Answer:

AC:y=x-1  CB:y=-x-5 AB:x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the triangle. The base AB is on the line x=0, the vertex C is (-2,-3)

The side AC is equal to BC. The angle ACB is 90 degrees. If the base is on the line x=o, it is on the axis Y.Explore the distance from the point C to the AB

c(-2,-3), the distance to the axis Y is equal to the modul of the coordinate x (-2), it is 2. The coordinates of point projected by the point C to the axis Y is N(0,-3). The modul of the height is 2, the height of the isosceles triangle to the base is the bisectrix, so the angle BCA is 90/2=45degrees, CBA is 180-90-45=45 degrees too

the heigt CN is equal to side NB, NB=2

Suppose B is (0,y) (x=0 because the base is on this line)

THe modul of the vector NB is equal to sqrt ((0-0)^2+(y+3)^2)= 2

modul (y+3)= 2

y=-1 or y=-5

(0,-1), (0,-5) - two points, one of them (suppose B) is (0,-5) when A is (0,-1) (A is remote from the point N on the same distance with B, because AB is the median too)

Find CB and AC

Use the equation for AC

(x-0)/(-2-0)= (y+1)/(-3+1)

x/-2= (y+1)/-2

x=y+1

y=x-1

For CB

(x-0)/ (-2-0)= (y+5)/ (-3-(-5))

x/-2= (y+5)/2

-x=y+5

y=-x-5

mote1985 [20]
The length would be 230, and the width would be 170, and since there are 4 sides there would be 2 of each. So 230x2=460 and 170x2=340. 460+340= 800

I just don't know where to start. I'm doing Algebra 2 stuff with sohcahtoa.
mezya [45]

Hello!

As you can see, 22 is the opposite angle. We are looking for the adjacent angle. Let's just call it x. Using SOH CAH TOA, we see that the tangent is the opposite divided by the adjacent side. Let's use that.

tan54≈1.38

This gives us the equation below.

1.38=22/x

Let's solve this equation for x.

1.38x=22

x=22/1.38

x=15.94

Therefore, the length of the shadow is about 15.94 meters.

I hope this helps!

Solve the M <br> -5 m = -35
dedylja [7]

Answer: <em>m = 7</em>

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, since a -5 is being multiplied by <em>m</em>, in order to get <em>m</em> by itself, we must divide both sides of the equation by -5.

On the left side, our -5's cancel out and we are left with <em>m</em>. On the right side, -35 ÷ -5 gives us 7. So m = 7.

To check our answer, we plug 7 back in for <em>m</em> in the original equation and we get -5 (7) = -35 which is a true statement so we know our answer is correct.

Don't just do this problem in your head. It's extremely important to develop the habit of putting all your steps down on paper or digitally. It will really pay off for you down the line.
