Navigation A boat race runs along a triangular course marked by buoys A,B, and C. The race starts with the boats headed west for 3700 meters. The other two sides of the course lie to the north of the first side, and their lengths are 1700 meters and 3000 meters. Draw a diagram that gives a visual representation of the problem. Then find the bearings for the last two legs of the race.
Plans call for triangle BCDto be sheared off a corner of a rectangle as shown in the figure. A decision is made to move one vertex of the triangle 1.5 in. from B to B' and the other vertex from D to D'. How much larger is the area of AB' D' than ABDEF ?
Draw an obtuse triangle and construct the three perpendicular bisectors of its sides. Do the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides appear to meet at a common point?
Laying Phone Cable City A lies on the north bank of a river that is 1 mile wide. You need to run a phone cable from City A to City B, which lies on the opposite bank 5 miles down the river. You will lay L miles of the cable along the north shore of the river, and from the end of that stretch of cable you will lay W miles of cable running under water directly toward City B. See Figure 2.108. Figure 2.108 You will need the following fact about right triangles: A right triangle has two legs, which meet at the right angle, and the hypotenuse, which is the longest side. An ancient and beautiful formula, the Pythagorean theorem, relates the lengths of the three sides: Lengthofhypotenuse=Lengthofoneleg2+Lengthofotherleg2 a. Find an appropriate right triangle that shows that W=1+(5L)2 b. Find a formula for the length of the total phone cable P from City A to City B as a function of L. c. Make a graph of the total phone cable length P as a function of L, and explain what the graph is showing. d. What value of L gives the least length for the total phone cable? Draw a picture showing the least-length total phone cable.
Classify as true or false: a If the midpoints of two sides of a triangle are joined, the triangle formed is similar to the original triangle. b Any two isosceles triangles are similar.
