Step-by-step explanation:
an object and its shadow create a right-angled triangle.
2 objects and their shadows create 2 similar right-angled triangles.
that means the angles are the same, and the side lengths of one triangle all correlate with the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle via the same factor.
so,
42 × f = 6
f = 6/42 = 1/7
the length of Joel's shadow is then
20 × f = 20 × 1/7 = 2.857142857... ft
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- (3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
vector AB(3-(-6); 5-7)
vector AB(9;-2)
AB=
=
M is the midpoint of AB
we have B(-5;10) and M(1;7)
let A(x;y)
(x-5)/2 = 1 ⇒ x-5 = 2⇒ x = 7
(10=y)/2 = 7⇒ 10+y = 14 ⇒y= 4
so : A(7;4)
the center of the circle is the midponit of the line joining both ends of the diameter
let A(x;y) be the other end
(-2+x)/2 = 2 ⇒ -2+x = 4⇒ x= 6
(5=y) = -1 ⇒ 5+y = -2 ⇒ y= -7
so the coordinates of the other end are (6; -7)
A,B and C are collinear such as AB=BC so b is the midpoint of AC
(-5+1)/2 = y ⇒ y = -4/2 ⇒ y = -2
((-3=x)/2 = 7 ⇒ -3+x = 14 ⇒ x = 17
so x= 17 and y = -2
No se si esté correcto, buena suerte!:)
