A board is leaning against a vertical wall. One end of the board rests on the ground at a point eight feet from the wall. The ot

her end of the board touches the wall at a point that is six feet above the ground.
35 POINTS!Use a trigonometric function to determine the angle that the board creates with the ground (m∠A). In at least four sentences, explain why you chose your specific function and how it applies to the measure of angle A. Be sure to include the key vocabulary words "tangent", "ratio", "opposite side", "adjacent side" and "angle measure" in your response. Describe each computational step in complete sentences.

Answer:

36.87°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABC is a right-angle triangle, we can use trigonometric ratios to solve for unknown angles and sides.

For Angle at A, we have lengths of opposite and adjacent sides so we can use tangent at A.

tan(A) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = CB/AB

tan(A) = 6/8

A = (tan^-1)(0.75)

A = 36.86989765°

Which transformation will map figure Honto figure H? (1 point)
podryga [215]

Answer:

2) Vertical translation of 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

H and H'

Required

Which maps H to H'

First, we pick the coordinate of any point on H

H(x,y) = (4,2)

First, we pick a corresponding coordinate on H'

H'(x,y) = (4,-8)

The above coordinates show that H and H' are not a reflection of one another because neither of the x or y coordinates negate one another.

By looking at the coordinates of H and H, we have:

H: x = 2 and H':x = 2 ---  The same x coordinates

H: y = 2 and H': y = -8 --- Different y coordinates

The difference between the y coordinates is:

Difference  = H(x) - H'(x)

Difference  = H(2) - H'(2)

Difference  = 2 - (-8)

Difference  = 2 +8

Difference  = 10

Hence,

<em>2) Vertical translation of 10 units </em> is correct.

Which function represents g(x), a reflection of f(x) = 4across the x-axis?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Option C g(x) = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question a function f(x) =4 is given and we are required to tell the reflection g(x) of the given function.

The rule of reflection for a function says that:

f(x) -> - f(x)

So, in our case the value of function is f(x) = 4, after reflection the value across the x-axis the value will become negative i.e -4,

so the required function g(x) = - 4

Hence Option C g(x) = -4 is correct option.
