When a hockey player is 35 feet from the goal line, he shoots the puck directly at the goal. The angle of elevation at which the
puck leaves the ice is 7 degrees. The height of the goal is 4 feet. Will the player score a goal?
1 answer:
Answer:
Yes, since 3.92feet < 4 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the diagram below, the Player is at A and the Goal Post is BC.
To determine if the player will score the goal, we find the height BC of the puck at the goal post and make comparisons.
Tan Θ= Opposite/Adjacent
Tan 7°= BC/32
BC= 32 X Tan 7°
= 3.92 feet
Since the height of the ball is less than the height of the goal, the player will score.

Answer:
The coordinates of the centroid are (0, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of the centroid of a triangle whose vertices (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3) are ( ,
)
In Δ ABC
∵ A = (-20, 0), B = (0, 15), C = (20, 0)
∴ x1 = -20, x2 = 0, x3 = 20
∴ y1 = 0, y2 = 15, y3 = 0
∴ The centroid = ( ,
) = (
,
) = (0, 5)
∴ The coordinates of the centroid of Δ ABC are (0, 5)
In Δ DBE
∵ D = (-15, 0), B = (0, 15), E = (15, 0)
∴ x1 = -15, x2 = 0, x3 = 15
∴ y1 = 0, y2 = 15, y3 = 0
∴ The centroid = ( ,
) = (
,
) = (0, 5)
∴ The coordinates of the centroid of Δ DBE are (0, 5)
In Δ FBG
∵ F = (-5, 0), B = (0, 15), G = (5, 0)
∴ x1 = -5, x2 = 0, x3 = 5
∴ y1 = 0, y2 = 15, y3 = 0
∴ The centroid = ( ,
) = (
,
) = (0, 5)
∴ The coordinates of the centroid of Δ FBG are (0, 5)
∵ The three triangles are symmetric about the y-axis
→ That means they have the same centroid and it lies on the y-axis
∴ The coordinates of the centroid are (0, 5)
