<h3>The height of lamp post to nearest inch is 110 inches</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

We have to find the height of lamppost

From the figure in question,

Given is a right angled triangle

Where,

base = 40 inches

height = ?

By definition of tan,

$tan\ 70 = \frac{opposite}{base}\\\\tan\ 70 = \frac{height}{40}\\\\height = tan\ 70 \times 40\\\\height = 2.7474 \times 40\\\\height = 109.89 \approx 110$

Thus height of lamp post to nearest inch is 110 inches

During the summer months the water level in Marta's pool decreases by about 1/2 inch each day due to evaporation. Which equation

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Change = -(1/2) * 30 = -15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If the water level decreases by 1/2 inch each day, the change in the water level in one day is -1/2 inch.

So, after t days, the total change in the water level can be calculated as:

Total change = -(1/2) * t inches

So, after 30 summer days, the total change is:

Change = -(1/2) * 30 = -15 inches

So the water level of the pool after 30 summer days has decreased by 15 inches.

Phil has 3 times as many rocks as Peter. Together, they have 48 rocks. How many more rocks does Phil have than Peter?

Ivan

Let x = the number of marbles for Phil
Then 3x = the number of marbles for Peter
Together they have 3x+x=48 or 4x=48 and x=12
So Phil has x = 12 marbles and Peter has 3x, let x = 12, 3(12) = 36 marbles.
Peter has 24 more marbles than Phil.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

option: b is correct.

( b.Yes, because both figures are rectangles and all rectangles are similar )

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the rectangle EFGH is a result of dilation of rectangle ABCD with a center of dilation at the origin.

Also The scale factor of the dilation is greater than one as the image is bigger than the pre-image i.e. there is a stretch.

The scale factor could be calculated by the ratuio of the sides of the image to the pre-image rectangle.

Rectangle ABCD: Its vertices have coordinates A(-3,3), B(3,3), C(3,0) and D(-3,0).

Now consider rectangle EFGH: Its vertices have coordinates E(-4,4), F(4,4), G(4,0) and H(-4,0).

Hence the scale factor is:

$\dfrac{EF}{AB}=\dfrac{EH}{AD}=\dfrac{FG}{BC}=\dfrac{HG}{DC}=\dfrac{4}{3}$

Hence the scale factor is: 4/3.

Also

∠A=∠B=∠C=∠D=∠E=∠F=∠G=∠H=90°

( When a shape is dilated the two shapes are similar.And similar shapes have equal interior angles , corresponding sides are proportional ).

Hence option: b is correct.

( b.Yes, because both figures are rectangles and all rectangles are similar )
