lamppost cast an 18ft shadow. How tall is the lampost?
17.5 feet
16.5 feet
1.83 fee
15,5 feet

In triangle FGH, angle G is 30 degrees and angle H is 100 degrees. What is the measure of angle F? * 1 point 50 degrees 70 degrees 130 degrees 30 degrees

Answers

Mark brainlist please!

Answer is 50 degrees

Since,

measure of angle F + measure of angle G + measure of angle H = 180

30 + 100 + measure of angle F = 180

Measure of angle F = 180 - 130

Measure of angle F = 50 degrees

5.Stephanie and Ryan go together to a local video store. Stephanie rents two movies and three
games for a total cost of $24.30. Ryan rents three movies and one game for a total cost of
$18.25. How much does it cost to rent one movie? How much does it cost to rent one game? Show your work

Answers

Movies: $4.35. Games: $5.20

Assume movies are all $x and games are all $y to rent
2x + 3y = 24.3
3x + 1y = 18.25

Multiply second equation by 3
9x + 3y = 54.75

Subtract first equation from third equation
7x = 30.45
x = 4.35 So a movie costs $4.35 to rent

Substitute for x in equation 2
3 x 4.35 + y = 18.25
13.05 + y = 18.25
y = 18.25 - 13.05 = 5.20 so games cost $5.20 to rent

Escribe el nombre de algún tipo de ángulo que se forma "Entre Dos rectas Paralelas y una Secante"

Answers

Answer:

We see that opposite angles are two angles between two secant lines (“secant lines” simply means two lines that cross each other) that share a vertex (that is why they are called “vertical” angles). We see also that they are not adjacent (which means next to each other) but opposite each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vemos que los ángulos opuestos son dos ángulos entre dos líneas secantes (“líneas secantes” simplemente significa dos líneas que se cruzan) que comparten un vértice (por eso se llaman ángulos “verticales”). También vemos que no son adyacentes (lo que significa uno al lado del otro) sino uno frente al otro.

the area of this parallelogram is 504 square centimeters.

y = ___ cm

Answers

Answer:

28cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a parallelogram equals the base length, which is y cm, multiplied by the height, which is 18cm.

So

Area= 504cm

y cm (base) x 18 cm (height) = 504cm^2 (area)

y cm = 504cm^2 / 18cm

y cm = 28cm

Answer:

28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Just use some good ol' algebra:

18y = 504

y = 28 cm

A parallelogram is basically a wonky rectangle, so it uses the same formula for area.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

São todas planas.

Line A has a slope of 3/2 and passes through the point (3, 3). Line B has a slope of – 1/3 and passes through the point (-4, -2). At what point does line A intersect line B? Line Aintersects line B at the point ( , ).​

Answers

Answer:

The lines meet at (-1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Line A :

[tex](x_1, y_1) = (3, 3) \ ; \ slope, \ m_A = \frac{3}{2}\\\\Equation \ of \ line \ A : (y - 3) = \frac{3}{2}(x - 3)[/tex]

                             [tex]2(y - 3) = 3(x-3)\\2y - 6 = 3x - 9\\2y = 3x - 9 + 6\\2y = 3x -3[/tex]

Line B :

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (-4, -2) \ ; \ slope , m_B = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\Equation \ of\ line \ B: (y -(-2)) = -\frac{1}{3}(x -(-4))[/tex]

                             [tex]3(y + 2) = -1(x+4)\\3y + 6 = -x -4\\3y = -x - 4 - 6 \\3y = -x - 10[/tex]

Solve for x and y from the linear equation to find where line A and line B meets :

2y = 3x - 3 => 3x - 2y = 3 ------- (1)

3y = -x - 10 => -x = 3y + 10

                => x = - 3y - 10 --------(2)

Substitute (2) in (1) : => 3(- 3y - 10) - 2y = 3

                                   -9y - 30 -2y = 3

                                       -11y = 3 + 30

                                         -11y = 33

                                            y = -3

Substitute y in (2) : => x = -3 (-3) - 10 = 9 - 10 = -1

Your adjacent is 3, your opposite is 4, and you have a 90 degree angle. Find the value of cos V rounded to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

0.6 or [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem ([tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]) we get that the hypotenuse is 5.

so the cos V is adjacent over the hypotenuse. so if adjacent is 3 and hypotenuse is 5, the answer is [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] which equals 0.6 in decimal form.

Copy PQ to the line with an endpoint at R.

This task will be complete when you have

drawn an arc intersecting the line to create

a segment with length PQ.

Answers

Answer: Hello your question lacks some details attached below is the complete question

answer:

Place a compass at point Q , measure arc PQ Draw an arc with the compass that is equal to PQ , Place the compass at point R ,   cut through the line to the left of R with the arc in compass, Assume the new points to be P' and R be Q' ,   where P' Q' will become the new image of PQ with their end point will be R

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps required to draw an arc intersecting the line that will create a segment with length PQ are ;

Place a compass at point Q ,  measure arc PQ

Draw an arc with the compass that is equal to PQ ,  Place the compass at point R ,   cut through the line to the left of R with the arc in compass,

Assume the new points to be P' and R be Q' ,   where P' Q' will become the new image of PQ with their end point will be R

Answer:

Set the compass width to the length PQ by putting one end on P and the other and on Q

Without changing the width, move the compass so one end is on R and the other end is on the line containing R

Draw an arc across the line using R as the center

Mark the point where the arc crosses the line as point S

RS is the copied segment.
