<u>We are given:</u>

a right angled triangle with the angle of elevation = 20 degrees

Hypotenuse of the Triangle = 500 m

<u>Finding the change in Elevation:</u>

We will use trigonometry in the given triangle to find the length of the perpendicular of the triangle

Using trigonometry, we found that the perpendicular = 500 * Sin 20 degrees

Perpendicular = 500 * 0.342           <em>[sin(20 degrees) = 0.342]</em>

Perpendicular = 171 m

The closest value to 171m in the given options is 170m

Therefore, 170m <em>(option B)</em> is correct

Joshua uses the escalator in the shopping mall to get to the ground floor from the underground garage located at (12,-5). Which
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

(4,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial location of Joshua in the shopping mall is expressed according to the coordinate (12, -5)

If he undergoes a translation of 8 steps to the left and 10 steps upwards, this means that he moves 8 steps towards the negative x axis and 10 steps towards the positive y axis. The new coordinate will be gotten by adding the translation (-8, 10) to the initial coordinate as shown

New position = (12, -5) + (-8,10)

New position = (12-8, -5+10)

New position = (4, 5)

Hence the coordinates that corresponds to the location of the ground floor when undergoing a translation of 8 steps to the left and 10 steps upwards will be (4,5)

How do we find the factors of x2 – 64
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The factors of x²-64 is equal to (x-8)(x+8).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

x²-64

we know that, 8² = 64

So,

(x²-8²) = (x-8)(x+8) [As (a-b)(a+b) = a²-b²]

So, the factors of x²-64 i equal to (x-8)(x+8).
