AA Theorem: To show two triangles are similar, it is sufficient to show that two angles of one triangle are congruent (equal) to two angles of the other triangle. All three triangles have a right angle and they all share the common angle at point S.

Flagpole is 32 meters from point S: so 1.5/8 = x/32 where x is FG
cross-multiply: 32 • 1.5 = 8x
48 = 8x
x = 6 meters

building is a total of 240 meters from point S, so: 1.5/8 = x / 240 where x is BD
cross-multiply: 240 • 1.5 = 8x
360 = 8x
<span>x = 45 meters</span>

Find all solutions of the equation in the interval [0, 2pi).
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by squaring both sides to get rid of the radical. Doing that gives you:

sin^2x=1-cosx

Now use the Pythagorean identity that says

sin^2x =1-cos^2x and make the replacement:

1-cos^2x=1-cosx. Now move everything over to one side of the equals sign and set it equal to 0 so you can factor:

1-cos^2x+cosx-1=0 and then simplify to

cosx-cos^2x=0

Factor out the common cos(x) to get

cosx(1-cosx)=0 and there you have your 2 trig equations:

cos(x) = 0 and 1 - cos(x) = 0

The first one is easy enough to solve. Look on the unit circle and see where, one time around, where the cos of an angle is equal to 0. That occurs at

x=\frac{\pi }{2},\frac{3\pi}{2}

The second equation simplifies to

cos(x) = 1

Again, look to the unit circle and find where the cos of an angle is equal to 1. That occurs at π only.

So, in the end, your 3 solutions are

x=\frac{\pi}{2},\pi,\frac{3\pi}{2}

Rose and Dennis each open a savings account at the same time. Rose invests $2,600 in an account yielding 4.1% simple interest, a
vodka [1.7K]
The formula is
A=p (1+rt)
A future value
P present value
R interest rate
T time in years

Rose investment
A=2,600×(1+0.041×9)
A=3,559.4

Dennis investment
A=2,200×(1+0.057×9)
A=3,328.6

So Rose investment is greater than Dennis investment by
3,559.4−3,328.6=230.8

Hope it helps!

Answer:

x=-8 where A=1 and B=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line's graph is x=-8. Since there is no y, they coefficient in front of y, B, will be 0, and since there is only one x, that coefficient in front of the x, A, will be 1.
