An aerial camera is suspended from a blimp and positioned at D. The camera needs to cover 125 meters of ground distance. If the

camera hangs 10 meters below the blimp and the blimp attachment is 20 meters in length, at what altitude from D to B should the camera be flown?
A blimp over triangle EDF with height of 10 meters and FE equals 20 meters and triangle ADC with height BD and AC equals 125 meters. Triangles share point D.

A. 31.25 m
B. 62.5 m
C. 150 m
D. 250 m

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: In ΔEDF, FE=20 m and height = 10 m. In ΔADC, AC=125 m.

From the given information, we conclude that AC║EF.

In ΔEDF and ΔADC,

\angle E=\angle A          (Alternate interior angles)

\angle EDF=\angle ADC          (Vertically opposite angle)

By AA rule of similarity,

\triangle EDF\sim \triangle ADC

The corresponding sides of two similar triangles are similar. So in ΔEDF and ΔADC,

\frac{base}{height}=\frac{FE}{h}=\frac{AC}{DB}

\frac{20}{10}=\frac{125}{DB}

2=\frac{125}{DB}

On cross multiplication, we get

2DB=125

Divide both sides by 2.

\frac{2DB}{2}=\frac{125}{2}

DB=62.5

Therefore the correct option is B.

Answer:

B. 62.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

∠EDF and ∠ADC are vertical angles, and therefore equal.

EF and AC are parallel, so ∠DEF and ∠DAC are alternate interior angles, as well as ∠DFE and ∠DCA.  Therefore, each pair is equal.

From this, we can say ΔDEF and ΔDAC are similar triangles.  So we can write a proportion:

10 / 20 = DB / 125

DB = 62.5

Find an equation for the line parallel to 3y+6X=6 and goes through the point (-3,-7) please write in y=mx+b
seropon [69]

Answer: y=-6x-25

Step-by-step explanation:

Find slope of original line by solving for y

3y+6x=6

y+6x=2

y = -6x+2 <--- we have found the slope is -6

Using y-y1 = m (x-x1) find the equation for the parallel line:

y-(-7)= -6(x-(-3)) <--- plug in the point coordinates and slope into the equation and solve for y

y+7=-6x-18

y=-6x-25

You roll a fair 6-sided die what is p (not 3)
Ulleksa [173]
As a fraction, the exact answer is 5/6
In decimal form, the approximate answer is 0.8333

To get this answer, note how there are 5 ways to roll something that isn't a three (1,2,4,5,6) out of 6 ways total (1,2,3,4,5,6)

So you simply divide the two values to get 5/6 = 0.8333
