Answer:

A. tan 38° = opposite/adjacent

opposite = (tan 38°)(adjacent)

opposite = (0.31)(17 ft)

opposite = 5.27 ft

B. height is = 5.27 ft

M is the incenter of triangle ABC. Find the lengths of MD and DC. (Look at pic)

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Part 1) $MD=9\ units$

Part 2) $DC=12\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the length of MD

we know that

The incenter is the intersection of the angle bisectors of the three vertices of the triangle. Is the point forming the origin of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

In this problem

$MD=ME=MF$ ------> is the radius of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

we have that

$MF=9\ units$

therefore

$ME=9\ units$

$MD=9\ units$

Step 2

Find the length of DC

we know that

In the right triangle MDC

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

$MC^{2} =MD^{2}+DC^{2}$

we have

$MD=9\ units$

$MC=15\ units$

substitute

$15^{2} =9^{2}+DC^{2}$

$DC^{2}=225-81$

$DC=\sqrt{144}\ units$

$DC=12\ units$

La ecuación de la recta que pasa por los puntos (2,-1) y (1,-5) es:

77julia77 [94]

Given:

A line passes through the points (2,-1) and (1,-5).

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

If a line passes through the two points, then the equation of the line is

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

The line passes through the points (2,-1) and (1,-5). So, the equation of the line is

$y-(-1)=\dfrac{-5-(-1)}{1-2}(x-2)$

$y+1=\dfrac{-5+1}{-1}(x-2)$

$y+1=\dfrac{-4}{-1}(x-2)$

$y+1=4(x-2)$

Using distributive property, we get

$y+1=4(x)+4(-2)$

$y+1=4x-8$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$y+1-1=4x-8-1$

$y=4x-9$

Therefore, the correct option is B.

The answer to the question “On average, how many pages are in a novel?” would be measured by which scale?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

In the days of the typewriter, a double-spaced page with 1-inch margins would hold an average of 250 words. So you could assume that since 4 pages<span> = </span>1000<span> words</span>
