Yes - they have to be similar. Since they are using the same line as the hypotenuse, the ratio of the other two sides are in the same ratio (ie, the slope of the line), the 3 inner angles will be the same. Thus, the triangles will be similar.
Answer:
is at a distance of 722 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
we have the angle that forms between the water and the imaginary line between the ship and the tip of the statue
we have the statue height that would be the opposite leg to our angle and we want to know the distance of the ship to the statue that would be the adjacent leg
we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)
well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legas and the hypotenuse
a: adjacent
o: opposite
h: hypotenuse
sin α = o/h
cos α= a/h
tan α = o/a
it's the tangent
tan α = o/a
we replace the values and solve
tan α = o/a
tan 22.9 = 305/a
a = 305/tan22.9
a = 305/0.4224
a = 722
is at a distance of 722 feet
825 meters away
i think bit too sure
Answer:
y = 5/4x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
when you plot 4, -4 you have your first clue and point. then go up 5 and right 4 or down5 and left 4. When you go down you will reach the y intercept. On the number- 9. So -9 is your y intercept which goes in b.
Since 5/4 goes in the mx since it is slope the answer is y = 5/4 - 9
