Answer:
The shadow is decreasing at the rate of 3.55 inch/min
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the building = 60ft
The shadow of the building on the level ground is 25ft long
Ѳ is increasing at the rate of 0.24°/min
Using SOHCAHTOA,
Tan Ѳ = opposite/ adjacent
= height of the building / length of the shadow
Tan Ѳ = h/x
X= h/tan Ѳ
Recall that tan Ѳ = sin Ѳ/cos Ѳ
X= h/x (sin Ѳ/cos Ѳ)
Differentiate with respect to t
dx/dt = (-h/sin²Ѳ)dѲ/dt
When x= 25ft
tanѲ = h/x
= 60/25
Ѳ= tan^-1(60/25)
= 67.38°
dѲ/dt= 0.24°/min
Convert the height in ft to inches
1 ft = 12 inches
Therefore, 60ft = 60*12
= 720 inches
Convert degree/min to radian/min
1°= 0.0175radian
Therefore, 0.24° = 0.24 * 0.0175
= 0.0042 radian/min
Recall that
dx/dt = (-h/sin²Ѳ)dѲ/dt
= (-720/sin²(67.38))*0.0042
= (-720/0.8521)*0.0042
-3.55 inch/min
Therefore, the rate at which the length of the shadow of the building decreases is 3.55 inches/min

Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Most of this exercise is looking at different ways to identify the slope of the line. The first attachment shows the corresponding "run" (horizontal change) and "rise" (vertical change) between the marked points.
In your diagram, these values (run=1, rise=-3) are filled in 3 places. At the top, the changes are described in words. On the left, they are described as "rise" and "run" with numbers. At the bottom left, these same numbers are described by ∆y and ∆x.
The calculation at the right shows the differences between y (numerator) and x (denominator) coordinates. This is how you compute the slope from the coordinates of two points.
If you draw a line through the two points, you find it intersects the y-axis at y=4. This is the y-intercept that gets filled in at the bottom. (The y-intercept here is 1 left and 3 up from the point (1, 1).)
Answer:
The correct option is C
Step-by-step explanation:
I attached an image that forms the complete question.
The converse Pythagorean theorem states that, "If the square of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the square of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle."
That is if c is the longest side of a triangle and then a and b are the other sides, then if,
c² = a² + b², the triangle is a right triangle.
Looking at all the options, option C fits the theorem well. Because
3² + 4² = 5² implies the triangle is a right triangle and the converse theorem is established.
The option D also looks close, but it's not correct because you can just draw any two sides and put the right angle in between them. The longest is always the part of the triangle that is opposite to the right angle, 90°. If for instance, you draw 3 and 5 then put the right angle in between them, 4 will take the position of the longest side which is wrong.
Therefore, the correct option is c.
