Answer:

Approximately 485 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first construct a right triangle, using the 500 m length of hill as our hypotenuse. Using the fact that the cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, we see that

\cos{15^\circ}=\frac{x}{500}

where x is the horizontal distance covered. Solving for x, we find this horizontal distance to be

x=500\cos{15^\circ}\approx500(0.97)=485

so our answer is approximately 485 m.

Which method would you use to prove that the two triangles are congruent?
Alona [7]

Answer:- AAS postulate


Explanation:-

  • AAS postulate tells that if two angles and a non-included side of a triangle to equal to the two angles and a non-included side of another triangle then the two triangles are said to be congruent.

Given:- One angle and one side of a triangle is equal to the one angle and one side of the other triangle.

We see there is one more pair of equal angles as they are vertically opposite angles . [See the attachment]

⇒ there is a triangle where two angles and a non-included side of a triangle to equal to the two angles and a non-included side of another triangle then the two triangles are said to be congruent.

⇒ The triangles are congruent [ by ASA postulate]

Solve for e. T=e29<br><br><br> ​​ e=±3T√T<br><br> e=±3T<br><br> e=±3T√<br><br> ​ e=±9T√ ​
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

option (3) is correct.

e= \pm 3\sqrt{T}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given T=\frac{e^2}{9}

We have to solve for e.

Consider the given statement,

T=\frac{e^2}{9}

Cross multiply, we get,

\Rightarrow 9T={e^2}

Taking square root both sides , we get,

\Rightarrow \sqrt{9T}=e

We know square root of 9 is 3.

\Rightarrow \pm 3\sqrt{T}=e

Thus, option (3) is correct.

e= \pm 3\sqrt{T}
