8\frac{3}{8}= \frac{67}{8}

2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} = \frac{20}{8}

\frac{67}{8}-  \frac{20}{8} = \frac{47}{8} =5 \frac{7}{8} in

Answer: There is 5\frac{7}{8}\ in. left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of ribbon Ramona had is given by

8\frac{3}{8}=\frac{67}{8}\ in.

Length of ribbon she used for a project is given by

2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\ in.

Number of inches of ribbon left is given by

\frac{67}{8}-\frac{5}{2}\\\\=\frac{67-20}{8}\\\\=\frac{47}{8}\ in\\\\=5\frac{7}{8}\ in.

Hence, there is 5\frac{7}{8}\ in. left.

Answer:

h=50.25\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles </u>

In a right triangle, one of the internal angles is 90°. When this happens, there is always a longer side, called hypotenuse and two shorter sides, called legs. They relate to Pythagoras's theorem. The basic trigonometric relations also stand, including

\displaystyle tan\alpha=\frac{a}{c}

where a is the opposite leg to \alpha and c is its adjacent led .

In our problem, we have a statue being looked by a person in such a way that the top of the statue forms an angle of 8° with the horizontal and the base of the statue forms an angle of 14° down. We also know the distance from the person to the statue is 50 ft. The situation is shown in the image below.

The height of the statue is h=a+b, where

a=50tan8^o

b=50tan14^o

Thus

h=50tan8^o+50tan14^o

h=50(tan8^o+tan14^o)

\boxed{h=50.25\ ft}

in the figure p is the incenter of isosceles rst what type of triangle is rpt? Thank you in advance .
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

\Delta \text{RPT is an isosceles triangle}

Step-by-step explanation:

As in the triangle RST,

RS=ST\ \ \ \Rightarrow m\angle SRT=m\angle STR

Because if in a triangle two angles equal one another, then the sides opposite the equal angles also equal one another.

Incenter is obtained by the Intersection of a triangle's three angle bisectors and it is equidistant from the three sides of the triangle.

So, RP and TP are the angle bisectors of ∠R and ∠T respectively.

\Rightarrow \dfrac{m\angle SRT}{2}=\dfrac{m\angle STR}{2}

\Rightarrow m\angle PRT=m\angle PTR

\Rightarrow PR=PT

\Rightarrow \Delta \text{RPT is an isosceles triangle}
