Answer 1

Answer:

DC = 1332.95 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Let the measure of DC = h ft

And measure of side BC = a ft

By applying tangent ratio in ΔBCD,

tan(56°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}[/tex]

             = [tex]\frac{DC}{BC}[/tex]

             = [tex]\frac{h}{a}[/tex]

h = a[tan(56°)] --------(1)

By applying tangent rule in ΔACD,

tan(22°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}[/tex]

tan(22°) = [tex]\frac{DC}{BC+AC}[/tex]

             = [tex]\frac{h}{a+2400}[/tex]

h = (a + 2400)tan(22°) ------- (2)

Equating the values of h from equations (1) and (2),

a[tan(56°)] = (a + 2400)tan(22°)

a[tan(56°) - tan(22°)] = 2400[tan(22°)]

1.0785a = 968.6629

a = 899.085 ft

From equation (1),

h = 899.085[tan(56°)]

h = 1332.948

h ≈  1332.95 ft

PR and os are diameters of circle T. What is the

measure of SR?

50°

* 80°

• 100°

120

Answers

Answer:

100degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram

<PQT =<TRS = 40

Since the triangle STR is isosceles, here,

<TSR =<TRS = 40

Also the sum of angle in a triangle is 189, hence:

Arc SR+<TSR +<TRS = 18₩

ArcSR +40+40=180

ArcSR +80=180

ArcSR = 180-80

ArcSR = 100degrees

Hence the measure of SR is 100degrees

The measure of arc SR is 100°. The correct option is the third option - 100°

Calculating the measure of an Arc

From the question, we are to determine the measure of arc SR.

The measure of arc SR = <STR

Now, we will determine the measure of <STR

In the diagram, T is the center of the circle.

TP and TQ are radii.

Then, we can conclude that ΔPQT is an isosceles triangle.

Recall: Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

∴ <PQT = <TPQ = 40°

Now, consider ΔPQT

<QTP + <TPQ + <PQT = 180° (Sum of angles in a triangle)

<QTP + 40° + 40° = 180°

<QTP + 80° = 180°

<QTP = 180° - 80°

<QTP = 100°

Also, in the diagram, <QTP and <STR are vertically opposite angles

NOTE: Vertically opposite angles are equal

That is, <QTP = <STR

∴ <STR = 100°

Hence, the measure of arc SR is 100°. The correct option is the third option 100°

Mrs. Smith washed 2 5 of her laundry. Her son washed 1 3 of it. Who washed most of the laundry? How much of the laundry still needs to be washed?

Answers

Answer:

a) The person who washed the most of the laundry is Mrs Smith

b) 4/15 of the laundry is left to wash

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Smith washed 2/5 of her laundry. Her son washed 1/3 of it.

a) Who washed most of the laundry?

We convert the fraction of laundry each person washed to decimal

Mrs Smith = 2/5 = 0.4

Her son = 1/3 = 0.333

Therefore, the person who washed the most of the laundry is Mrs Smith

b) How much of the laundry still needs to be washed?

Let us total laundry = 1

=1 - ( 2/5 + 1/3)

Lowest Common Denominator is 15

=1- (3 × 2 + 5 × 1/15)

= 1 - (6 +5/15)

=1 - 11/15

= 4/15

Find the area of the trapezoids

Answers

Answer:

48 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Each square on the grid is 2 units by 2 units.

Bases: AT = 8; RS = 4

Height: 8

area = (b1 + b2)h/2

area = (8 + 4)(8)/2

area = 48 square units

Answer:

The area of trapezoid is 48 sq units.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

➻ Trapezoid is consist of many square shapes. Each grid square equals 2 units. We need to find the area of trapezoid.

➻ To find area we need to find the length if base and height of trapezoid.

Calculate the square grids to find base and height. we get.

Base ; SR = 4 units and TA = 8units

Height = 8 units.

Finding the area of trapezoid.

We know that,

Area of trapezoid = ( Base1 + Base2 ) ×Height / 2

plug the values of both base and a height.

Area of trapezoid = ( 4 + 8 ) × 8 / 2

Add the numbers which are in bracket and multiply by 8.

Area of trapezoid = 12 × 8 / 2 = 96/2

Divide 96 by 2.

Area of trapezoid = 48 sq units.

Hence,

The area of trapezoid is 48 sq units.
