Answer:

  • see below for a diagram
  • 15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephanie is 1.8/1.2 = 1.5 times as tall as her shadow is long. We expect the same is true of the wind turbine.

The wind turbine's shadow is 10 m long, so its height is 1.5·(10 m) = 15 m.

The wind turbine is 15 m tall.

Geometry question!!
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

GQ=25 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Point Q is the midpoint of GH

so

GH=GQ+QH  and  GQ=QH

GH=2GQ -------> equation A

we have

GH=5x-5

GQ=2x+3

substitute in the equation A and solve for x

5x-5=2(2x+3)

5x-5=4x+6

5x-4x=6+5

x=11

Find the length of GQ

GQ=2x+3

substitute the value of x

GQ=2(11)+3

GQ=25 units

Determine the number of possible triangles, ABC, that can be formed given A = 30°, a = 7, and b = 18.
zzz [600]

Answer:

none

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a triangle ABC with ∠A = 30°, sides a = 4 and b = 10.

According to the 'Law of Sines- Ambiguous Case', we have,

If a < b×sinA, then no triangle is possible.

If a = b×sinA, only one triangle is possible

If a > b×sinA, two triangles are possible.

So, we have,

b×sinA = 10 × sin30 = 10 × 0.5 = 5.

Now, as

4 = a < bsinA = 5.

We get, according to the rule, no triangle is possible.

Find the axis of symmetry and vertex of the following y= -2x2-3x+2
Mnenie [13.5K]
Y= -2x²-3x+2, (form y = ax² +b .x + c

The parabola opens downward & hence it's Vertex is a MAXIMUM.

We know that the axis of symmetry is -b/2a ==>3/(-4) ==>
x= - 3/4 (axis of symmetry. At x=-3/4 , y = 25/8 = 3.125

Hence the axis of symmetry is x= - 3/4 & the vertex is at (-3/4, 25/8)
