Answer:

The perimeter of triangle PQR is 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the triangles PQR and STU

1. PQ ≅ ST = 4 ft (Given)

2. ∠PQR ≅ ∠STU  (Given)

3. QR ≅ TU = 6 ft (Given)

Therefore, the two triangles are congruent by SAS postulate.

Now, from CPCTE, PR = SU. Therefore,

3y-2=y+4\\3y-y=4+2\\2y=6\\y=\frac{6}{2}=3

Now, side PR is given by plugging in 3 for 'y'.

PR = 3(3) - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7 ft

Now, perimeter of a triangle PQR is the sum of all of its sides.

Therefore, Perimeter = PQ + QR + PR

                                   = (4 + 6 + 7) ft

                                   = 17 ft

Hence, the perimeter of triangle PQR is 17 ft.

1. You are standing on top of a ridge using a clinometer trying to figure out how far your dog has wandered off in
olga_2 [115]

<u>Given:</u>

It is given that the ridge is 360 inches tall.

<u>Assumptions:</u>

Assume you are 170.1 cm tall which equals 67 inches tall, the height from your eye to the floor is 360+67 = 427 inches.

The distance from your eye level to the bottom of the ridge is 427 inches.

Assume the angle A is 60°.

<u>To find the distance from you to your dog.</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

A right-angled triangle can be formed where the angle is 60°, the distance between you and the dog is the hypotenuse of the triangle and your height from the floor is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Assume the hypotenuse of the triangle measures x inches.

To determine the length of the hypotenuse, we determine the cos of the angle.

cos \theta = \frac{adjacent side}{hypotenuse} .

cos A = \frac{427}{x} , x = \frac{427}{cos60} , cos60=0.5.

x=\frac{427}{0.5} = 854.

So if the ridge is 360 inches tall and you are 67 inches tall and the angle A is 60°, the distance between your dog and you is 854 inches.
