Answer:

The height of the lamp post is 15 feet ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder , the lamp post and the ground formed a right triangle, the length of the ladder is its hypotenuse (l), the height of the lamp post (h) and the horizontal distance on the ground between the base of the ladder and the base of the lamp post (d) are the legs of the triangle

By using Pythagoras Theorem ⇒ <em>the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs</em>

∵ l² = h² + d²

∵ The length of the ladder is 25 feet

∴ l = 25

∵ The ladder is placed 20 feet from the lamp post

- That means the distance between the base of the ladder and

   the base of the lamp post on the ground

∴ d = 20

- Substitute the values of l and d in the Pythagoras formula

∵ (25)² = h² + (20)²

∴ 625 = h² + 400

- Subtract 400 from both sides

∴ 225 = h²

- Take √  for both sides

∴ 15 = h

∴ The height of the lamp post is 15 feet

A rectangle has vertices E(-4, 8), F(2, 8), G(2, -2) and H(-4, -2). The rectangle is dilated with the origin as the center of di
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The dilation on any point of the rectangle is P'(x,y) = \frac{5}{2}\cdot P(x,y).

Step-by-step explanation:

From Linear Algebra, we define the dilation of a point by means of the following definition:

G'(x,y) = O(x,y) +k\cdot [G(x,y)-O(x,y)] (1)

Where:

G(x,y) - Coordinates of the point G, dimensionless.

O(x,y) - Center of dilation, dimensionless.

k - Scale factor, dimensionless.

G'(x,y) - Coordinates of the point G', dimensionless.

If we know that O(x,y) = (0,0), G(x,y) =(2,-2) and G'(x,y) =(5,-5), then scale factor is:

(5,-5) = (0,0) +k\cdot [(2,-2)-(0,0)]

(5,-5) = (2\cdot k, -2\cdot k)

k = \frac{5}{2}

The dilation on any point of the rectangle is:

P'(x,y) = (0,0) + \frac{5}{2}\cdot [P(x,y)-(0,0)]

P'(x,y) = \frac{5}{2}\cdot P(x,y) (2)

The dilation on any point of the rectangle is P'(x,y) = \frac{5}{2}\cdot P(x,y).

sid and Jill hiked 4 1/8 miles in the morning and 1 1/7 miles in the afternoon.how many times as far did they hike in the mornin
mote1985 [20]
Your answer is ..
First,
we have to turn our mixed fractions into an improper fraction.
=4 1/8 which is 33/8(4 x 8 + 1).

Our next mixed fraction,
we have 1 1/7 which is 8/7(1 x 7 + 1).

Now, we have the get the same denominator in order to subtract.
SO, both 8 and 7 goes in to 56. So we multiply both mixed fractions to get the same denominator.
(Tip: what ever you do to do numerator, you do to the denominator; and the other way around).
33/8 : 33*7=231 and our denominator, 8*7=56
So our improper fraction now,
231/56

Our next fraction 8/7,
7*8= 56 and our numerator 8*8=64.
=64/56

So, now we subtract.
231-64= 167 and our common denominator. 167/56

Now we divide 167 by 56 which is 2 and remainder is 55.
So, you should end up with a mixed fraction, 2 55/56.
