So they're proportional.
This means that the 2 triangles are exactly the same BUT the right one is smaller than the other, so all measurements are smaller too.
So to find the distance, you need to find the scale factor.
Think of it like this: 82m becomes 73.8m, and 92m becomes 82.8m.
Find the scale factor by finding the ratio.
73.8/82 = 9/10 or 0.9
You could do the same thing with the other two numbers too (92/82.8), gives the same answer.
Times the ratio by the distance of the bigger triangle:
0.9 x 47 = 42.3m
The boat is 428.9 feet from the lighthouse.
To solve this, draw a right triangle. You will see that you have an angle of 25 degrees with an opposite side of 200 and the adjacent side is x.
We can write and solve the following tangent equation:
tan(25) = 200 / x
x = 200 / tan(25)
x 428.9
Answer:
x = 5/2 or x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x)(2x)=(x+10)(2x-3)
4x^2 = 2x^2 - 3x + 20x - 30
2x^2 - 17x + 30 = 0
(2x - 5)(x - 6) = 0
x = 5/2 or x = 6
Chaz is correct because will's amount of money that is negative from the checking account is more than Chaz's so therefore will owes more money
