I need help with this question about similar triangles
1 answer:
Answer:
ST = 12 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ RAS and Δ TES are similar triangles, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is, noting that SR = 21 - ST, thus
=
substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
6ST = 8(21 - ST)
6ST = 168 - 8ST ( add 8ST to both sides )
14ST = 168 ( divide both sides by 14 )
ST = 12

Answer:
The correct option is the first graph (Yes)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is W(d) = 930/d
Where;
W(d) = The number of days it would take to get to Washington
d = The distance travelled each day in miles
We note that the given graphs have number of days in the y-axis and the miles in the x-axis, and that in the function, the distance Crystal travels each day is constant, <em>d</em>, while the 930 is the total distance from California to Washington, while W(d) is the time
Therefore, the variables for crystal are W(d) and the part of 930 miles completed, while the constant is the speed, d = miles/day, which gives;
W(d) = 930/d
W(d) ∝ Part of 930 miles completed × Constant
∴ W(d) which is the time is directly proportional to the distance
The graph which represents the number of days, W(d) it will take Crystal to get to Washington (miles completed) as a function of distance traveled per day, <em>d</em>, which is constant is a straight line graph which is the first graph
Answer:
7.3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The information given represents a right angle triangle with the following:
reference angle = 52°
Adjacent side length = 5.7 ft.
Opposite side length = height of the statue = h
Applying the trigonometric ratio formula, we would have:
Multiply both sides by 5.7
