Triangle OPQ is similar to triangle RST. Find the measure of side RS. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. OPQR

Andrews [41]

Answer:

RS = 75.3

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to set up the proportion of corresponding sides.

$\frac{PQ}{ST} = \frac{PO}{RS}$

$\frac{7}{31} = \frac{17}{RS}$

7(RS) = 31(17)

= 527

RS = 527/7 = 75.2857...

= 75.3

Can somebody please help me out:))

jeyben [28]

Answer:

50ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

Considering that one side is equal to 38 degrees, we know this isn't a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle.

One of the legs is equal to 40 feet

So, tan(b) = 40/x

tan(38 degrees) is 0.78 round up to 0.8 (if that's what your teacher wants)

0.8 = 40/x

0.8x = 40

x = 50ft

I hope this helps

You add 6 to the numbers on the left so like it’s -8 on the left just add 6 so that’s -2 and so on

If a ship's path is mapped on a coordinate grid, it follows a straight-line path of slope 3 and passes through point (2, 5).

Ugo [173]

Part A: The equation of the ship's path is $y=3x-1$

Part B: The two ships sails perpendicular to each other.

Explanation:

Part A: It is given that $m=3$ and point (2, 5)

Substituting these in the slope intercept form, we have,

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

$\begin{aligned}y-5 &=3(x-2) \\y-5 &=3 x-6 \\y &=3 x-1\end{aligned}$

Thus, the equation of the ship's path in slope intercept form is $y=3x-1$

Part B: The equation of the second ship is $x+3 y-6=0$

Let us bring the equation in the form of slope intercept form.

$\begin{aligned}3 y &=-x+6 \\y &=-\frac{1}{3} x+2\end{aligned}$

Thus, from the above equation the slope is $m=-\frac{1}{3}$

To determine the two ships sailing perpendicular to each other, we have

$m_{1} \times m_{2}=-1$

where $m_{1}=3$ and $m_{2}=-\frac{1}{3}$

$\begin{aligned}3 \times-\frac{1}{3} &=-1 \\-1 &=-1\end{aligned}$

Since, both sides of the equation are equal, these two ships sails perpendicular to each other.
