Point B on the ground is 5 cm from point E at the entrance to Ollie's house.
Ollie is at a distance of 2.45 m from the entrance to his house when he first activates the sensor.
The complete question is as follows:
Ollie has installed security lights on the side of his house that is activated by a sensor. The sensor is located at point C directly above point D. The area covered by the sensor is shown by the shaded region enclosed by triangle ABC. The distance from A to B is 4.5 m, and the distance from B to C is 6m. Angle ACB is 15°.
The objective of this information is:
- To find angle CAB and;
- Find the distance Ollie is from the entrance to his house when he first activates the sensor.
The diagrammatic representation of the information given is shown in the image attached below.
Using cosine rule to determine angle CAB, we have:

Here:





∠CAB = Sin⁻¹ (0.3451)
∠CAB = 20.19⁰
From the diagram attached;
- assuming we have an imaginary position at the base of Ollie Standing point called point F when Ollie first activates the sensor;
Then, we can say:
∠CBD = ∠GBF
∠GBF = (CAB + ACB)
(because the exterior angles of a Δ is the sum of the two interior angles.
∠GBF = 15° + 20.19°
∠GBF = 35.19°
Using the trigonometric function for the tangent of an angle.




BF = 2.55 m
Finally, the distance of Ollie║FE║ from the entrance of his bouse is:
= 5 - 2.55 m
= 2.45 m
Therefore, we can conclude that Ollie is at a distance of 2.45 m from the entrance to his house when he first activates the sensor.

The Approximate the solution to the equation using three iterations of successive approximation is option b: 27/8.
<h3>What is the
iterations about?</h3>
In the equation given:
Note that:
x²-3x+2 = square root √x-2 + 2
Therefore:
x⁴-6x³+9x²= square root x-2
x² = 3.375
Convert 3.35 into fractions and will get 27/8. So, The Approximate the solution to the equation using three iterations of successive approximation is option b: 27/8.

Hello there! I can help you! So, we would shift two units to the right, which means that we would subtract, and we go down 7 units, which would also make us subtract. For the original equation of y = x - 3, the line would only go down 3 units. The line of the original equation does not go left or right, because there are no absolute value signs between it. With the equation translation of 7 units, you would go down anouther 7 units, and 7 + 3 is 10. So the equation of the new line is y = |x - 2| - 10.
The original equation is where the line infinitely when up and down on a slanted line. In other words, it has no vertex. In the new equation, however, the graph has a vertex, and the lines go up from there. Both graphs have the same slope, except that for the left side of the new equation, the slope is -1, because the line goes down.
