Snow is approximately 1/8 as heavy as water how many inches of snow would it take to weigh as much as 3 1/2inches of rain fall

Snow is 1/8 as heavy as water.
That means 1 cu. Inch of rainfall results in 1/8 cu. Inch of snow
So, 3.5 cu. Inch of rainfall results in [ 1/8* 3.5] cu. Inch of snow
0.4375 cu. Inch of snow
Therefore 0.4375 cu. Inches of snow would weigh as much as 3.5 cu. inches of rainfall.

Which series of transformations will not map figure H onto itself

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a square with vertices at points (2,1), (1,2), (2,3) and (3,2).

Consider option A.

1st transformation $(x+0,y-2)$ will map vertices of the square into points

$(2,1)\rightarrow (2,-1);$
$(1,2)\rightarrow (1,0);$
$(2,3)\rightarrow (2,1);$
$(3,2)\rightarrow (3,0).$

2nd transformation = reflection over y = 1 has the rule (x,2-y). So,

$(2,-1)\rightarrow (2,3);$
$(1,0)\rightarrow (1,2);$
$(2,1)\rightarrow (2,1);$
$(3,0)\rightarrow (3,2)$

These points are exactly the vertices of the initial square.

Consider option B.

1st transformation $(x+2,y-0)$ will map vertices of the square into points

$(2,1)\rightarrow (4,1);$
$(1,2)\rightarrow (3,2);$
$(2,3)\rightarrow (4,3);$
$(3,2)\rightarrow (5,2).$

2nd transformation = reflection over x = 3 has the rule (6-x,y). So,

$(4,1)\rightarrow (2,1);$
$(3,2)\rightarrow (3,2);$
$(4,3)\rightarrow (2,3);$
$(5,2)\rightarrow (1,2)$

These points are exactly the vertices of the initial square.

Consider option C.

1st transformation $(x+3,y+3)$ will map vertices of the square into points

$(2,1)\rightarrow (5,4);$
$(1,2)\rightarrow (4,5);$
$(2,3)\rightarrow (5,6);$
$(3,2)\rightarrow (6,5).$

2nd transformation = reflection over y = -x + 7 will map vertices into points

$(5,4)\rightarrow (3,2);$
$(4,5)\rightarrow (2,3);$
$(5,6)\rightarrow (1,2);$
$(6,5)\rightarrow (2,1)$

These points are exactly the vertices of the initial square.

Consider option D.

1st transformation $(x-3,y-3)$ will map vertices of the square into points

$(2,1)\rightarrow (-1,-2);$
$(1,2)\rightarrow (-2,-1);$
$(2,3)\rightarrow (-1,0);$
$(3,2)\rightarrow (0,-1).$

2nd transformation = reflection over y = -x + 2 will map vertices into points

$(-1,-2)\rightarrow (4,3);$
$(-2,-1)\rightarrow (3,4);$
$(-1,0)\rightarrow (2,3);$
$(0,-1)\rightarrow (3,2)$

These points are not the vertices of the initial square.

An observer standing on a cliff 320 feet above the ocean measured angles of depression of the near and far sides of an island to

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

154.10 Feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Height (h) of cliff = 320 feet

Angle of depression of near side = 16.5°

Angle of depression of far side = 10.5°

Using trigonometry :

We can obtain x and y as shown in the attached picture :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Adjacent = height of cliff = 320 Feets

For the near side :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan (16.5°) = x / 320

0.2962134 = x / 320

x = 0.2962134 * 320

x = 94.788318 Feets

For the far side :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan (10.5°) = x / 320

0.1853390 = x / 320

x = 0.1853390 * 320

x = 59.308494 Feets

Length of island = (59.308494 + 94.788318) feet

= 154.10 Feets
