This is a little long, but it gets you there.

  1. ΔEBH ≅ ΔEBC . . . . HA theorem
  2. EH ≅ EC . . . . . . . . . CPCTC
  3. ∠ECH ≅ ∠EHC . . . base angles of isosceles ΔEHC
  4. ΔAHE ~ ΔDGB ~ ΔACB . . . . AA similarity
  5. ∠AEH ≅ ∠ABC . . . corresponding angles of similar triangle
  6. ∠AEH = ∠ECH + ∠EHC = 2∠ECH . . . external angle is equal to the sum of opposite internal angles (of ΔECH)
  7. ΔDAC ≅ ΔDAG . . . HA theorem
  8. DC ≅ DG . . . . . . . . . CPCTC
  9. ∠DCG ≅ ∠DGC . . . base angles of isosceles ΔDGC
  10. ∠BDG ≅ ∠BAC . . . .corresponding angles of similar triangles
  11. ∠BDG = ∠DCG + ∠DGC = 2∠DCG . . . external angle is equal to the sum of opposite internal angles (of ΔDCG)
  12. ∠BAC + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180° . . . . sum of angles of a triangle
  13. (∠BAC)/2 + (∠ACB)/2 + (∠ABC)/2 = 90° . . . . division property of equality (divide equation of 12 by 2)
  14. ∠DCG + 45° + ∠ECH = 90° . . . . substitute (∠BAC)/2 = (∠BDG)/2 = ∠DCG (from 10 and 11); substitute (∠ABC)/2 = (∠AEH)/2 = ∠ECH (from 5 and 6)
  15. This equation represents the sum of angles at point C: ∠DCG + ∠HCG + ∠ECH = 90°, ∴ ∠HCG = 45° . . . . subtraction property of equality, transitive property of equality. (Subtract ∠DCG+∠ECH from both equations (14 and 15).)

Which equation could be the equation of this parabola?
grin007 [14]
D, Because the equation must be in slope intercept (y=mx+b) and since it is going upwards (all positive nunbers) then the slope would be positive as well. I hope this helps!

A box is dragged 16 m across a level floor by a 25-N force at an angle of 45° to the floor. It is then dragged by
Nuetrik [128]

<u>solution</u>

W=f×d×cos theta

=25N×16m×cos 45°

=400Nm×cos 45°

=282.84J

W=f×d×cos theta

=25N×7m×cos 10°

=175Nm×cos10°

=172.34J

Total workdone=282.84J+172.34J=455.18J
