The sun shines at a 30° angle to the ground. To the nearest inch, how long is the shadow cast by a 72-in. tall fence post?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The length of the shadow is 124.7 in

Explanation:

Given:

Angle, θ = 30°

Height of the fence, h = 72 in

Length of the shadow, l = ?

Given:

tan 30° = $\frac{perpendicular}{base} = \frac{height of the fence}{length of the shadow}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } = \frac{72}{l} \\\\l = 72\sqrt{3} \\\\l = 124.7 in$

Therefore, the length of the shadow is 124.7 in

a certain triangle has a perimeter of 3067 mi. the shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side and the longest side m

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the measure of the shortest side

y ---> the measure of the middle side

z ---> the measure of the longest side

we know that

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

$P=x+y+z$

$P=3,067\ mi$

$3,067=x+y+z$ ----> equation A

the shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side

$x=y-71$ ----> equation B

the longest side measures 372 mi more the the middle side

$z=y+372$ ----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

$3,067=(y-71)+y+(y+372)$

solve for y

$3,067=3y+301\\3y=2,766\\y=922$

Find the value of x

$x=y-71\\x=922-71\\x=851$

therefore

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles

Point M is the midpoint of AB . AM=3x+3, and AB=8x−6. What is the length of AM?

MissTica

AM=3x+3
AB=8x-6
AB=2AM
AM=AB/2
AM=(8x-6)/2
AM=4x-3
3x+3=4x-3
4x-3x=3+3
x=6

AM=3x+3
AM=3(6)+3
AM=18+3
AM=21

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x+2y=8 and goes through the point (-5,2)

kifflom [539]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{2}{3}(x+5)+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line 3x+2y=8 and passes through (-5,2).

The given line can be expressed as:

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{2}x+4$

We can see the slope of this line is m1=-3/2.

The slopes of two perpendicular lines, say m1 and m2, meet the condition:

$m_1.m_2=-1$

Solving for m2:

$\displaystyle m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}$

$\displaystyle m_2=-\frac{1}{-\frac{3}{2}}$

$\displaystyle m_2=\frac{2}{3}$

Now we know the slope of the new line, we use the slope-point form of the line:

$y=m(x-h)+k$

Where m is the slope and (h,k) is the point. Using the provided point (-5,2):

$\boxed{\displaystyle y=\frac{2}{3}(x+5)+2}$
