Answer:

The expression that represents the length of 1 of the triangle's legs is y + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two sides equal which are the triangle legs. Let b represent the base of the triangle and l represent one of the triangle's legs. Then, the perimeter, P is given by

P = l + l + b

i.e P = 2l + b

From the question, P = 6y + 12 and b = 4y +2

∴ 6y + 12 = 2l + 4y + 2

6y - 4y + 12 - 2 = 2l

2y + 10 = 2l

∴ 2l = 2y + 10

Then,

l = (2y+10)/2

l = y + 5

Hence, the expression that represents the length of 1 of the triangle's legs is y + 5

A helicopter is flying above a town. the local high school is directly to the east of the helicopter at a 20° angle of depressio
guapka [62]
Answer: 4.5 miles

Explanation:

When you draw the situation you find two triangles.

1) Triangle to the east of the helicopter

a) elevation angle from the high school to the helicopter = depression angle from the helicopter to the high school = 20°

b) hypotensue = distance between the high school and the helicopter

c) opposite-leg to angle 20° = heigth of the helicopter

d) adyacent leg to the angle 20° = horizontal distance between the high school and the helicopter = x

2) triangle to the west of the helicopter

a) elevation angle from elementary school to the helicopter = depression angle from helicopter to the elementary school = 62°

b)  distance between the helicopter and the elementary school = hypotenuse

c) opposite-leg to angle 62° = height of the helicopter

d) adyacent-leg to angle 62° = horizontal distance between the elementary school and the helicopter = 5 - x

3) tangent ratios

a) triangle with the helicpoter and the high school

tan 20° = Height / x ⇒ height = x tan 20°

b) triangle with the helicopter and the elementary school

tan 62° = Height / (5 - x) ⇒ height = (5 - x) tan 62°

c) equal the height from both triangles:

x tan 20° = (5 - x) tan 62°

x tan 20° = 5 tan 62° - x tan 62°

x tan 20° + x tan 62° = 5 tan 62°

x  (tan 20° + tan 62°) = 5 tan 62°

⇒ x = 5 tant 62° / ( tan 20° + tan 62°)

⇒ x = 4,19 miles

=> height = x tan 20° = 4,19 tan 20° = 1,525 miles

4) Calculate the hypotenuse of this triangle:

hipotenuese ² = x² + height ² = (4.19)² + (1.525)² = 19.88 miles²

hipotenuse = 4.46 miles

Rounded to the nearest tenth = 4.5 miles

That is the distance between the helicopter and the high school.
