It took a skydive 6 seconds to drop 720feet. What is the rate (in feet per/second) of the skydive's drop?

Answer:

120ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that there is no acceleration, divide the amount of feet (720) with the time (6 seconds):

720 ft/6 sec = 120 ft/1 sec

For every second, the skydiver drops 120 ft.

120ft/sec.

Answer:

slope = $\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 4) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{4+1}{2-0}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$

In the △ABC, the height AN = 24 in, BN = 18 in, AC = 40 in. Find AB and BC. Consider all possible cases. Case 1 : N∈BC, AB = __,

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Case 1:

$AB = 30$

$BC = 50$

Case 2:

$AB = 15.9$

$BC = 36.7$

Case 3: Not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for illustration of each case

Required

Find AB and BC

Case 1:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

$AB^2 = AN^2 + BN^2$

This gives:

$AB^2 = 24^2 + 18^2$

$AB^2 = 576 + 324$

$AB^2 = 900$

Take square roots of both sides

$AB = \sqrt{900$

$AB = 30$

To calculate BC, we consider ANC, where:

$AC^2 = AN^2 + NC^2$

$40^2 = 24^2 + NC^2$

$1600 = 576 + NC^2$

Collect like terms

$NC^2 = 1600 - 576$

$NC^2 = 1024$

Take square roots

$NC = \sqrt{1024$

$NC = 32$

So:

$BC = NC + BN$

$BC = 32 + 18$

$BC = 50$

Case 2:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

$AN^2 = AB^2 + BN^2$

This gives:

$24^2 = AB^2 + 18^2$

$576 = AB^2 + 324$

Collect like terms

$AB^2 = 576 - 324$

$AB^2 = 252$

Take square roots of both sides

$AB = \sqrt{252$

$AB = 15.9$

To calculate BC, we consider ABC, where:

$AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

$40^2 = 252 + BC^2$

$1600 = 252 + BC^2$

Collect like terms

$BC^2 = 1600 - 252$

$BC^2 = 1348$

Take square roots

$BC = \sqrt{1348$

$BC = 36.7$

Case 3:

This is not possible because in ANC

The hypotenuse AN (24) is less than AC (40)

Which property can be justified using the ratios in triangle XYZ ?

Alenkasestr [34]

The correct answer is B.

Determine and recall first the trigonometric functions:

Sin A = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Cos A = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent

If for example we try to take an angle, for example the Y, then Y is opposite Y. The Hypotenuse will be the longer side which is going to denoted by X and the next side will be Adjacent which will be denoted by Z.

Use this test to answer:

Sin Y = Y/X

where:

Y = opposite
X = hypotenuse

Cos (90 - y) = cos (90 - 50) = cos 40

where Z = 40
we look for cos Z = Y/X

Therefore,

Sin Y = Cos (90 - Y)
