The blades of a windmill turn on an axis that is 40 feet from the ground. The blades are 15 feet long and complete 3 rotations every minute. Write a sine model, y = asin(bt) + k, for the height (in feet) of the end of one blade as a function of time t (in seconds). Assume the blade is pointing to the right when t = 0 and that the windmill turns counterclockwise at a constant rate. a is the
length of the blade
The vertical shift, k, is the
height of the windmill

Statement reason 1. δabc is similar to δced. given 2. 3. definition of slope 4. slope of slope of definition of slope 5. slope of × slope of multiplying the slopes 6. slope of × slope of substitution property of equality 7. slope of × slope of simplifying the right side the table contains the proof of the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines. what is the reason for statement 2? a. parallel line segments that meet a common perpendicular line are proportional in length. b. the lengths of vertical and horizontal sides in congruent triangles are in a common ratio. c. trigonometric identities determine the lengths of the legs in a right triangle. d. corresponding side lengths in similar triangles are proportional in length.
