Answer:

5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the distances walked by Maria;

  • 3 km west and 4 km south

We are required to determine the displacement from her starting point;

  • We are going to use Pythagoras's theorem;

a² + b² = c²

Taking, the distances towards south and towards west as the legs of the triangle;

Then, c² = 3² + 4²

               = 25

         c  = √25

            = 5 km

Therefore, the displacement from the starting point is 5 km

1. Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.
ElenaW [278]

Answer: y + 2 = \frac{-1}{2} ( x - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point - slope form is given as ;

y - y_{1} = m (x -  x_{1})

x_{1} = 4

y_{1} = -2

m = \frac{-1}{2}

Substitute the values into the equation , we have

y - (-2) = \frac{-1}{2}( x - 4 )

y + 2 = \frac{-1}{2} ( x - 4 )

Which could be written as :

y + 2 = y + 2 = \frac{-1}{2} x + 2

Use similar triangles to solve. a person who is 6 feet tall is standing 132 feet from the base of a​ tree, and the tree casts a
devlian [24]
<span>Let the height of tree be denoted as AB and the shadow cast by the tree be BE. ABE is the triangle formed the tree, rays and the ground. Let the height of the person be CD and the length of his shadow be DE. CDE is the triangle formed by the person, rays and the ground. We have two triangles. Both the person and the tree stand vertically over the horizontal ground, therefore they make 90 degrees with the ground. The angle formed at the ground is the same for the both the triangles. Therefore, by AA similarity the two triangles are similar. We know that if two triangles are similar, then their sides are proportional. Therefore, AB/CD =BE/DE AB/6 = 143/11 AB= (143/11) *6 AB = 78 ft.</span>

Kurt enlarges a 24 cm by 30 cm photo to a 60 cm by 75 cm photo. What is the scale factor of the enlargement?
Kipish [7]
One scale factor equation is y=cx
y is the new factor    (in this case, 60 or 75)
c is the scale factor   (in this case, unknown)
x is the old factor      (in this case, 24 or 30)
so:   plug in the values
60=c(24)         divide both sides by 24
c=2.5

you can check again with the other numbers
75=c(30)           divide both sides by 30.
c= 2.5

your scale factor is 2.5
