Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Hypotenuse = sqrt( 20^2 + 15^2)
Hypotenuse = sqrt( 400 + 225)
Hypotenuse = sqrt(625)
Hypotenuse = 25
Answer: 25 inches
Answer:
C. 500 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If we want to make it all equal, we can divide the 2,000 ft by 4 because we have 4 equal descents.
2000 ÷ 4 = 500
He should travel <u>500 feet</u> in each descent.
It appears that the Pythagorean theorem can be applied to this problem
(distance to shadow)² = (height of building)² + (length of shadow)²
(38 m)² = (height of building)² + (28 m)²
660 m² = (height of building)²
Then the height of the building is
height of building = √660 m ≈ 25.7 m
Answer: D all of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Side Opposite to ∠x is called YZ
The side Opposite to ∠y is called XZ (that's the hypotenuse of the triangle)
Side Opposite to ∠Z is XY
