Answer:
(2,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that triangle PQR lies in the xy-plane, and coordinates of Q are (2,-3).
Triangle PQR is rotated 180 degrees clockwise about the origin and then reflected across the y-axis to produce triangle P'Q'R',
We have to find the coordinates of Q'.
The coordinates of Q(2,-3).
180 degree clockwise rotation about the origin then transformation rule
The coordinates (2,-3) change into (-2,3) after 180 degree clockwise rotation about origin.
Reflect across y- axis the transformation rule
Therefore, when reflect across y- axis then the coordinates (-2,3) change into (2,3).
Hence, the coordinates of Q(2,3).
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
Let h the height of the hill. =
At position A, the angle of elevation is 40°, and the horizontal distance to the foot of the hill is x.
By definition,
tan(40°) = h/x h = x tan40 = 0.8391x
(1)
At position B, Joe is (x - 450) ft from the foot of the hill. His angle of elevation is
40 + 18 = 58°.
By definition, tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)
h = (x - 450) tan(58°) = 1.6003(x-450)
h = 1.6003x - 720.135 (2)
Equate (1) and (2).
1.6003x - 720.135 = 0.8391x 0.7612x = 720.135
x = 946.0523
From (1), obtain
h = 0.8391*946.0523 = 793.8 ft
Answer: The height of the hill is approximately 794 ft (nearest integer)
