Answer:

The length of the shadow is 48.28 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The flagpole at its shadow form a 46, 44, 90 triangle.

Let AB be the flagpole.  AC is the shadow.

Let's use the sine law to calculate AC.

\frac{AC}{sin(44)}=\frac{50}{sin(46)}\\AC=\sin(44)*\frac{50}{sin(46)}AC=48.28

<h3>How do we measure and calculate the distance in Geometry?</h3>

The distance between two points in geometry can be calculated by using the Pythagoras theorem.

Mathematically, the Pythagoras theorem can be expressed as:

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{x^2 +y^2}}

where;

  • x and y are opposite and adjacent sides respectively.

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{(9)^2 +(12)^2}}

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{81+144}}

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{225}}

d = 15 miles  

Therefore, we can conclude that they will be 15 miles apart after one hour if they left the same point at the same time.

Help me find the slope
shusha [124]

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as \frac{rise}{run},

So the line goes down 6 instead of rising, making the rise negative: -6

The line goes over 4, making the run: 4

So -6/4 or -3/2
