In order to figure out whether Luis or Isabella skates farther to get to school, we have to create a common denominator between the two fractions that represent the distance that each person walks.
The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. This means that we have to change both fractions into equal fractions with denominators of 12.
To figure this out, we must set up a proportion.
2/3 = x/12
To solve this proportion, we must cross-multiply the fractions. We get:
24 = 3x
If we divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3, to get the variable x alone, we get:
x = 8
Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12, so Luis skates 8/12 mile from his home to school.
If we do the same process for the 2/4 mile to get to school for Isabella, we get 6/12, because both fractions are equal to 1/2.
Therefore, we know that Luis skates 8/12 mile to school and Isabella skates 6/12 mile to get to school. Because they have the same denominator, we can just compare the numerators. We know that 8 is greater than 6, thus Luis skates farther to get to school.
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the length of RT by using the Pythagorean theorem
sin theta = opposite side/ hypotenuse
sin 60 = 2 sqrt(3)/ RT
Multiply each side by RT
RT sin 60 = 2 sqrt(3)
Divide by sin 60
RT = 2 sqrt(3)/ sin 60
RT = 4
Then
tan theta = opposite side/ adjacent side
tan 45 = x/RT
tan 45 = x/4
4 tan 45 = x
4 = x

Answer:
<em>The firefighter should extend the ladder at 54° of elevation.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Trigonometric Ratios</u>
The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios. There are six trigonometric ratios, sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent.
The longest side of the triangle is called the hypotenuse and the other two sides are the legs.
Selecting any of the acute angles as a reference, it has an adjacent side and an opposite side. The trigonometric ratios are defined upon those sides.
<em>Tangent Ratio:</em>
The woman is trapped at 91 feet up from the ground, and the firetruck is 67 feet away from the building.
The wall, the ground, and the ladder form a right triangle, where θ is the horizontal angle of the ladder.
Being the height of the woman the opposite leg and the distance where the firetruck is parked, the adjacent leg:
The angle is calculated as the inverse tangent:
The firefighter should extend the ladder at 54° of elevation.
Answer would be 58.5 yd^2 .
You should take the base of the triangle multiplied by the height.
Formula: 1/2×base×height
In this case, you know that base is 13yd and height is 9 yd.
So, apply the formula.
Area = 1/2(13yd)(9yd) = 58.5 yd^2
*Do not include the " invisible length as it is not part of the actual triangle.
*Do not include 32yd as it is a hypotenuse and not a base. Hypotenuse is a side that is opposite a right angle triangle.
