tan(72)= \frac{y}{x}  ; tan(55)= \frac{y}{2.2 + x}
y=xtan(72);y=(2.2+x)tan(55)
So we are to merge the two equations into one, since both of the equations are equal to y. a = b, b = c therefore, a = c.
xtan(72)=2.2tan(55)+xtan(55)
We are to isolate x.
x[tan(72)-tan(55)]=2.2tan(55)
x=\frac{2.2tan(55)}{tan(72)-tan(55)}
The value of x is approximately, 1.9047m
Then, substitute the value of x from y=xtan(72)
y=1.9047tan(72)
y = 5.862m
Round up, then the answer would be D.

What are the endpoint coordinates for the midsegment of △PQR that is parallel to PQ¯¯¯¯¯?
andriy [413]

Answer:

M(x₄ ,y₄) = (-3.5 , 0.5)  and

N (x₅ ,y₅) = ( -1 , -0.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the endpoint coordinates for the mid segment of △PQR that is parallel to PQ be

M(x₄ ,y₄) and N(x₅ ,y₅) such that MN || PQ

point P( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -3 ,3 )

point Q( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (2 , 1 )

point R( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (-4 , -2)  

To Find:

M(x₄ ,y₄) = ?  and

N (x₅ ,y₅) = ?

Solution:

We have Mid Point Formula as

Mid\ point(x,y)=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2})

As M is the mid point of PR and N is the mid point of RQ so we will have

Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{3} }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{3} }{2})

Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(\frac{x_{2}+x_{3} }{2}, \frac{y_{2}+y_{3} }{2})

Substituting the given value in above equation we get

Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(\frac{-3+-4 }{2}, \frac{3+-2} }{2})

∴ Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(\frac{-7} }{2}, \frac{1}{2})

∴ Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(-3.5, 0.5)

Similarly,

Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(\frac{2+-4 }{2}, \frac{1+-2 }{2})

∴ Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(\frac{-2 }{2}, \frac{-1}{2})

∴ Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(-1, -0.5)

∴ M(x₄ ,y₄) = (-3.5 , 0.5)  and

  N (x₅ ,y₅) = ( -1 , -0.5 )
