Answer:
option (D) is the right answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditions
- A diameter must be chosen such that it meete the sidewalk perpendicular to itself.
- The diameter meets the sidewalk at the sidewalk's midpoint.
- The diameter meets the sidewalk such that the diameter is cut into two segments 30+18 and 12
- The sidewalk is cut in 1/2 where the diameter meets the sidewalk as the diagram shows.
- If all these conditions are met, the relationship between the four lines is
Equation
48/12 = x^2
Solution
4 = x^2
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(4)
x = 2
The length of the sidewalk is 4. Why is it doubled.
Because there are 2 xs of equal length
You can draw a right triangle with the informatio.
The vertical change in elevation (unknown) is the opposed leg to the angle 15°
The distance from the surveyor to the point vertically below the point on the mountain is the adjacent leg = 6 miles.
Then tan(15°) = x / 6 => x = 6tan(15) = 1.61 miles
Answer: 1.61 miles
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
12/5
Discussion:
Note that 10 is a common denominator of both denominators:
9/5 = (9*2)/(5*2) = 18/10
- ( -6/10) = + (6/10)
So the original problem is equivalent to
18/10 + 6/10 =
(18 +6)/10 =
24/10 =
(2*12)/ (2*5) => cancelling the common factor "2"
12/5 =
2 and 2 fifths =
22/5 (though this looks like (22)/5!)
Thank you,
MrB
