Refer to the graphic novel frame below. The brochure says that the rope is 500 feet long. Jacob drew a triangle in the sand that is similar to the actual triangle formed by a parasailer and the boat. Use the properties of similar triangles to determine the parasailer's height above

Refer To The Graphic Novel Frame Below. The Brochure Says That The Rope Is 500 Feet Long. Jacob Drew

Answers

Answer 1

   To solve this problem use the property of similar triangles,

 "Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional"

By using this property, height of the parasailer is 160 feet.

From the figure attached,

In ΔPQR, a parasailer is a at point P and a boat is at R.Actual length of the rope PR = 500 ftJacob drew a similar triangle ABC in which parasailer is at A and the boat is at C.

Let the height (PQ) of the parasailer = x ft

Height of the parasailer AB = 25 ft.

And the length of the rope AC = 2.5 ft.

Since, both the triangles ΔABC and ΔPQR are the similar triangles, their corresponding sides will be proportional.

[tex]\frac{AB}{PQ}=\frac{AC}{PR}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{x} =\frac{2.5}{200}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{200\times 2}{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]x=160[/tex] ft

        Therefore, height of the parasailer is 160 feet.

find the measure of the angle that is 12° more than two times its supplement

Answers

Answer:

56 and 124

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two supplementary angle = 180

Let the first angle be x

Second angle = 2x + 12

2x + 12 + x = 180

3x + 12 = 180

3x = 180 - 12

3x = 168

x = 168/3

x = 56

2x + 12

2(56) + 12

112 + 12

Decide if each statement is always, sometimes, or never true.
I said never for the first one I’m new to geometry and I’m a freshman I’m taking notes along the way so whatever information you have for me will help!❤️

Answers

Answer:

(A) Two acute angles add to an obtuse angle

It's sometimes because for example if you take two acute angles

one is 30 and other is 20

they add to 50 and not greater than 90 so it can be sometimes greater but not always

(B) Two adjacent angles make a line

Its also sometimes because a line means it should be 180 degrees so two adjacent angles can out always be equal to 180 that is a line

(C)Two obtuse angles are supplementary

It's Never true because obtuse angles start from 90 so if you take 91 also and other 91 too so if we add them up  that will be 182 not 180

as we know 180 = supplementary angle that's why

A baseball team won 16 games and lost 11. At this rate, how many games will it win in a 162-game schedule?

Answers

Answer:  96

==========================================================

Explanation:

The team won 16 games and lost 11 so far. At this point in the season, they played 16+11 = 27 games total. Their win rate is 16/27.

Set this equal to x/162 which is the win rate for winning x games out of 162 played over the entire season.

Solve for x.

x/162 = 16/27

27x = 162*16 ... cross multiplication

27x = 2592

x = 2592/27

x = 96

The team would win 96 games if it kept the same winning rate going.

Notice that 16/27 = 0.5926 = 59.26% and how 96/162 = 0.5926 = 59.26% as well (both are approximate). This helps confirm we have the correct answer.

-------------------------

Here's another slightly longer way to solve. If you prefer the first method above, then ignore this section.

w = number of games won over the entire 162 game season

162-w = number of games lost over the entire season

w/(162-w) = win to loss ratio

16/11 = win to loss ratio after winning 16 games and losing 11

Setting those last two expressions equal to each other and solving for w gets us...

w/(162-w) = 16/11

11w = 16(162-w)

11w = 2592-16w

11w+16w = 2592

27w = 2592 ... this hopefully looks a bit familiar from before

w = 2592/27

w = 96 games won
