Answer:

10.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the blocks are square, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal distance.

d² = 9² +5² = 81 +25 = 106

d = √106 ≈ 10.3

Jennifer is about 10.3 blocks from home.

$\star \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) }$

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

Consider a $\triangle$ ABC right angled at C and $\sf \angle \: B = \theta$

Then,

‣ Base [B] = BC

‣ Perpendicular [P] = AC

‣ Hypotenuse [H] = AB

$\therefore \tt \cot \theta = \dfrac{Base}{ Perpendicular} = \dfrac{BC}{AC} = \dfrac{7}{8}$

Let,

Base = 7k and Perpendicular = 8k, where k is any positive integer

In $\triangle$ ABC, H² = B² + P² by Pythagoras theorem

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = {BC}^{2} + {AC}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = {(7k)}^{2} + {(8k)}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = 49{k}^{2} + 64{k}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = 113{k}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt AB = \sqrt{113 {k}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt AB = \red{ \sqrt{113} \: k}$

Calculating Sin $\sf \theta$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{AC}{AB}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{8 \cancel{k}}{ \sqrt{113} \: \cancel{ k } }$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \purple{ \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{113} } }$

Calculating Cos $\sf \theta$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{BC}{ AB}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{7 \cancel{k}}{ \sqrt{113} \: \cancel{k } }$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \purple{ \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{113} } }$

<u>Solving the given expression</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) }$

Putting,

• Sin $\sf \theta$ = $\dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{113} }$

• Cos $\sf \theta$ = $\dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ \bigg(1 + \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) \bigg(1 - \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) }{\bigg(1 + \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) \bigg(1 - \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg)}$

<u>Using</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>b</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>b</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>a²</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>b²</u>

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ { \bigg(1 \bigg)}^{2} - { \bigg( \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133} } \bigg)}^{2} }{ { \bigg(1 \bigg)}^{2} - { \bigg( \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133} } \bigg)}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{1 - \dfrac{64}{113} }{ 1 - \dfrac{49}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ \dfrac{113 - 64}{113} }{ \dfrac{113 - 49}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt { \dfrac { \dfrac{49}{113} }{ \dfrac{64}{113} } }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt { \dfrac{49}{113} }÷{ \dfrac{64}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{49}{ \cancel{113}} \times \dfrac{ \cancel{113}}{64}$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{49}{64}$

$\qquad \: \therefore \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) } = \pink{\dfrac{49}{64} }$

Please help me look at the picture

harina [27]

The answer is choice A.

We're told that the left and right walls of the cube (LMN and PQR) are parallel planes. Any line contained in one of those planes will not meet another line contained in another plane. With choice A, it's possible to have the front and back walls be non-parallel and still meet the initial conditions. If this is the case, then OS won't be paralle to NR. Similarly, LP won't be parallel to MQ.
