Answer:
≈ 82 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to calculate distance (d)
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
Here the hypotenuse is the distance (d) between the 2 poles, hence
d² = 80² + 45² = 6400 + 2025 = 8425 ( take the square root of both sides )
d = ≈ 82 feet ( to the nearest foot )
Here are all the steps, and what they do:
STEP 1: HORIZONTAL TRANSLATION
We transform
The general transformation is
These transformations translate the graph horizontally, k units to the left if k>0, k units to the right if k<0.
In this case, k = -1, so we translate the original graph 1 unit to the right.
STEP 2: VERTICAL STRETCH
We transform
The general transformation is
These transformations stretch the graph vertically. The graph expands if |k|>1, while it shrinks if 0<|k|<1. If k is negative, we also reflect the graph with respect to the x axis.
In this case, k = 3, so we stretch the graph vertically by a factor 3.
STEP 3: VERTICAL TRANSLATION
We transform
The general transformation is
These transformations translate the graph vertically, k units up if k>0, k units down if k<0.
In this case, k = 4, so we translate the graph 4 units up.
So, we start from the original graph of and we:
(the order is important!)
to get the graph of
Answer:
5 units

(This distance is the perpendicular distance between the 2 parallel lines, which is the shortest distance between them.)
