Answer:

21 feet (20.977)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Draw a picture, it makes it much easier. Draw a right triangle with the vertical labeled 25 and the horizontal labeled X, then label the angle adjacent to the horizontal and hypotenuse 40°

2. Use tangent because X is opposite of 40 and 25 is adjacent to angle 40. the equation would be Tan40/1 = X/25

3. You then cross multiply to get 25Tan(40) = X

4 You then plug it into a calculator and get the full answer of 20.97749078, but I always round up to either 20.98 or 21 feet, whatever your teacher allows

I count five 'k's there, so that part of the expression is

                                     k⁵  .

Two 'n's form the rest of it, so that part is  n² .

The parts are multiplied, so the simplest form of the expression is

Triangle A″B″C″ is formed using the translation (x + 2, y + 0) and the dilation by a scale factor of one half from the origin. W
Travka [436]

Complete question:

Triangle A″B″C″ is formed using the translation (x + 2, y + 0) and the dilation by a scale factor of one half from the origin. Which equation explains the relationship between segment AB and segment A double prime B double prime?

A) segment a double prime b double prime = segment ab over 2

B) segment ab = segment a double prime b double prime over 2

C) segment ab over segment a double prime b double prime = one half

D) segment a double prime b double prime over segment ab = 2

Answer:

A) segment a double prime b double prime = segment ab over 2.

It can be rewritten as:

A"B" = \frac{AB}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are given triangle A″B″C which was formed using the translation (x + 2, y + 0) and the dilation by a scale factor of one half from the origin.

We know segment A"B" equals segment AB multiplied by the scale factor.

A"B" = AB * s.f.

Since we are given a scale factor of ½

Therefore,

A"B" = AB * \frac{1}{2}

A"B" = \frac{AB}{2}

The equation that explains the relationship between segment AB and segment A"B" is

A"B" = \frac{AB}{2}

Option A is correct

Y = -3x-2 Slope intercept form
lana66690 [7]

Answer:The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

What is the equation, in point slope form, of the line
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

y=3/2x+11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! Sorry  I just saw this

Anyways, let's continue

first, we need to find the equation of the line with the one that is (-2,-4) and (2,2)

first, we need to find the slope

the equation for slope is y2-y1/x2-x1

so let's label the points

x1=-2

y1=-4

x2=2

y2=2

now plug it in

2-(-4)/2-(-2)=6/4=3/2

now, let's turn it into a line

the point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1) (m=slope)

now, plug it in

y-(-4)=3/2(x-(-2))

simplify to

y+4=3/2(x+2)

turn into y=mx+b format

y+4=3/2x+3

subtract 4 on both sides

y=3/2x-1

Now for the line that is parallel.

Parallel lines have the same slopes, so you automatically know that the new line will be y=3/2x+b

To make sure (-3,1) is a solution to the point, put 1 as y and -3 as x

1=3/2(-3)+b

1=-9/2+b

add 9/2 on both sides

b=11/2 or 5.5

now, put it into the equation

y=3/2x+11/2

Hope this helps!
