Answer: PN = 20 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram two congruent triangles are given ΔPMN ≅ ΔQSR.

So by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)

In ΔPMN and ΔQSR

PN=QR=20 in.

PM=SQ=24 in.

MN=RS= 7 in.

Congruent triangles are the triangles of which all the sides and all the angles are congruent.

If two triangles are said to be congruent then its all corresponding parts must be equal.

20. qr is congruent to pn so pn is 20

A 51-foot wire running from the top of a tent pole to the ground makes an angle of 58° with the ground. If the length of the ten

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

35.11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This given situation can be thought of as triangle $\triangle PQR$ where PQ is the length of pole.

PR is the length of rope.

and QR is the distance of bottom of pole to the point of fastening of rope to the ground.

And $\angle Q \neq 90^\circ$

Given that:

PQ = 44 ft

PR = 51 ft

$\angle R = 58^\circ$

To find:

Side QR = ?

Solution:

We can apply Sine Rule here to find the unknown side.

Sine Rule:

$\dfrac{a}{sinA} = \dfrac{b}{sinB} = \dfrac{c}{sinC}$

Where

a is the side opposite to $\angle A$

b is the side opposite to $\angle B$

c is the side opposite to $\angle C$

$\dfrac{PR}{sinQ}=\dfrac{PQ}{sinR}\\\Rightarrow sin Q =\dfrac{PR}{PQ}\times sinR\\\Rightarrow sin Q =\dfrac{51}{44}\times sin58^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle Q =79.41^\circ$

Now,

$\angle P +\angle Q +\angle R =180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle P +58^\circ+79.41^\circ=180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle P = 42.59^\circ$

Let us use the Sine rule again:

$\dfrac{QR}{sinP}=\dfrac{PQ}{sinR}\\\Rightarrow QR =\dfrac{sinP}{sinR}\times PQ\\\Rightarrow QR =\dfrac{sin42.59}{sin58}\times 44\\\Rightarrow QR = 35.11\ ft$

So, the answer is 35.11 ft.

Which equation represents the line that passes through (5,8) and (9,2)

Dahasolnce [82]

ASSUMING This is a straight line so we gotta the formula for a straight line which is y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.

First, we know this line passes through (5,8) and (9,2) we can use these for finding the equations. When we know two points, we use this formula:

y-y=m(x-x)

The first y is 8 and the second one is 2
The first x is 5 and the second one is 9

Plug it in:

8-2=m(5-9)
6=m(-4)
6/-4=m <— simplify this
m= -3/2

*NOTE: another way to find m is by calculating it (y-y)/(x-x)

Now we know m, we have to find b.
All you gotta do is plug everything you know back into the equation y=mx+b

y=mx+b
y=-3/2x+b <— now plug in a point we know(x,y)

8=-3/2(5)+b
8=-15/2+b
8-(-15/2)=b
b=8+15/2
b=16/2+15/2
b=31/2 (now you can write be as a fraction or a decimal in your equation, depending on what your teacher told you to use)
*NOTE: it is best to use fractions instead of decimals as it is more accurate sometimes.

Now we know all the variables that need to be known, we just need to rewrite the formula of the equation so the teacher can see.

m=-3/2
b=31/2

We don’t need to plug in x or y since it could have different values (since a straight line has MANY co-ordinates)

SO OUR EQUATION IS=
y=(-3/2)x+31/2

Hope you understand this, feel free to ask me anything!

6 (3x-1)-10x. with work please :)

STatiana [176]

Hey there!
Let's break this expression into two parts:
6(3x-1) and -10x

To solve the first part, we need to use the distributive property which states:
a(b+c) = ab+ac

Applying that to this problem, we have:
6(3x) + 6(-1) =
18x - 6

Now, we can take that -10x and put it right back in:

18x - 6 - 10x

Combine like terms and subtract the 10x from the 18x to get:
8x - 6

Hope this helps!
