Answer:

answer is 52 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

BA = 17, BF = 6, and CG = 9

triangle sides BF and BH are congruent because they are tangent lines along the same curve

BH is equal to 6 since BF is equal to 6

this applies to CG and CF and AG and AH

CG is equal to 9

so CF is equal to 9

now we add 6 + 9 for the measurement of side CB

CB = 15

now we do the same for the other two sides

we already know BA = 17 so we subtract it from BH = 6 to find the measurement of AH

AH is equal to 11 and is tangent across the same curve as AG

AG = 11

now we add AG to CG

11 + 9 = 20

now we know all the side lengths

CB + BA + AC = Perimeter

15 + 17 + 20 = 52

Perimeter of triangle BCA = 52

I don't know why I went through all the trouble if I know no one is going to see this :'(. I just thought the other guy gave the wrong reasons

Aramp is 17 feet long, rises 8 feet above the floor, and covers a horizontal distance of 15 feet, as shown in the figure.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The ratio of Tan B is

$\tan B= \dfrac{AC}{BC}=\dfrac{8}{15}$

$\tan A= \dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{15}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In Right Angle Triangle ABC

angle C = 90°

AB = Ramp = 17 feet

BC =Horizontal distance = 15 feet

AC = Height from floor = 8 feet

To Find:

Ratio of Tan B = ?

Solution:

In Right Angle Triangle ABC By Tangent Identity we have

$\tan B= \dfrac{\textrm{side opposite to angle B}}{\textrm{side adjacent to angle B}}$

Substituting the given values we get

$\tan B= \dfrac{AC}{BC}=\dfrac{8}{15}$

$\tan A= \dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{15}{8}$

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. the astronaut is 6 ft, 6 in. tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is

marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function is

$s(t)=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5$ and if we are looking for the time(s) that the ball is 10 feet above the surface of the moon, we sub in a 10 for s(t) and solve for t:

$10=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5$ and

$0=-2.7t^2+50t-3.5$ and factor that however you are currently factoring quadratics in class to get

t = .07 sec and t = 18.45 sec

There are 2 times that the ball passes 10 feet above the surface of the moon, once going up (.07 sec) and then again coming down (18.45 sec).

For part B, we are looking for the time that the ball lands on the surface of the moon. Set the height equal to 0 because the height of something ON the ground is 0:

$0=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5$ and factor that to get

t = -.129 sec and t = 18.65 sec

Since time can NEVER be negative, we know that it takes 18.65 seconds after launch for the ball to land on the surface of the moon.
