Answer: 19 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.
Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side
Where α is the angle of depression of the dog, the opposite side (16) is Ted's eye level above the ground, and the adjacent side (x) is the distance between the dog and the barn door.
Replacing with the values given:
tan40 = 16/x
Solving for x
x =16/tan40
x= 19 ft

Answer:
(b) 1.7 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a regular polygon in terms of perimeter and apothem is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2Pa
For a hexagon, the perimeter is 6 times the side length, so this becomes ...
A = 1/2(6s)a = 3sa . . . . . for side length 's' and apothem 'a'
__
Solving for the apothem, we find ...
a = A/(3s)
For the given values of area and side length the apothem is ...
a = 10.4/(3·2) = 1.733... ≈ 1.7 . . . inches
The apothem, rounded to tenths, is 1.7 inches.
Answer:
true!
Step-by-step explanation:
plug in 1.1
3 + 51(1.1) = 59.1
3 + 56.1 = 59.1
59.1=59.1
Answer:
A diagonal of this rectangle has length 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertices (-4, 4) and (-4, -4) have the same x-coordinate (-4) and different y-coordinates (4 and -4). These two points are the endpoints of a vertical side of the rectangle which has length 4 - (-4) = 8.
Similarly, the vertices (2, -4) and (-4, -4) have the same y-coordinate (-4) but different x-coordinates (2 and -4). To find the horizontal dimension of the rectangle, we calculate 2 - (-4), which comes out to 6.
Thus, the width of the rectangle is 6 and the length is 8.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we find the length of a diagonal as follows:
d = √(6^2 + 8^2) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10.
A diagonal of this rectangle has length 10.
