Which segment of the triangle will give you the height of your peak? Write the equation for the proportion that will allow you t

Novosadov [1.4K]

The segment that will give the height of the peak is the segment that is located from the right angle to the peak.
To find the height, we can use the fact that we have two similar triangles.
We are going to define a variable.
We have:
x: height of the peak.
For similar triangles, we have the following relationship:
$\frac{x}{20} = \frac{6}{3}$
From here, we clear the height of the peak
Answer:
the equation for the proportion that will allow you to find the height of your peak is:
$\frac{x}{20} = \frac{6}{3}$

How close are a meter and a yard? Convert, 1 meter into yards by using the fact that there are 100 centimeters in a meter, 2.54

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

To convert 1 meter into yards

Using the given facts : 100 centimeters in a meter, 2.54 centimeters in an inch, 12 inches in a foot, and 3 feet in a yard.

we can write these as;

$1 m = 100 cm$

$1 inches = 2.54 cm$

$1 ft = 12 inches$ and

$1 yard = 3 ft$

1 ft = 12 inches

3 ft = $3 \times 12 = 36 inches$

Since,

1 inches = 2.54 cm

36 inches = 91.44 cm

Also,

1 m = 100 cm

or

1 cm = $\frac{1}{100} m$

then;

91.44 cm = $\frac{91.44}{100} =0.9144 m$

⇒ 1 yards = 0.9144 m

Divide both sides by 0.9144 we get;

1 meter = $\frac{1}{0.9144} = 1.0936133$ yards.

Therefore, the answer is, 1 m = 1.1 yards (nearest to tenth)

If the lengths of two sides of a right triangle are $5$ and $12$ units, what is the least possible length, in units, of the thir

Goryan [66]

The length of the third side of the tringle must lie in between 7 and 7 i.e length of the third side will always be greater than 7 and smaller than 17 according to the properties of a triangle.

According to the given question.

We have a right angled triangle with the two side lengths 5 unit and 12 unit.

From the properties of a triangle we know that " the sum of the length of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side". Or " the difference between the two sides of a triangle is less than the length of the third side".

Let the third side of the triangle be x units.

So, by the properties of a triangle we can say that

12 - 5 < x

⇒ 7 < x

And 12 + 5 > x

⇒ 17 > x

Therefore, the length of the third side of the tringle must lie in between 7 and 7 i.e length of the third side will always be greater than 7 and smaller than 17.

Sandy is working with a carpenter to frame a house. They are using 8-foot-long boards, but each board must be cut to be 7 feet 1

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

1 1/4 in of material is cut off each board.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this, subtract 7 ft 10 3/4 inches from 8 ft.

First, rewrite 8 ft as 7 ft 12 inches.

Then subtract:

7 ft 12 in

- 7 ft 10 3/4 in

----------------------

1 1/4 in

1 1/4 in of material is cut off each board.
