Hello!

To solve this, we need to use some trigonometry. We will want to find the length of the bottom. To do so we will need to find those two sides.

First of all, let's find the base of the left triangle. Let's find the tangent of 45.

tan45=1

Therefore, 30/x=1. Just from this, we can see that the base of this triangle is 30.

Now for the other one. Here we have the hypotenuse. As we are looking for the adjacent side, we can use the cosine.

cos60=0.5

This gives us the equation x/80=0.5

From here, we can see that x=40.

Now we add our lengths.

30+40=70

Therefore, the length between the walls is 70 meters.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

We conclude that the area of the right triangle is:

$A\:=p^2-2p-3$

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right-angled triangle,

Base = p+1

Perpendicular = 2p-6

Using the formula to determine the area of the right-angled triangle

Area of the right triangle A = 1/2 × Base × Perpendicular

$=\frac{1}{2}\left(p+1\right)\left(2p-6\right)$

Factor 2p-6: 2(p-3)

$=\frac{\left(p+1\right)\times \:2\left(p-3\right)}{2}$

Divide the number: 2/2 = 1

$=\left(p+1\right)\left(p-3\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:FOIL\:method}:\quad \left(a+b\right)\left(c+d\right)=ac+ad+bc+bd$

$=pp+p\left(-3\right)+1\cdot \:p+1\cdot \left(-3\right)$

$=pp-3p+1\cdot \:p-1\cdot \:3$

$=p^2-2p-3$

Therefore, we conclude that the area of the right triangle is:

$A\:=p^2-2p-3$

Hence, option A is correct.

There are no given coordinates, so it's impossible to answer your question. I'm sorry.

Triangle XYZ is reflected over its hypotenuse to create a kite.

galben [10]

The angle between line XZ and line XY is given by:

$x = atan (\frac{12}{5})\\x = 67.38$

Then, the height from vertex Y to horizontal line XZ is:

$h = 5 sine (67.38)\\h = 4.62$

Then, the distance from Y to Y 'is given by:

$YY '= 2h\\YY '= 2 (4.62)\\YY '= 9.2$

Answer:

the approximate distance from Y to Y 'is:

D. 9.2 units
