Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I attached an image to aid the understanding of the question.
Looking at the image, we see that the 8 shaded parts are congruent, as affirmed in the question as well. And we are told that T = 3, this implies that the area of the square with T as it's side is 9ft². Since all the 8 squares are congruenrt, it means each square has its area to be 9. Therefore, the total area of the 8 shaded squares will be:
It remains the area of the shaded square with side S.
From the question, we have the following ratio:
I did not add ± because length is always positive, so the case of negative is eliminated.
Now the areas of S is
Therefore, the total area of the shaded squares is
Answer:
A tiny but horrible alien is standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower (which is 324 meters tall) and threatening to destroy the city of Paris! A Men In Black agent is standing at ground level, 54 meters across the Eiffel square, aiming his laser gun at the alien. At what angle, in degrees, should the agent shoot his laser gun? Round your final answer to the nearest tenth
The agent shoot his laser gun at 80.5 degree.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height at which the horrible alien is standing = 324 m
Distance from the (tower) where the agent is = 54 m
According to the question:
Men In Black agent is aiming his laser gun to shoot the horrible alien.
Let the angle at which the agent shoot his gun be " Ф "
As from the situated depicted we can draw a right angled triangle.
Using trigonometric ratios:
tan (Ф) = opposite/ adjacent
In triangle OPQ .
The adjacent side = 54 m
The opposite side = 324 m
⇒ Plugging the values.
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
Nearest tenth it is 80.5 degrees.
So,
Men In Black must shoot the laser gun at an angle of 80.5 degrees.
