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

NO ONE EVER HELPS ME , PLEASE HELP ME I NEED HELP!
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

A is the answer  

12 in

first substitute the variables

then 78=1/2h(5 + 8)

this makes it an equation

add similar terms which equals to

78=1/2xhx13

then divide both sides by 13

6=1/2xh

lastly divide both sides by 1/2

12=h

Step-by-step explanation:

proof

A=1/2x12(5 + 8) then

A=1/2x12x13  then

   A=6x13  then

       A= 78in^2

What is the biggest whole number smaller than the perimeter of any triangle with a side of length 5.6 and a side of length 19.7?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a Triangle is the sum of it's 3 sides.

We are given two sides here which is side length 5.6 and a side of length 19.7

Let's us represent the third side as x

Therefore

x + 19.7 + 5.6 = Perimeter of the triangle

We would have this equation

But it is important to know that every side of a triangle must be less than the sum of the other two sides, hence

x < 19.7 + 5.6

x < 25.3

Adding 25.3 to both sides to make the left side equal to the perimeter

perimeter = x+25.3 < 25.3 + 25.3 = 50.6

Therefore, 50.6 is the smallest whole number that is larger than the perimeter of the triangle in the question above.

Therefore, the biggest whole number smaller than the perimeter of the above triangle is 50

A cheetah can run at top speed for only about 20 seconds. If an antelope is too far away for a cheetah to catch it in 20 seconds
Lisa [10]
The friend would be incorrect. The antelope  running 60 feet per second will be safe if the cheetah running at 90 feet per second is 650 feet behind it. To prove this, we can calculate the time it takes for the cheetah to reach the initial position of the antelope which is 650 ft from its initial position. We do as follows:

time to reach 650 ft = 650 ft / 90 ft/s = 7.22 s

After 7.22 s, the antelope would be,

distance of the antelope = 60 ft /s (7.22 s) = 433.33 ft

It would be 433.33 ft away from its initial position. So, the cheetah would not be able to reach the antelope when it travels 650 ft.
