Similar triangles can be extremely useful in architecture. For example, similar triangles can help represent doors and how far they swing. Also when using shadows that make the triangles you can use them to find the height of an actual object they can be used to construct many architectural designs and monuments for e.g, bridges. You can also determine values that you can’t directly measure. For e.g you. Can measure the length of your shadow and a tree’s shadow on a sunny day.

Stels [109]

Answer:

a) 0.1535

b) 0.4866

c) 0.8111

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the next call come within the next t minutes is:

  • p(t) = 1 -e ^{- t/3}

According to this model,

a) the probability that a call in comes within 1/2 minutes is p(t) = 1 -e ^{- (1/2)/3} =0.1535

b) the probability that a call in comes within 2 minutes is  p(t) = 1 -e ^{-2/3} =0.4866

c) the probability that a call in comes within 5 minutes is  p(t) = 1 -e ^{-5/3} =0.8111

Line p has an equation of y=-8x+6. Line q, which is perpendicular to line p, includes the point (2,–2). What is the equation of
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

y =  \frac{1}{8} x - 2  \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope-intercept </u><u>form</u>

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

Line p: y= -8x +6

slope= -8

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. Let the slope of line q be m.

m(-8)= -1

m= -1 ÷(-8)

m= ⅛

Substitute m= ⅛ into the equation:

y= ⅛x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation.

When x= 2, y= -2,

-2= ⅛(2) +c

- 2 =  \frac{1}{4}  + c

c =  - 2 -  \frac{1}{4}

c =  - 2 \frac{1}{4}

Thus, the equation of line q is y =  \frac{1}{8} x - 2 \frac{1}{4}.
