The figure below shows a trapezoid, ABCD, having side AB parallel to side DC. The diagonals AC and BD intersect at point O.If the length of AO is three times the length of CO, the length of BO is

one-third the length of AC

one-third the length of AB

three times the length of DO

three times the length of DC

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Length of BO is three times the length of DO.

Step-by-step explanation:

In trapezoid ABCD, $CD\ ||\ AB$

In ΔCDO and ΔABO,

$m\angle CDO=m\angle ABO$ (Alternate interior angles)
$m\angle DCO=m\angle BAO$ (Alternate interior angles)

So, $\Delta CDO\sim \Delta ABO$ according to Angle-Angle similarity.

Therefore, the ratio of corresponding sides will be same.

$\Rightarrow (OD)/(OB)=(OC)/(OA)$

$\Rightarrow (OD)/(OB)=(OC)/(3\cdot OC)$

$\Rightarrow (OD)/(OB)=(1)/(3)$

$\Rightarrow OB=3\cdot OD$

Answer 2

Answer: BO is the same length as AO, and DO is the same length as CO. therefore BO is three times the length of DO.

A rotating light on top of a lighthouse sends outrays of light in opposite directions. As the beacon rotates, the ray at an angle 8 makes a spot of light that moves along the shore. The lighthouse is located 500 m from the shoreline and makes one complete rotation every 2 min. Determine the equation that expresses the distance, d, in metres, as a function of time, t, in minutes.

Answers

we don't need to know the trampoline diameter, it's a trick

the legnth of the metal fram is the circumference
C=pid
d=14
c=14pi
pi=3.14
c=14*3.14
c=43.96
