quick question heh.... How do you know when to use the Secant-Secant Prodict Theorem or the Secant-Tangent Product Theorem?

You use the theorem you can apply to your problem.

If there is no tangent, the secant-tangent product theorem cannot apply.
If you don't have two secants, the secant-secant product theorem cannot apply.

John made a triangle with all three sides the same length, 1 \frac{2}{3} ft. What is the perimeter of the triangle?

UNO [17]

Answer:

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If all sides are of the same length, we can multiply the value of one side by 3, because a triangle has three sides (and the perimeter is all sides added together), to find the perimeter.

$1\frac{2}{3}$ × 3

$1\frac{2}{3}$ can be rewritten as $\frac{5}{3}$ , so:

$\frac{5}{3}$ × $\frac{3}{1}$

$= \frac{15}{3}$

The numerator & denominator share a common factor of 3, so:

5 ft is the final answer/perimeter.

hope this helps!

SOLUTION: a diver jumps from a diving board that is 24 feet above the water. the height of the diver is given by h= -16(t-1.5)(t

lara [203]

Answer:

The diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$h= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

Required (Missing from the question)

When will the diver hit the water?

To do this, we simply solve for t

When the diver hits the water, the height is 0 (at that point)

So, substitute 0 for h in $h= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$0= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

Divide both sides by -16

$\frac{0}{-16} =\frac{-16(t-1.5)(t+1)}{-16}$

$\frac{0}{-16} =(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$0 =(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$(t-1.5)(t+1)=0$

Split

$t - 1.5 = 0$ or $t + 1 = 0$

Solve for t

$t = 1.5$ or $t = -1$

But time (t) can not be negative.

So:

$t = 1.5$

Hence, the diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds

Judi's father is 6 feet tall. how many inches is 6 feet tall

kati45 [8]

One feet is equal to 12 inches, so if we multiply 12 x 6 the answer is 72. So 72 inches equal 6 feet.
