Answer:

h = 3*tan(62) where h is the height

Step-by-step explanation:

You basically have a right triangle.  the standing man is the vertical line, the shadow is the horizontal line and the 62 degrees is the angle betweenthe horizontal line and the hypotenuse.

So, relative to the angle we have the adjacent angle and opposite.  What uses those?  Tangent.  tan(x) = opp / adj

tan(62) = h/3

h = 3*tan(62) where h is the height

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

(-3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add 3 to point B's x coordinate:

-6 + 3 = -3

Then, add 1 to the y coordinate:

3 + 1

= 4

So, the coordinates of pre image point A are (-3, 4)

If one endpoint is (-6,4) and the midpoint is (4,8) what would be the other endpoint ???? if you can explain it would be great
krek1111 [17]
I believe the next one would be 13.2 because if you add 8.4 to -6.4 it gets 4.8 so you just do the same thing

Suppose that 6 out of 24 people leave a meeting early. what percent of the people leave early​
Alisiya [41]
25% of people leave early as 6 is 1/4 of 24. You can solve this by dividing 6 by 24 (I believe, maybe check with someone on that but that’s how i figured it out).
