Answer:

The measurements do not form right angled triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given lengths are 5 mm, 12 mm and 17mm

The longer leg forms the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

Using Pythagorean theorem;

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(5)^2+(12)^2=(17)^2\\25+144=289\\169\neq 289$

Therefore,

The measurements do not form right angled triangle.

A 4-ft vertical post casts a 12-in shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower casts a 118-ft shadow. How tall is the c

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

height of vertical post = 6ft

its shadow = 20 in

For all shadows cast at the same time, the ratio of the height of a shadow-casting structure to the length of its shadow is the same. (Assuming, of course, that it's the sun casting the shadows.)

So the ratio is

4 feet / 12 inches = 4 feet / 1 foot = 4/1 = 4,

and if h is the height of the cell tower,

h/122 feet = 4

h = 4 x 122 feet = 488 feet. <---------------- Final answer

If the gradient of a line joining the points (-2, 6) and (5, b) is 14. Find the value of b.

babunello [35]

Answer:

b = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is expressed as;

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

14 = b - 6/5-(-2)

14 = b - 6/5+2

14 = b-6/7

Cross multiply

b-6 = 14 * 7

b - 6 = 98

b = 98 + 6

b = 104

What is the maximum number of possible solutions for the system shown below?

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation is that of a an ellipse. The second equation is that of a line.

Attached is the graphs of both of these equations.

If you think about it, there can only be 2 possible ways of solutions (intersection points) of an ellipse and a line.

1. The line will not intersect the ellipse at all, so no solution

2. The line will intersect the ellipse at 2 points maximum

So, we can clearly see from the reasoning that the maximum number of possible solutions would be 2. The graph attached confirms this as well.
