Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Question

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).

To determine

Find the postulate this method is based on and draw a diagram to help.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 16WE

ASA Postulate is used.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

N , on a river bank , wanted to know the width of the stream.A young soldier faced directly across the stream and adjusted the visor of his cap until the tip of the visor was in line with his eye and the opposite bank.Next he did an about-face and noted the spot on the ground now in line with his eye and visor-tip . He paced off the distance to this spot, made his report , and earned a promotion.

Calculation:

Represent the given situation:

One triangle is formed :

The height of N , forms right angle with the ground and another angle is that his eye forms when he looks on the spot on the other side of the river.

The third angle will be formed by joining the two rays .

Second triangle is fromed:

When the soldier adjusts the visor-tip and points it towards the spot.

Both the triangles are congruent by ASA Postulate.

So, the width of the river is equal to the distance that N travels.
