Max is installing a 12-ft swimming pool slide at a 50° angle of elevation. the bottom of the slide will be 1 foot off the ground and the top of the slide will be fixed to a platform. find the height of the platform. (round to nearest tenth) a) 9.2 ft b) 10.0 ft c) 10.1 ft d) 10.2 ft

D) 10.2 ft

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that

... Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

You want to find the length of the side Opposite the 50° angle, given the Hypotenuse is 12 ft. Then the relation is ...

... sin(50°) = height/(12 ft)

Multiplying by 12 ft gives

... height = (12 ft)·sin(50°) ≈ 9.2 ft

The height of the platform is 1 ft up from this value:

... 9.2 ft + 1 ft = 10.2 ft

circumference divided by 3.141592654 then timesthe radius twice

step-by-step explanation:

circumference divided by 3.141592654 then timesthe radius twice

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
