Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Her angle of depression is the same measure as the angle of inclination inside the triangle. That's the base angle that is not the right angle. The height of the triangle is the 10,000 feet she is up in the air, and the reference angle is 20, and we are looking for the measure of the base of this right triangle. The trig ratio that uses the side opposite over the side adjacent is the tangent ratio:

$tan(20)=\frac{10000}{x}$ and

$x=\frac{10000}{tan20}$ so

x = 27474.77 feet

6) If the perimeter of the equilateral triangle ABC is x inches. The mid points of the sides are joined to form the smaller tria

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

96 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the midpoints of the sides are joined to form the smaller triangle, then the perimeter of the smaller triangle is half the perimeter of the greater triangle, because the sides of the smaller triangle are midlines of the greater triangle. By the triangle's midline theorem, each triangle's midline is half the side to which this midline is parallel.

So, if the perimeter of 6th triangle is 3 inches, then the perimeter of 5th triangle is 6 inches, the perimeter of 4th triangle is 12 inches, the perimeter of 3rd triangle is 24 in, the perimeter of 2nd triangle is 48 in and the perimeter of the initial triangle is 96 in

Y-intercept = (0, 2) slope = -3/7 what is the equation?

Marianna [84]

Answer:

y = -(3/7)x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached)

recall that the slope-intercept form of a linear equation is

y = mx + b

where m = slope = given as -(3/7)

and b = y-intercept = 2
