To prove Galileo's statement that "for elevations which exceed or fall short of 45 degrees by equal amounts, the ranges are equal," we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Range Formula The range \( R \) of a projectile launched at an angle \( \theta \) with an initial velocity \( V \) is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{V^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ...

Which of the following statements are true (T) and which are false (F): Side opposite to equal angles of a triangle may be unequal. Angle opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal. The measure of each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60^0 If the altitude from one vertex of a triangle bisects the opposite side, then the triangle may be isosceles. The bisectors of two equal angles of a triangle are equal. If the bisector of the vertical angle of a triangle bisects the base, then the triangle may be isosceles. The two altitudes corresponding to two equal sides of a triangle need not be equal. If any two sides of a right triangle are respectively equal to two sides of other right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Two right triangles are congruent if hypotenuse and a side of one triangle are respectively equal to the hypotenuse and a side of the other triangle.
