Triangle $ABC$ has a right angle at $B$. Legs $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{CB}$ are extended past point $B$ to points $D$ and

$E$, respectively, such that $\angle EAC = \angle ACD = 90^\circ$. Prove that $EB \cdot BD = AB \cdot BC$.

Answer:

Given :

ABC is a right triangle in which ∠ABC = 90°,

Also, Legs AB and CB are extended past point B to points D and E,

Such that,

\angle EAC = \angle ACD = 90^{\circ}

To prove :

EB\times BD=AB\times BC

Proof :

In triangles AEC and EBA,

∠EAC= ∠ABE ( right angles )

∠CEA = ∠AEB ( common angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

\triangle AEC \sim \triangle EBA,

Similarly,

\triangle AEC \sim \triangle ABC

\implies\triangle EBA\sim \triangle ABC-----(1)

Now, In triangles ADC and CBD,

∠ACD = ∠CBD ( right angles )

∠ADC= ∠BDC ( common angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

\triangle ADC \sim \triangle CBD,

Similarly,

\triangle ADC \sim \triangle ABC

\implies \triangle CBD\sim \triangle ABC-----(2)

From equations (1) and (2),

\triangle EBA\sim \triangle CBD

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are in same proportion,

\frac{EB}{BC}=\frac{AB}{BD}

\implies EB\times BD=AB\times BC

Hence, proved....

What is the reference angle of -3 radians? Explain.
Korolek [52]

Reference angle of -3 radians is α= - 171° 53 min 15 sec .

We know the formula for calculating circular arc

Let l=circular arc which ic according to central angle of the circle α

l=((2R π)/360)α  Let l=1 radian and R=1 (unit circle with radius R=1)

1= ((2π)/360)α => α= 360/(2π)= 180/π= 57° 17 min 45sec

Angle of the 1 radian is equal to angle 57° 17min 45sec

According to this

angle of the  -3 radians = -3 ( 57° 17min 45sec) = - 171° 53min 15sec

when you count in the clockwise direction.

Good luck!!!

Matt is the catcher for his schools baseball team. The catcher must be able to throw from home plate to the second base. What is
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The distance from one base to the next is 90 ft. You can make a right triangle with two sides being 90 ft and the long side being the distance between home and second. Then you use the pythagorean theorem to find that distance.

90^2 + 90^2 = d^2

d = sqrt (16200) = 127.28 ft
