Triangles ABC and LBM are similar. We know this because AL and LB have the same length, so that AB is twice as long as either AL or LB. The same goes for MC and BM, and BC. The angle B is the same for both tirangles ABC and LBM, so the side-angle-side postulate tells us the triangles are similar, and in particular that triangle ABC is twice as large as LBM.
All this to say that LM must be half as long as AC, so LM has length (B) 14 cm.
Answer: w=12, y=6√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the figure, we can split the triangle into 2 separate triangles. One on the left and one on the left. The triangle on the right is a 30-60-90 triangle. For this triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x in length. This is directly opposite of the right angle. The leg opposite to 30° is x in length. The leg opposite 60° is x√3 in length. Once you know the length of one side, you can plug in x to find the length of the other legs.
In this case, w and y are located on the same 30-60-90 triangle. Normally we would focus on that triangle to find our values, but in this instance, we don't have any values. We have to use the left triangle to find the leg that both triangles share.
The left triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle. For this triangle, the legs opposite of 45° is x in length. The hypotenuse is x√2. Since we know the hypotenuse, we can use it to find x.
x√2=8
x=8/√2
x=5.7 or 6 [Let's use 6 so that it is easier to work with a whole number]
Now that we know x, we can find w and y. Going back to the right triangle, we know the hypotenuse is 2x. We plug in 6 to find the length.
w=2x
w=2(6)
w=12
We know the leg opposite of 60° is x√3. We can plug in x.
y=6√3
I believe the answer is D. because -12 + -1 equal -13
Answer: The input variable is the number of days since September 9th.. The unit for the input variable is single days.
When you are given an equation, there is an input and an output. In this case, you put in the number of days and the output is the distance between the lava and the road.
If you make a chart of the inputs and outputs, you will see that the lava is getting closer to the road.
