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.

Which of these ordered pairs is a solution to the inequality
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

(1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you replace y and x with (1 and -1) you have -1 - 2^1 < -3

And that equals -3 if solved. The sign says equal to or less than, so you answer is (1, -1)

What is the sum of all measures of the interior angles of a regular pentagon?
Ugo [173]
There are 540 degrees total in the interior angles of a regular pentagon.

Just so you know, the total degrees of interior angles goes up by 180 degrees.

A triangle is 180 degrees, a quadrilateral 360, and a pentagon 540.

Determine the slope of the lines parallel and perpendicular to -4x+3y=11
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

parallel = 4/3

perpendicular =-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y

-4x+3y=11

Add 4x to each side

3y = 4x+11

Divide by 3

y = 4/3 x +11/3

This is in the form y = mx+b where m is the slope

m =4/3

The parallel line has the same slope

parallel slope is 4/3

The perpendicular line has a negative reciprocal slope

m = -(1 /4/3) = - 3/4
