The midpoint of a segment refers to the point in the middle of any segment. This can be find by using the formula, M=(x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2).

In this exercise is given that a segment has coordinates (-4,6) and (2,5). It is asked to find the midpoint of the segment, to do that you should substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula.

M=(x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2)
M=(-4+2/2,6+5/2)
M=(-2/2,11/2)
M=(-1,11/2) or (-1,5.5)

The midpoint of the segment is (-1,11/2), or letter A from the given choices.

At 3pm, the length of the shadow of a thin vertical pole standing on level ground is the same as the height of the pole. A while

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The height of the pole is 175.97 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the pole is x cm,

Also, let the angle of elevation of the sun to the pole at 3 pm is $\theta$

Thus, by the question,

$tan\theta = \frac{\text{ The height of the pole}}{\text{ The height of the shadow}}$

$\implies tan\theta = \frac{x}{x}$ ( at 3pm the height of shadow = height of the pole)

$\implies tan\theta = 1$

$\implies \theta = 45^{\circ}$

Again, according to the question,

When the angle of elevation is $(\theta - 12^{\circ})$ ,

The height of shadow = x + 95,

$\implies tan(45-12)^{\circ}=\frac{x}{x+95}$

$\implies tan 33^{\circ}=\frac{x}{x+95}$

$\implies tan 33^{\circ}x + 95\times tan33^{\circ}=x$

$\implies tan 33^{\circ}x - x = - 95\times tan33^{\circ}$

$\implies -0.3505924068 x = - 61.6937213538$

$x=175.969930202\approx 175.97\text{ cm}$
