X, y and mans shadow length?

x = 9.6 meters

y = 20.98 meters

Shadow length = 11.38 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying tangent rule in right triangle ABD,

tan(21)° =

tan(21) =

x = 25(tan 21)

x = 9.5966

x ≈ 9.60 meters

Similarly, by applying tangent rule in ΔABC,

tan(40)° =

tan(40)° =

tan(40)° =

y = 25(tan 40°)

y = 20.98 meters

Length of the shadow of the man = y - x

                                                        = 20.98 - 9.60

                                                        = 11.38 meters

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down

answer: 4 meters

step-by-step explanation: to you understand 2/3 better you can do 1 divided by 3 = . then multiply that by the 2 which is .66666666666666667 then you would do 6 x .66666666666666667 which is 4.      

hope this .
