Answer:

$WS=8\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are also equal

In this problem

$\frac{TU}{TR}=\frac{UW}{RS}=\frac{TW}{TS}$

we have

$TU=3\ units, RS=15\ units, TW=4\ units,TR=9\ units$

Find the value of TS

$\frac{TU}{TR}=\frac{TW}{TS}$

substitute

$\frac{3}{9}=\frac{4}{TS}$

$TS=36/3=12\ units$

$WS=TS-TW$

$WS=12-4=8\ units$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

. A 25-ft ladder is leaning against a wall. If we push the ladder toward the wall at a rate of 1 ft/sec, and the bottom of the l

Vlada [557]

Answer:

0.75 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a 25-ft ladder is leaning against a wall. We can see from the attachment that ladder forms a right triangle with respect to wall and ground.

So we can set a Pythagoras theorem as:

$x^2+y^2=25^2$

$x^2+y^2=625$

Now, we need to find the derivative of above equation with respect to time.

$2x\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}+2y\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}=0$

Since the adder is moving toward the wall at a rate of 1 ft/sec for 5 sec, so x after 5 seconds would be: $20-1(5)=20-5=15$

Let us solve for y using Pythagoras theorem.

$y^2+15^2=25^2$

$y^2+225=625$

$y^2=625-225$

$y^2=400$

Take positive square root:

$\sqrt{y^2}=\sqrt{400}$

$y=20$

Upon substituting our given values in derivative equation, we will get:

$2x\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}+2y\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}=0$

$2(15)\cdot(-1)+2(20)\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}=0$

$-30+40\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}=0$

$40\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}=30$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{30}{40}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=0.75$

Therefore, the ladder is moving up at a rate of 0.75 feet per second.

In circle S,diameter PN is drawn .If measurement arc MN=110 degrees and PS=10 then find the length of MN to the nearest tenth.Sh

Goryan [66]

Answer:

$MN=16.4\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find PN

we know that

PN is a diameter

PS is a radius

$PS=10\ units$

so

$PN=2*PS=2*10=20\ units$

step 2

Find the measure of arc MP

$arc\ MN+arc\ MP=180\°$

$arc\ MN=110\°$

$arc\ MP=180\°-110\°=70\°$

step 3

Find the measure of angle MNP

we know that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

substitute the value

step 4

Find the measure of angle MPN

we know that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

substitute the value

step 5

Find the measure of angle NMP

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

therefore

The triangle MNP is a right triangle

step 6

Find the length MN

In the right triangle MNP

$sin($

substitute the values

$sin(55\°)=\frac{MN}{20}$

$MN=(20)sin(55\°)=16.4\ units$
