Find the length of GV¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A. 43.92 B. 33.1 C. 41.45 D. 68.87
1 answer:
Answer:
<h3>The answer is option A</h3>Step-by-step explanation:
Since the figure above is a right angled triangle we can use trigonometric ratios to find GV
To find GV we use cosine
cos∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse
From the question
GV is the adjacent
GC is the hypotenuse
So we have
<h3>GC = 55°
<h3 /><h3>GV</h3><h3>GV = 55 cos 37
GV = 43.92495
We have the final answer as
<h3>GV = 43.92</h3>Hope this helps you

When stone hits the ground, it's height will be zero, and since we're finding the time that's required for the stone to hit the ground, we can set h = 0 and solve for t.
Part A:
x + y = 9
4x + y = 6
To solve this system using substitution, begin by isolating either x or y in the first equation. I'll isolate x.
x + y = 9
x = 9 - y
Substitute this expression (9 - y) into the second equation for x and solve.
4x + y = 6
4(9 - y) + y = 6
36 - 4y + y = 6
36 - 3y = 6
-3y = -30
y = 10
To find x, substitute 10 for y into either of the original equations.
x + y = 9
x + 10 = 9
x = -1
Finally, check all work by substituting the x- and y-values into each original equation.
x + y = 9 --> -1 + 10 = 9 --> 9 = 9 --> True
4x + y = 6 --> 4(-1) + 10 = 6 --> -4 + 10 = 6 --> 6 = 6 --> True
The answer for Part A is x = -1 and y = 10; (-1, 10).
Part B:
For graphing, it's easier to get the equations into slope-intercept form. Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To get our equations into slope-intercept form, we must simply isolate y.
x + y = 9
y = 9 - x
y = -x + 9
4x + y = 6
y = 6 - 4x
y = -4x + 6
Now that we have our slope-intercept equations, we can easily graph them, since their slopes and y-intercepts are readily visible.
Let's start with the y-intercepts. They are (0, 9) and (0, 6). You can plot those points on the graph.
Now, the slopes. The slope of the first line is -1, this means it declines. To plot this, start where you plotted the y-intercept, count one unit down, and then one unit to the right, and plot that point. Continue doing that and connect the dots, and you will have plotted the first line. The slope of the second line is -4, so it also declines. For this line, count four units down, and then one to the right and plot that point. Likewise, continue this and connect the coordinates, and you will have your line. (See attachment for graph.)
The lines do indeed intersect at (-1, 10); our answer is verified by graphing.
