Answer:

101 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct path across the stream and perpendicular to both sides of the stream is one leg of a right triangle. The 20 meter distance on the arriving side of the stream is another leg of the right triangle. The path he actually took is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

leg 1 = 99 m

leg 2 = 20 m

hypotenuse = ?

We have a right triangle, and we know the lengths of the two legs. We need to find the length of the hypotenuse, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

99^2 + 20^2 = c^2

9801 + 400 = c^2

c^2 = 10201

c = sqrt(10201) = 101

Answer: 101 meters

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + 144^2 = 145^2

a^2 + 20736 = 21025

a^2 = 289

a = sqrt(289)

Find the equation of the line that is
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

y = ½x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

You get y = -2x +5, so the slope is –2. Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the line we want to find is 1/2. Plugging in the point given into the equation y = 1/2x + b and solving for b, we get b = 6. Thus, the equation of the line is y = ½x + 6.

Vertical angles ate those that ate directly across from each other and share the same vertex. An example of this would be angles 5 and 7. These types of angles are also congruent, so angles 5 and 7 could be your congruent pair or another set of vertical angles like 1 and 3. A linear pair is two angles that together are a line. Basically, they are next ro each other (divided only by another vector) and are supplementary, adding up to 180 degrees. An example of this in the image is angles 1 and 2.

A basketball team wants to paint half of a free-throw circle grey. If the circumference of the free-throw circle is 30.77 feet,
Anton [14]

Answer:

37.69    (≈ 38 ft²)

Step-by-step explanation:

2πr = 30.77

r = 30.77 / (2 * 3.14) = 4.9

half of free-throw circle area: πr² / 2 = (3.14 * 4.9²) / 2 = 37.69    (≈ 38 ft²)
