A source of laser light sends rays AB and AC toward two opposite walls of a hall. The light rays strike the walls at points B an

d C, as shown below:
A source of laser light is at point A on the ground between two parallel walls. The walls are perpendicular to the ground. AB is a ray of light which strikes the wall on the left at point B. The length of AB is 60m.AC is a ray of light which strikes the wall on the right at point C which is 40m above the ground. The ray AB makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground. The ray AC makes an angle of 45 degrees with the ground.

What is the distance between the walls?

the options are
80
140
70
110

Well there is a lot of trigonometry in this. I will try my best.

Finding: Distance between Wall A and Wall B.

1. Trig and phythagorean properties for left triangle.
    30m

2. Trig and Pythagorean properties for right triangle.
     40m (approx)

30 + 40 = 70.

Therefore the distance is APPROXIMATELY 70 meters. I haven't learned trig yet so sorry if I am wrong.

Boat A is docked at (4.2, −2) and Boat B is docked at (−5.2, −2). The boats are ____ units apart.
Reil [10]

Answer:

9.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data'

We are given the coordinates

x1=4.2

x2=-5.2

y1=-2

y2=-2

Required

The distance between the points

Step two:

The expression for the distance is

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

substitute

d=√((-5.2-4.2)²+(-2+2)²)

d=√((-9.4)²

d= √88.36

d= 9.4 units

Andre and Diego were each trying to solve 2x+6=3x-8 Describe the first step they each make to the equation
avanturin [10]
The first step was the combine the like terms; in this example he is subtracting the 3x on both sides of the =.

If you were to solve the equation it would look like this:

2x+6=3x-8
-3x -3x

-x+6=-8
-6 -6

-x=-14
/-1 /-1

x=14
