Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.
If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.
Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)
Ratio = 63/105
Reduce to the least fraction
Ratio = 3/5
If the height of the lamppost is H, then
H/144 = 3/5
H = (144 x3)/5
H = 86.4
Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.
Answer:
It is a right triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle is a triangle with at least one angle with 90 degrees.
We know that every triangle has 180 degrees. The other unknown angle is 180 - (30+60) = 180 - 90 = 90. That means that the other angle is 90 degrees. Therefore, it is a right triangle
We also know that in this triangle, that the square of one side plus the square of another is side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse of the triangle. (According to Pythagorean theorem)
? I’m confused is there supposed to be a picture to this? I don’t see a expression so..
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
When we add up all the numbers we get 111 then we divide it by 10 which gives us 11.1. since we have no value to round to the tenths place, the answer stays the same.
B. Not moving, is the correct answer.
A is not correct because constant speed on a distance vs. time graph would vertically point to the right. C is not correct because acceleration on a distance vs. time graph would curve upwards. D is not correct because B applies to the graph.
Hope this helps :)
