Answer 1

Using proportions, we have that:

The height of the building is found using a rule of three.The height is of 20 feet.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The scale is of 1 inch = 8 feet. What is the height for 2.5 inches? The rule of three is given by:

1 inch - 8 feet.

2.5 inches - x feet

Applying cross multiplication, the height in feet of the final building is given by:

x = 8 x 2.5 = 20 feet.

Answer 2

The height of the building is calculated by representing 1 inch as 8 feet. The final building has a height of 20 feet.

What is scaling?

Scaling is the increase or decrease in the height of an object by a scale factor k.

Given that the scale used is:

1 inch = 8 feet. Hence:

Since the height of the building is 2.5 in, hence:

Height of the final building = 2.5 in * 8 ft per 1 in = 20 feet

The height of the final building is 20 feet.

What equation results from completing the square and then factoring?

x^2 + 4x = 5

A. (x + 2)^2 = 3

B. (x + 2)^2 = 7

C. (x + 2)^2 = 1

D. (x + 2)^2 = 9

Answers

Answer:

(x+2)^2 = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square we need to add 4 to both sides of the equation,

Why we add 4 to both sides? Because if we add it to one side only, the equation will turn into an inequation

x^2 + 4x + 4 = 5 + 4

x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9 and the factor of the expression is (x+2)*(x+2) = 9

(x+2)^2 = 9

AB is a diameter. 48° B A What is the measure of BC? 180° 84 42° 96°​

Answers

Answer:

84°

Step-by-step explanation:

The central angle of a circle is twice any inscribed angle subtended by the same arc.

because AB is a diameter, we also know that the triangle angle at C is 90° (all the inscribed triangles with their baseline being a diameter are right-angled).

as always, the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°.

so, we know the triangle angle at A is

180 - 90 - 48 = 42°.

this is also the inscribed angle of the arc BC.

the central angle for arc BC (that is what is requested here) is then twice that angle : 2×42 = 84°

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the inner angle of 2 crossing segment lines is half of the sum of the 2 arc angles.

arc angle JH = 34°

The required arc angle JH measures 34 degrees.

What is a chord?

In geometry, a chord is a line segment that connects two points on the circumference of a circle. The two endpoints of the chord lie on the circle, and the chord divides the circle into two segments - the major segment and the minor segment.

Given the problem, we are given that the inner angle measures 55 degrees. Thus, we can set up an equation using the formula and solve for the unknown value.

The equation is given as follows:

55 = (arc angle IG + arc angle JH)/2

We know that the arc angle IG measures 76 degrees, so we can substitute this value into the equation:

55 = (76 + arc angle JH)/2

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 yields:

110 = 76 + arc angle JH

Subtracting 76 from both sides of the equation gives:

arc angle JH = 34°

Therefore, the arc angle JH measures 34 degrees.
