Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: it looks right to me but who knows
1. And the meeting house windows, blank and bare, / Gaze at him with a spectral glare.
This is a <em>couplet</em>. You can tell this because there are two lines, a couple, as indicated by the slash between the phrases, as well as the end words rhyming.
2. A glimmer, and then a gleam of light / He springs to the saddle, the bridle he turns / But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight / A second lamp in the belfry burns.
This excerpt, I believe, is meant to highlight the <em>end rhymes</em>. You see, in the first and third lines, the last words rhyme, and the second and fourth lines' last words rhyme.
3. ...the Mystic meeting...
Seeing as how this is so incredibly short, and both "mystic" and "meeting" start with an "m", it is safe to assume that this is meant to highlight an <em>alliteration</em>. An alliteration is when two or more words in a row start with the same letter. A famous alliteration is in the tongue twister, "she sells seashells by the sea shore."
4. ...like a sentinel's thread / The watchful night wind...
This is a <em>simile</em>. Both similes and metaphors compare one thing to something generally more abstract in order to describe it better. In order to tell if something is a simile or a metaphor is to look for the words "like" or "as," because those are used in similes, but not metaphors. Since this uses the word "like," it is safe to assume that this is a simile.
Answer:
The ladder can reach a height of 22.6 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the height that the ladder can reach, you need to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem assumes that the house to the ground will form a right triangle and the leaning ladder is the hypotenuse. Using the formula: a² + b² = c², we can plug in the values that we know and solve for the missing variable. In this case we know the base of the triangle 'b' and the hypotenuse 'c': a² + 8² = 24² or a² + 64 = 576. To solve for a, we must first subtract 64 from both sides: a² + 64 - 64 = 576 - 64 or a² = 512. In order to find just the value of 'a', which represents the height, we need to take the square root of both sides: √a² = √512 or a ≈ 22.6 feet.
Answer:
46.1 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Width= 30in
Height= 35in
To find the diagonal, we have to use the Pythagoras theorem
z^2= x^2+y^2
z^2= 30^2+ 35^2
z^2= 900+1225
z^2= 2125
z= √2125
z= 46.09
Hence the diagonal of the TV is 46.1 in
