The triangles formed by the path of the ball and the wall in the given diagram are similar triangles.

<h3>Correct Response;</h3>

The point on the wall she should aim is; <u>A. 7.8 feet away from point B</u>

<h3 /><h3>Method by which the above value is obtained;</h3>

The possible diagram in the question is attached

Let <em>x</em> represent the distance from point <em>B</em> where the ball lands.

ΔCDE is similar to ΔABE, by Angle-Angle similarity postulate.

By trigonometric ratio, the tangent of the angles ∠CDE and ∠BAE are;

tan(\angle CDE) = \mathbf{\dfrac{20 - x}{25}}

tan(\angle BAE) = \mathbf{ \dfrac{x}{16}}

tan(∠CDE) = tan(∠BAE)

Therefore;

\dfrac{20 - x}{25} = \dfrac{x}{16}

Which gives;

16 × (20 - x) = 25·x

320 = 41·x

x = 320 ÷ 41 ≈ 7.8

The point on the wall she should aim if she's standing at point <em>A</em> is therefore;

  • <u>A, 7.8 feet away from point </u><u><em>B</em></u>

Find the side length of a cube with a volume of 166 m
marin [14]
The answer is 5.5 m.


Cube
Volume = length x width x height

Since the length, width and the height are the same in cube, the formula can be:

Volume = length^3


Let x metres be the side length of the cube.

166 = x^3

x = ∛166

x = 5.495864.....

x = 5.5 (nearest tenth)

Answer:

  2.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  distance = speed × time

We can define t to be Stanley's swimming time. Then t+0.5 was his running time, and 2(t+0.5) was his biking time. His total distance covered is ...

  64 = 9(t +0.5) +16(2(t +0.5)) +2.5(t)

  64 = 43.5t +20.5 . . . . . . . simplify

  43.5 = 43.5t . . . . . . . . . subtract 20.5

  t = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

Stanley swam for 1 hour, so the distance he covered while swimming was ...

  (2.5 mi/h)(1 h) = 2.5 mi

Stanley covered 2.5 miles while swimming.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Stanley ran for 1.5 hours, covering 9×1.5 = 13.5 miles. He biked for 3 hours, covering 16×3 = 48 miles. His total distance was 2.5 +13.5 +48 = 64 miles, as given.

Is anyone able to solve this?
Olenka [21]

Explanation:

To find x we need to find the unknown side that connects the two triangles using the Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c² (c is always hypotenuse)

So:

a² + 6² = 9²

a² = 9² - 6²

a² = 81 - 36

a² = 45

a = sqrt45

Now we do the same thing for the other triangle:

x² + 5² = sqrt45²

x² + 25 = 45

x² = 20

x = 2√5 or 4.5...

I really don’t get this how do I do this:(?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

You are drawing a right triangle. So draw the two lines off of the right angle. Then write 5 along one line. That line is now BC, so you can start naming points and putting in lengths. Then, draw the hypotenuse (AB) going from the end of the line you were writing next to, to the other line. Make sure it is at least twice as long, because it is 13 long. Then, to find the length of the last line,  square 13, and subtract 25 from it. Take that number and find it's square root. You should get 12, which is your answer.
