Mathematics
1 answer:
Arada [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

16 km is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

a (Colton to parents' house) = 12 km

b = ?

c (parents' house to grandparents' house) = 20 km

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

a² + b² = c²

12² + b² = 20²

144 + b² = 400

b² = 400 - 144

b² = 256

b = 16

∴ Colton is 16 km away from his grandparents' house.

liq [111]
Let C be the number of cats of the superhero. With this, the number of cats of nemesis have is 3C/4 + 7. The numbers should be equal such that,
                                     C = 3C/4 + 7
The value of C from the equation is 28. Thus, the number of cats of the nemesis is 28.

In triangle MNO shown below, segment NP is an altitude:
Effectus [21]

Answer:  C. Definition of an Altitude

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In triangle MNO shown below, segment NP is an altitude from the right angle.

Let ∠MNP=x

Then ∠PNO=90°-x

Therefore in triangle MNO,

∠MPN=∠NPO =90°  [by definition of Altitude]

[Definition of altitude : A line which passes through a vertex of a triangle, and joins the opposite side forming right angles. ]

Now using angle sum property in ΔMNP

∠MNP+∠MPN+∠PMN=180°

⇒x+90°+∠PMN=180°

⇒∠PMN=180°-90°-x

⇒∠PMN=90°-x

Now, in ΔMNO and ΔPNO

∠PMN=∠PNO=90°-x

and ∠MPN=∠NPO =90°  [by definition of altitude]

Therefore by AA similarity postulate, we have

ΔMNO ≈ ΔPNO

<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

Here's how the verification would look like

\frac{\sin^2x+\cos^2x}{\cos x} = \sec x

\frac{1}{\cos x} = \sec x using the identity here

\sec x =  \sec x
