Answer:

ΔABC ~ ΔPQR
PQ = 8
PR = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles A and P are marked congruent; angles B and Q are marked congruent, so the triangles are similar by the AA similarity postulate. The similarity statement can be written ...

ΔABC ~ ΔPQR by AA similarity

The ratio of sides of PQR to ABC is the ratio QR/BC = 12/6 = 2. That is, each side in the larger triangle is 2 times the length of the corresponding smaller side.

PQ = 2·AB = 2·4 = 8

PR = 2·AC = 2·7 = 14

The side lengths of interest are ...

PQ = 8, PR = 14

A ball rolls over the edge of a platform with only a horizontal velocity. The height of the platform is 1.6 m and the horizontal

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

35 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let gravitational acceleration g = 9.8m/s2. We can calculate the amount of time for the ball to fall vertically a distance of 1.6 m

$1.6 = 9.8t^2/2$

$t^2 = 2*1.6/9.8 = 0.327$

$t = \sqrt{0.327} = 0.571s$

This is also the time it takes for the ball to fly horizontally, assume constant horizontal speed, we can calculate the speed it takes to travel across 20m in 0.571s

v = 20 / 0.571 = 35 m/s
