Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given situation above, we form a right triangle with legs equal to the height of the tree and the length of the shadow it casted. The hypotenuse is the length from the tip of the tree to the tip of the shadow.
The angle at which the ray of the sun hit the ground is that which has a tangent equal to 100 / 150 or 2/3. This angle is equal to 33.69. Thus, the answer is letter B. 34°.
Rectangles are similar figures, thus if scaled copies of each other then the ratios of corresponding sides must be equal
compare ratios of lengths and widths
rectangles A and B
k = = ← ratio of lengths
k = = ← ratio of widths
scale factors are equivalent, hence rectangle A is a scaled copy of B
rectangles C and B
k = = ← ratio of lengths
k = = ← ratio of width
scale factors (k ) are not equal, hence C is not a scaled copy of B
rectangles A and C
k = = ← ratio of lengths
k = ← ratio of widths
the scale factors are not equal hence A is not a scaled copy of C
Answer:
\[y = (-1/2) * x + 6\]
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of the given line: y=2x+2
Hence the slope of the line is given by 2
Any line which is perpendicular to the given line will have a slope m such that m*2 = -1
Or, \[m = \frac{-1}{2}\]
Only options 2 and 3 satisfy this condition.
The line is also supposed to pass through the point (6,3).
Substituting these values in the option 2:
\[3 = (-1/2) * 6 + 3\]
Or, \[ 3 =0 \] which is false . Hence option 2 is not valid.
Now substituting (6,3) in option 3:
\[3 = (-1/2) * 6 + 6\]
Or, \[ 3 =3 \] which is true . Hence option 3 is the required equation of the line.
