A pendulum is 22.9 inches long and the bob at the end of the pendulum travels 10.5 inches. Find the degree measure of the angle through which the pendulum swings.

step-by-step explanation:

the areas of two similar triangles are 18 cm2 and 8 cm2. one of the sides of the first triangle is 4.5 cm. what is the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle?

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
