Answer:
Correct option is D. No, since the ratios of the corresponding sides are not proportional.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer to the attached figure
Let height of coach represents by AB = 6 feet
And shadow of coach represents by BC = 4 feet
Let height of goal post represents by DE = x feet
And Shadow of goal post represents by EF = 12 feet.
Since measurement of shadows are at same time. therefore ratio of height of coach and height of goal post must be same as ratio of shadow of coach and shadow of goal post.
⇒ 6/x = 4/12
⇒x = 72/4 = 18 feet
So goal post is not at regular height , since expected height is 20 feet while actual height is 18 feet . And if we consider value of x as 20 feet instead of 18 feet , ratio of corresponding sides will not match.
Hence correct answer is D. No, since the ratios of the corresponding sides are not proportional.
Answer:
<u>x = 60°</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The rest of the question is the attached figure.
And it is required to find the angle x.
As shown, a rhombus inside a regular hexagon.
The regular hexagon have 6 congruent angles, and the sum of the interior angles is 720°
So, the measure of one angle of the regular hexagon = 720/6 = 120°
The rhombus have 2 obtuse angles and 2 acute angles.
one of the obtuse angles of the rhombus is the same angle of the regular hexagon.
So, the measure of each acute angle of the rhombus = 180 - 120 = 60°
So, the measure of each acute angle of the rhombus + the measure of angle x = the measure of one angle of the regular hexagon.
So,
60 + x = 120
x = 120 - 60 = 60°
<u>So, the measure of the angle x = 60°</u>
I'd say that, if the angles S and U are equal, as the SV and UV segments move towards each other, they meet at vertex V, the angles they make, angle SVT and UVT, have to be equal, because the side TV is shared by both, and has the same direction.
now, side TV is on both triangles, and is shared by both, so is the same length, so TV on one triangle is equal to TV on the other
check the picture below
so, you have one Angle, another Angle, and then a Side
