In your own words explain why you need to first find the common denominator when adding/subtracting fractions and you do not nee

d to find a common denominator when multiplying/division fractions, ie why don’t you need to find a common denominator when multiplying/dividing fractions?

You need a common denominator while subtracting because really a fraction is a division problem and you cannot do 4/5-8/9 it does not make sense as for multiplication you really just multiplying everything that is why it makes sense.

he vertices of a triangle are P(-3,8), Q(-6,-4), and R(1,1). Name the vertices of the image reflected in the X-axis
klemol [59]

Answer:

P'(-3, -8), Q'(-6, 4), R'(1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you reflect a point (x, y) across the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate gets the opposite sign: it becomes (x, -y).

Thus, if a point P, say, (-3, 8) is eightn units above the x-axis, its reflection P' will be the same distance below, at (-3, -8).

Thus, we get the following transformations.

P (-3, 8)   ⟶ P' (-3, -8)

Q (-6, -4) ⟶ Q' (-6, 4)

R (1, 1)      ⟶ R' (1, -1)

Thus, the vertices of the reflected triangle are P' (-3, -8), Q' (-6, 4), R' (1, -1).

The image below shows ∆PQR and its reflection ∆P'Q'R' across the x-axis.

I hope I helped! Also, one thing when you adding decimals or multiplying them, pretend the decimal point isn't even there. Then, once you have your answer, you just add the decimal in the middle. Basically just adding like in first grade! Super easy and I hope I helped!

A 50 ft flagpole is mounted to the top of a building. If the angle of elevation from a spot on the street to the top of the pole
monitta

Answer:

the height of the building = 91.67161722 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the height of the building (BC) = X feet.

A 50 ft flagpole (AB) is mounted to the top of a building.

So, height of the top of flag above the ground (AC) = (X+50) feet.

If the angle of elevation from a spot (P) on the street to the top of the pole is 58 degrees and the angle of elevation from the same spot (P) to the bottom of the pole is 46 degrees.

It means ∠APC = 58° and ∠BPC = 46°.

Considering Right triangle ΔACP, cot(∠APC) = PC / AC.

PC = AC*cot(∠APC) = (X+50)*cot(58°)

Considering Right triangle ΔBCP, cot(∠BPC) = PC / BC.

PC = BC*cot(∠BPC) = X*cot(46°)

We have PC = PC.

X*cot(46°) = (X+50)*cot(58°)

0.965688774 * X = 0.624869351 * (X+50)

(0.965688774 - 0.624869351) * X = 0.624869351 * 50

0.340819422 * X = 31.2434676

X = 31.2434676 / 0.340819422 = 91.67161722 feet.

Hence, the height of the building = 91.67161722 feet.
