To indirectly measure the distance across a river, Nolan stands on one side of the river and uses sight-lines to a landmark on the opposite bank. Nolan draws the diagram below to show the lengths and angles that he measured. Find PRPR, the distance across the river. Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answers

Answer 1

The length of PR to the nearest foot is 198.94 feet

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram, the triangle PRE and POC are similar triangles.

Let PR = x

Based on similarity theorem;

PR/RE = PR+RO/OC

x/135 = (x+140)/230

Cross multiply

230x = 135(x+ 140)

230x = 135x + 18,900

230x - 135x = 18,900

95x = 18900

x =18900/95

x = 198.94

Hence the length of PR to the nearest foot is 198.94 feet

so 2y+10=x+4

2y-x=-6

Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x-3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the equation y=-2x+5 and we want to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that line, and pass through the point (-4, -5)

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1.

So to find the slope of the perpendicular line: use the formula [tex]m_1*m_2=-1[/tex], where [tex]m_1=-2[/tex]

Substitute:

-2m=-1

Divide both sides by -2

m=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Here's the equation of the line so far, as we know it, written in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept):

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]

We need to find b.

Because we know the line passes through the point (-4, -5), we can use it to help solve for b.

Substitute -4 as x and -5 as y

[tex]-5=\frac{1}{2}(-4)+b[/tex]

Multiply:

-5=-2+b

Add 2 to both sides

-3=b

Substitute -3 as b:

y=[tex]\frac{1}{2}x-3[/tex]

If AM = x + 8 and MB= 6x – 2, find MB.

Answers

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, AM=x+8

or, A=x+8-M......eqn (i)

MB=6x-2

or, B=6x-2-M......eqn (ii)

Now,

from eqn (i) and (ii)

x+8-M=6x-2-M

or, 8+2=6x-x-M+M

or, 10=5x

or, 10÷5=x

therefore, x=2

Again,

MB=6x-2

=6×2-2

Answer:

Common ratio is - 4 / 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sequence = - 2, 4, - 8, 16, - 32, ....

Let the terms be " a ".

Here,

a1 = 2

a2 = 4

a3 = - 8

a4 = 16

a5 = - 32

Let the common ratio be " r ".

r1 = a2 / a1

= 4 / - 2

r1 = - 2

r2 = a3 / a2

= - 8 / 4

r2 = - 2

r3 = a4 / a3

= 16 / - 8

r3 = - 2

r4 = a5 / q4

= - 32 / 16

r4 = - 2

Since, the common ratios are same,

Therefore, r = - 2

- 4 / 2 = - 2

So, - 2 can also be written as - 4 / 2.

Hence,

r = - 4 / 2

Finally,

Common ratio ( r ) = - 4 / 2

Answer:

angle L = 100 degrees

angle M = 110 degrees

angle N = 70 degrees

angle P = 80 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

find value of 'x' then substitute into each of the four angle expressions

to find 'x', add all expressions and set them equal to 360 (there are 360 degrees in any four-sided polygon)

2x + 20 + 3x - 10 + 2x - 10 + 2x = 360

combine 'like' terms to get:

9x = 360

x = 40

angle L = 2(40) + 20 = 100 degrees

angle M = 3(40) - 10 = 110 degrees

angle N = 2(40) - 10 = 70 degrees

angle P = 2(40) = 80 degrees

Check:

100 + 110 + 70 + 80 = 360

48/4 = 12

Hey there!

6(g + 2) / h

= 6(6 + 2) / 4

= 6(8) / 4

= 8(6) / 4

= 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 / 4

= 16 + 16 + 16 / 4

= 32 + 16 / 4

= 48 / 4

= 48 ÷ 4 / 4 ÷ 4

= 12 / 1

= 12 ÷ 1

= 12


Therefore, your answer is: 12

Hi there!

From the given figure;

Radius(r) = 3 inch

Height (h) = 15 inch

Now;

Total surface area (TSA) = 2πr(r+h)

                              TSA = 2*([tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex])*3(3+15)

                               TSA = [tex]\frac{132}{7}[/tex]*18

                               TSA = 339.42in².

Therefore,  the answer is option c (339.29in²).

The correct proof that proves that BE ≅ CF is the proof in option C. (see attachment).

Recall the following:

An isosceles triangles has two sides that are congruent and a base.AAS Congruence Theorem proves that two triangles are congruent if they possess two pairs of congruent sides and a pair of non-included congruent sides.All corresponding parts of two congruent triangles are equal in measure to each other, based on the CPCTC Theorem.

The isosceles triangle ABC given is shown in the image attached below.

To prove that, BE ≅ CF, establish the fact that △ABE ≅ △ACF by the AAS Congruence Theorem.

Since △ABE ≅ △ACF, therefore BE ≅ CF by the CPCTC Theorem.

Thus, the correct proof that proves that BE ≅ CF is the proof in option C. (see attachment).
