Help me find y.......

Mathematics
1 answer:
erastova [34]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  y ≈ 240.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relation between an angle and the sides adjacent and opposite is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

In this triangle, the interior angle at lower right is the same as the one marked at upper left: 31°. y is the side opposite that angle, and 400 ft is the side adjacent. Then the relation is ...

  tan(31°) = y/(400 ft)

Multiplying by 400 ft gives ...

  y = (400 ft)·tan(31°) ≈ 240.3 ft

_____

The triangle interior angle at lower right and the angle marked 31° are "alternate interior angles" relative to the transversal marked x and the (parallel) horizontal lines in the figure. Alternate interior angles always have the same measure.

In geometry problems like this one, it means the angle of elevation (above the horizontal) is equal to the angle of depression (below the horizontal).

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

around 4.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythaogrean theorem we get <em>sqrt 32</em> or <em>4sqrt2 </em>for the diagonal of the square.

To get x we can use Pythagorean theorem again to set up an equation,

32 + x^2 = 49

This gives us x = <em>sqrt17,</em> which is approximately 4.1231 or around 4.1

HELP ASAP ILL GIVE BRAINLIST
Goryan [66]
The first question is to identify a pair of similar triangles. The answer for that would be GCB and BEP. they are not the same size but they do both identify as triangles so that is correct. The next question is explain how you know the triangles in part A are similar. Because they have the same points and when they are reflected they stay the same. Last question is find the distances fromB to E and from P to E. That’s simple. 250 feet and 225 feet. Hope this helps!

What is the equation that goes through (4,5) and is parallel to y=2x+1
forsale [732]

Answer:

The equation would be y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, we need to note that they will have the same slope, since parallel lines have the same slope. Then, we can use the point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x - 4)

y - 5 = 2x - 8

y = 2x - 3
