Taylor Swift wants to find the distance, AB, across a river. She starts at point B and walks along the edge of the river 94 ft a

nd marks point C. Then she walks 76 ft further and marks point D. She turns 90° and walks until her final location and marks point E. Point E, point A, and point C are collinear.

Answer:

A) Ms. Swift can conclude that hey are similar, because line E,C,A is collinear, and they both are right triangles.

B) 158.3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Having a collinear line makes the triangles similar, and because of their collinear line they are both right triangles.

B) The question tells you DE is 103 ft. You take 76ft and Square it giving you 5776ft You then take 103 and square it giving you 10609ft adding them together gives you 16385ft you take the square root of it and it gives you the hypotenuse of triangle CDE. To get the hypotenuse of triangle ABC you take The expression (AB/DE)=(BC/CD)=(AC/EC) step one (AB/DE)=(94ft/76ft)=AC/DE) step two (103ft/127ft)=(94ft/76ft)=(AC/DE) third step (103ft/127ft)=(94ft/76ft)=(128ft/158.3)

I truly hope this helps! :)

Lana71 [14]
Set s(t) = 0 which means it hits the ground.  The formula doesn't fit the parameters given as it shows that the pitcher is standing on something 37 feet high.
<span>s(t)=-16t^2+140t+37 and has an initial velocity of 140.
Graphing or solving this, t= 9 seconds when it hits the ground.
The velocity V(t) is the derivative of s(t)
V(t) = -32t+140
V(9) = -148 ft/second which is going down

Find the surface area of the tin game case
butalik [34]
To find the surface area you will need to find the area of all 5 surfaces (faces) on the prism.  On a triangular prism there are 2 triangular faces and 3 rectangular faces.  All 3 rectangular faces are the same and the 2 triangular faces are also the same.

To find the area of the triangular faces, you will use the formula for finding the area of a triangle:

A = 1/2bh
     1/2 x 10 x 8.7
A = 43.5 in^2 

To find the area of the rectangular faces, you will use the formula for finding the area of a rectangle:

A = bh
    10 x 3
A = 30 in ^2

30 + 30 + 30 + 43.5 + 43.5 = 177

The minimum amount of wrapping paper needed for the gift is 177 square inches.
