Answer:

The height of triangle EFG is 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the area of a square ABCD

The area of a square is equal to

A=b^2

where

b is the length side of the square

we have

b=AB=6\ units

substitute

A=6^2=36\ units^2

step 2

Find the height of triangle EFG

The area of triangle EFG is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)

where

b is the base of triangle

h is the height of triangle

we have

b=EG=8\ units

A=36\ units^2 ---> area of triangle EFG is the same that the area of square ABCD

substitute the given values in the formula

36=\frac{1}{2}(8)(h)

solve for h

36=4h\\h=9\ units

therefore

The height of triangle EFG is 9 units

An observer on a cliff 1000 yards above sea level sights two ships due east. The angles of depression from the observers perspec
Anika [276]

Answer:

480.53 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(35) = 1000/hypotenuse1    - multiply by h (hypotenuse)

(h1)cos(35) = 1000        - divide by cos(35)

h1 = 1000 / cos(35)

h1 = 1220.7746

Same thing with the angle of depression of 54 degrees.

h2 = 1000 / cos(54)

h2 = 1701.3016

h2 - h1 = 480.53

A shark weighs 405 kg and 68 grams a second shark weighs 324 kg and 75 g how much more does the first shark weigh in grams than
mariarad [96]

For this case we have to by definition:

1 kg equals 1000 grams

Shark 1:

405 kg and 68 grams

405 kg * \frac {1000 g} {1kg} = 405,000 grams

Thus, shark 1 weighs 405,068 grams.

Shark 2:

324 kg and 75 grams

324 kg * \frac {1000 g} {1 kg} = 324,000 grams

Thus, shark 2 weighs 324,075 grams.

Subtracting we have:

405.068 grams-324.075 grams = 80.993 grams

Thus, shark 1 weighs 80,993 grams more than the second.

Answer:

Shark 1 weighs 80,993 grams more than the second.
