The moon forms a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun during one of its phases, as shown below:

A right angle triangle is shown with the Earth at the right angle. The acute angle between the line joining the Earth and the S

A scientist measures the angle x and the distance y between the Sun and the moon. Using complete sentences, explain how the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Earth and the moon. (10 points)

hey seth! : )

i’m not 100% sure, but i think it’s b

hope this ya : p

miss u!

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true

1/8 is left? add a bit more info plz
