Musah stands at the center of a rectangular field. He first takes 50 steps north, then 25 steps west and finally 50 steps on a b
earing of 315°. Sketch musah's movement. How far west is musah's final point from the center?
1 answer:
Answer: 4.17 steps
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Draw a point to use as the center and then sketch 50 units north (up) and 25 units west (left) and 315° which creates a right triangle that has an angle of 360° - 315° = 45°
Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
50² + 25² = hypotenuse² --> hypotenuse = 55.9 units
Since Musah only walked 50 units along the hypotenuse, he is 5.9 units from the center.
Create another right triangle using the remaining 5.9 units as the hypotenuse. You can use 45°-45°-90° rules OR sin 45° to find the horizontal distance from the center to be 4.17.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two transformations, one vertical, one horizontal.
The + 9 part outside the absolute value sign moves the graph up 9 units.
Replacing x with x - 1 moves the graph right 1 unit.
<em>Comment:</em> The horizontal shifts sometimes appear backwards: x - 1 looks like a shift to the left, but it's not.
Example: f(4) = |4| = 4. To get the same output (4) from g(x), you have to use a value for x that is 1 unit <u>larger</u> than 4. g(5) = |5 - 1| = 4.
Answer: OPTION C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle can be calculated with the following formula:
Where "b" is the base of the triangle and "h" is the height of the triangle.
You know that all the triangles that compose the large triangle are equal.
According to the information given in the exercise, the base and the height of any small triangle are:
Therefore, the area of any of them is:
Since there are 4 equal triangles, you need to multiply the area obtained by 4 in order to find the area of the large triangle. This is:
