Ruby stands at 5 feet tall her shadow is 6 feet long how far is it form the top of her head to the end of the shadow

Mathematics
1 answer:
alisha [4.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 7.81 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This scenario forms a right-angled triangle where Ruby's height of 5 feet is the height of the triangle. Her 6 feet long shadow is the length of the triangle and the distance from the top of her head to the end of the shadow is the hypotenuse.

This can therefore be solved by the Pythagorean formula:

c² = a² + b²

where ;

c = hypotenuse

a = height

b = length

c² = 5² + 6²

c² = 25 + 36

c² = 61

c = √61

c = 7.81 feet

49x - 21y = -1,470<br><br> put in slope intercept form
Paul [167]

Answer:

Slope intercept form:

<em>y = mx + b</em>

What we are given:

49x - 21y = -1,470

we need to keep y on the left side so we subtract 49x from both sides;

-49x            -49x

-21y = -49x - 1,470

we need to make y one so we divide by -21 from both sides;

÷-21                ÷-21

y = -49x/-21 - 70

which simplifies to

y = 7x/3 - 70

Can someone please explain<br> AAS<br> SAS<br> SSS<br> ASA <br> CPCTC
Lostsunrise [7]

The Angle Angle Side postulate (often abbreviated as AAS) states that if two angles and the non-included side one triangle are congruent to two angles and the non-included side of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.

The Side Angle Side postulate (often abbreviated as SAS) states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.

SSS stands for "side, side, side" and means that we have two triangles with all three sides equal. For example: is congruent to: (See Solving SSS Triangles to find out more) If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

ASA stands for "angle, side, angle" and means that we have two triangles where we know two angles and the included side are equal. If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

CPCTC is an acronym for corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. CPCTC is commonly used at or near the end of a proof which asks the student to show that two angles or two sides are congruent. ... Corresponding means they're in the same position in the 2 triangles.
