A group of employees is stranded on top of a 120 feet building because a fire occurred. Your goal is to throw a rope from a 60 f

Paul [167]

Step-by-step explanation:

-16t² + 64t + 60 = 120

this is a quadratic equation, and its points of f(t) = 0 can be calculated. there are usual 2 such solutions for a quadratic equation.

so, we need to bring it to a form that ends in "= 0".

-16t² + 64t - 60 = 0

that is also the same as

-4t² + 16t - 15 = 0

the formula for the solutions of such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

a = -4

b = 16

c = -15

so,

t = (-16 ± sqrt(256 - 4×-4×-15))/(2×-4) =

= (-16 ± sqrt(256 - 240))/-8 =

= (-16 ± sqrt(16))/-8 = (-16 ± 4)/-8

t1 = (-16 + 4)/-8 = -12/-8 = 3/2

t2 = (-16 - 4)/-8 = -20/-8 = 5/2

so, it depends on what the unit of time t is. let's assume seconds.

therefore, the rope will reach the top of the building while going up after 3/2 = 1 1/2 = 1.5 seconds.

and then, as the shot rope makes a curve and comes back down again (that is why we have 2 solutions : the rope will reach the height of 120ft during its flight path twice : once while still going up, and once when coming back down again) it will be at the height of the top of the building after 5/2 = 2 1/2 = 2.5 seconds.

so, it depends if the people there can grab it at the first chance, and if the path of the rope would allow them to grab it also again on its way back down. this we don't know.

I therefore guess, that your teacher is aiming for the first solution.

Someone, please help! I'm really confused

The correct pair is option E, which is:

FH ≅ FH - reflexive property

ΔGFH ≅ ΔEFH - SAS theorem

<h3>What is the SAS Congruence Theorem?</h3>

The SAS theorems states that two triangles are congruent if they have two pairs of congruent sides and a pair of congruent included angles.

<h3>What is the Reflexive Property?</h3>

The reflexive property of geometry states that an angle or line will always be congruent to itself.

In the two column-proof, since FH = FH using the reflexive property, then both triangles are congruent to each other by the SAS congruence theorem.

The missing pair of reasons that completes the proof are:

FH ≅ FH - reflexive property

ΔGFH ≅ ΔEFH - SAS theorem
