A landscape company has submitted a bid for constructing a large right triangular flower bed that has sides of 8 feet, 7 feet and 12 feet. Should you consider this a reliable bid? Explain your answer.
Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle WXZ. m%26lt;C = 65ยบ . What is the m%26lt;Z? Explain your reasoning.
A ladder leans against a building so that the top of the ladder touches the wall 7 feet from the ground. The foot of the ladder is about 3.5 feet away from the wall. About how long is the ladder? Round your answer to the nearest integer value if necessary. Show all of your work.
On a sunny day, a flag pole casts a 24-ft shadow. At the same time a 6-ft man, casts a 9-ft shadow. How tall is the flagpole? Show your work.
Confusing math QUESTIONS?
1. Do not consider this a reliable bid because a triangle with sides 7, 8 %26amp; 12 feet does not make a right triangle.
2. The measure of angle Z is the same as the measure of angle C, 65 degrees.
3. length of ladder = sqrt(7^2 + 3.5^2) = sqrt(61.25) = 7.8 = 8ft
4. x/24 = 6/9 ------%26gt; x = 6*24/9 = 16 feet
