Answer:
- 56.25 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
As per diagram, the two triangles are similar, as all angles are congruent (one is vertical, one is right, one is the
Let the distance across the river be x.
<u>The ratio of corresponding sides is same. Find x using ratios:</u>
- x/45 = 75/60
- x = 45*75/60
- x = 56.25 feet

if we were to place <5, 12> in standard position, so it'd be originating from 0,0, then the rise is 12 and the run is 5.
so any other vector that has a negative reciprocal slope to it, will then be perpendicular or "orthogonal" to it.
so... for example a parallel to <-12, 5> is say hmmm < -144, 60>, if you simplify that fraction, you'd end up with <-12, 5>, since all we did was multiply both coordinates by 12.
or using a unit vector for those above, then
