Annie walks 15 feet away from her house and places a mirror on the ground. She backs 4 feet away from the mirror so that she can

see the tip of the roof. Annie's eyes are 5 feet above the ground. Annie and the house are both perpendicular to the ground. The angles between the top of the house, the mirror, and the ground and between Annie's eyes, the mirror, and the ground are congruent as shown in the image below:
Image depicts a mirror on the ground between a person and a house. The mirror is 4 feet away from the person and 15 feet away f

Answer:

The house is 18.75 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar by the AA postulate.  

We are given the length of the bottom sides of the triangles, 4 and 15 respectively.  

Thus, the ratio is 4:15

We are also given the height of Annie's eyes, which is 5 feet. The height of the side that corresponds to the house is 5, so we can set up a proportion.

\frac{4}{15}  = \frac{5}{x} \\4x = (5*15) = 75\\x = \frac{74}{4} \\x = 18.75

Thus, the house is 18.75 feet tall.

Find the equation of the line. Use exact numbers.
damaskus [11]

Answer: y=4x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

I know b is -9 because there's where the line crosses the y intersection.

y=mx-9

To find ''m'', we can use 2 different methods. I'm going to use one that follows a formula. First, locate two points in the graph.

(0,-9);(3,3)

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ m=\frac{3-(-9)}{3-0}\\ m=\frac{3+9}{3}\\ m=\frac{12}{3}\\ m=4

y=4x-9

1. Remember what we know about vertical angles and solve for x. (SHOW WORK)
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Ans.1.)      X = 7.

Ans.2.a.)  AC =JL.

Ans.2.b.)  BC = KL.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Question 1.

As we know vertically opposite angles are equal.

\therefore (x+16)\° = (4x-5)\°\\\therefore (5+16)\° = (4x-x)\°\\ \therefore (3x) = (21)\\\therefore x = 7\\

For Question 2.a)

In\ \triangle ABC and \triangle JKL \\AB \cong JK\ \textrm{Given}\\\angle CAB \cong \angle LJK\ \textrm{each measure angle of 90\°}\\AC \cong JL\ \textrm{this is the required information to prove the triangles are congruent by SAS postulate}\\\therefore \triangle ABC \cong \triangle JKL\ \textrm{ By SAS postulate}

For Question 2.b)

In\ \triangle ABC and \triangle JKL \\AB \cong JK\ \textrm{Given}\\\angle CAB \cong \angle LJK\ \textrm{each measure angle of 90\°}\\BC \cong KL\ \textrm{this is the required information to prove the triangles are congruent by HL Theorem}\\\therefore \triangle ABC \cong \triangle JKL\ \textrm{ By Hypotenuse length Theorem}
