A flagpole sits on the top of a cliff that is 25 m above sea level. If the angle of elevation from a boat on the water to the top of the cliff is 29 degrees and the angle of elevation from the boat to the top of the flagpole is 32 degrees, determine the height of the flagpole (rounded to one decimal place).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance between the cliff and the boat.

Since the cliff is 25 m above sea level and the distance between the boat and the height of the cliff are perpendicular, and the line of sight of the boat to the base of a cliff is 29 , these three form a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse side as the line of sight of the elevation of the boat to the base of the cliff.

So, using trigonometric ratios, tan29° = 25/x

x = 25 m/tan29° = 25 m/0.5543 = 45.1 m

Also, the line of sight of the top of the flagpole, the cliff and the distance between the boat and the cliff form a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse side as the line of sight of the top of the flagpole,

Now, the angle of elevation of the top of the flagpole from the top of the boat is 32°, we now find the angle opposite to x, the distance from the boat to the cliff.  

Since it is a right-angled triangle, thus one angle is 90° and the unknown angle is A.

So, 90° + 32° + A = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

122° + A = 180°

A = 180° - 122°

A = 58°

Let y be the length of the flagpole. In this same triangle, using the sine rule, with x being the side opposite A and 25 + y being the side opposite the 32° angle, where 25 + y = height of cliff + length of flagpole, then

x/sinA = (25 + y)/sin32°

25 + y = xsin32°/sinA

y =  xsin32°/sinA - 25

y = 45.1sin32°/sin58° - 25

y = 45.1 × 0.5299/0.8480 - 25

y = 45.1 × 0.6249 - 25

y =28.183 - 25

y = 3.183

y ≅ 3.2 m to one decimal place

Use the formula d = rt. Find t for r = 46.6 m/h and d = 456.68 m.


A. 9.8 h

B. 0.1 h

C. 410.08 h

D. 21,281 h

Answers

Answer:

A. 9.8 h

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use the formula d = rt. Find t for r = 46.6 m/h and d = 456.68 m. Show your work.

2. Express 0.578 in words

1. d = rt

456.68 = 46.6 times t

divide both sides by 46.6 to get 9.8  

So the time is 9.8

2. 0.578 is five hundred seventy-eight thousandths

Hope this helps

For the first problem all you have to do is plug in r and d in the equation and solve for t.  So here is how we do that:

d=rt

546.68=46.6t

11.73=t

All we did there was divide both sides to isolate t (get t by itself).

For the second one you just need to know the places after the decimal point.  The first spot is the tenths, the second is the hundredths, and the third is the thousands.  So you would read 0.578 as:

Five-hundred and seventy-eight thousandths.

Substituting:

456.68 = 46.6t, so, dividing ach side by 46.6:

t = 456.68/46.6, so

t = 9.8

(Solving for Y variable)

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 21 to each side of the equation
-21+21+3Y=21+12X

Combine like terms: -21+21=0

Step-by-step explanation:

If tan(A + B) = √3 and tan(A - B) = 1/√3; 0° < A + B ≤ 90° ; A > B, find A and B.
Pls answer it correctly..​

Answers

Sol➜

We have, tan(A + B) = √3

⇒ tan(A + B) = tan60°

∴ A + B = 60° -----[i]

Again, tan(A - B) = 1/√3

⇒ tan(A - B) = tan30°

∴ A - B = 30° -----[ii]

Now, Adding [i] and [ii], we get

A + B + A - B = 60° + 30°

2A = 90° ⇒ A = 45°

Putting the value of A in [i], we have

45° + B = 60°

∴ B = 60° - 45° = 15°

Hence, A = 45° and B = 15°.

Answer:

[tex] \displaystyle A = {45}^{ \circ} \\ B = {15}^{ \circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given two equation and condition

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{cases}\tan(A+B)=\sqrt{3} \\ \tan(A - B) = \dfrac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } \end{cases}( {0}^{ \circ} < A+B < {90}^{ \circ} ) \: \text{and} \: A > B[/tex]

let's work with first equation

recall unit circle so A and B should be in Q:I

[tex] \displaystyle \: A+B = \arctan( \sqrt{3} )[/tex]

[tex] \displaystyle \: A+B = {60}^{ \circ} \cdots \: \text{I}[/tex]

let's work with second equation:

[tex] \displaystyle \: \tan(A - B) = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } [/tex]

[tex] \displaystyle \: A - B = \arctan(\frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } )[/tex]

[tex] \displaystyle \: A - B = {30}^{ \circ} \cdots \: \text{II}[/tex]

now let's use elimination method to figure out A and B

to do so combine equation I and II

[tex] \displaystyle \underline{\begin{array}{c c c}A+B = {60}^{ \circ} \\ A - B = {30}^{ \circ} \end{array}} \\ 2A = {90}^{ \circ} [/tex]

divide both sides by 2:

[tex] \displaystyle \: \frac{2 A}{2} = \frac{ {90}^{ \circ} }{2} \\ A = {45}^{ \circ} [/tex]

substitute the value of A to the second equation:

[tex] \displaystyle \: {45}^{ \circ} - B = {30}^{ \circ} [/tex]

cancel 60° from both sides:

[tex] \displaystyle \: - B = { - 15}^{ \circ} [/tex]

divide both sides by -1

[tex] \displaystyle \: B = {15 }^{ \circ} [/tex]

hence,

[tex] \displaystyle \: A = {45}^{ \circ} \\ B = {15}^{ \circ} [/tex]

Determine if each statement is true or false based on the diagram.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1). JL = 36

   Reason : Since, PN is the segment joining midpoints of sides JK and LK,

   Therefore, JL = 2(PN)

   JL = 2(36)

   JL = 72

   False.

2). ML = 36

    Reason: Since, ML = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(JL)[/tex]

    ML = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(72)[/tex]

          = 36

    True.

3). MP = 48.5

    Reason : By the same property, MP = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(LK)[/tex]

    MP = [tex]\frac{97}{2}[/tex]

    MP = 48.5

    True.

4). ∠JLK = 102°

    Reason: Segment joining midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel and measures half of the third side of the triangle.

     Since, PM║LK and JL is a transversal line,

     ∠JMP ≅ ∠JLK [Corresponding angles]

     m∠JLK = 102°

     True.

5). ∠PNK = 102°

    Reason : Since, PN║JL and LK is a transversal line,

    ∠JLK ≅ ∠PNK [Corresponding angles]

    ∠PNK = 102°

     True.

6). MP║PK

    Reason : MP and PK are intersecting each other at P.

    Therefore, they can not be parallel.

     False.
