20 - 12 = 8 cm

Using the right triangle formed calculate QR using Pythagoras' identity

QR² = 15² + 8² = 225 + 64 = 289 ( take square root of both sides )

QR = \sqrt{289} = 17

Use a net to find the surface area of the right triangular prism shown below:
AnnZ [28]
I don't exactly know what a net is, but I can figure out the surface area (maybe). When you put this pattern together, you have to make a couple of assumptions.
First of all the 2 triangles are connected to a base that's 8 by 13. 
Base
The area of the base = 8 * 13 = 104 square feet.

Two Triangles.
The area of any triangle is 
Area = 1/2 b * h
Area = 1/2 *12 * 5
Area = 30 square feet. There are 2 triangles so ...
The total area of both is 60 square feet.

Overlap
Now we come to the tough part.  how big is it from the first dotted line to the second one?
The answer is 5. But why? Well the 5 comes from the the length of the side that has to be covered by this pattern. The 5 is part of the triangle. 

How far across is the dotted line? The answer is 8. Why again? That's the width of the whole prism or pattern.
So the area between the two dotted lines is 5 * 8 = 40

Finally the area over the 12. 
The question is how far is it from the second dotted line to the last boundary? The answer is 12. And it's width is 8
So the area = 12 * 8 = 96

Total area
96 + 60 + 40 + 104 = 300 square feet.

Jeff is baking a cake. The recipe says that he has to mix 32 grams of vanilla powder to the flour. Jeff knows that 1 cup of that
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Jeff went over by 53.33 grams or 53\frac{1}{3} grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeff is baking a cake. The recipe says that he has to mix 32 grams of vanilla powder to the flour.

Jeff knows that 1 cup of that particular vanilla powder has a mass of 128 grams.

He added \frac{2}{3} of a cup of vanilla powder to the flour.

So, he added a mass of \frac{2}{3} \times128= 85.33 grams of vanilla.

As the recipe says, it needs 32 grams of vanilla so Jeff went over by 85.33-32=53.33 grams.

Jeff went over by 53.33 grams or 53\frac{1}{3} grams.
