A building 240 feet tall casts a 40 foot long shadow. If a person stands at the end of the shadow and looks up to the top of the building, what is the angle of the person's eyes to the top of the building (to the nearest hundredth of a degree)? (Assume the person's eyes are 4 feet above ground level.)

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  80.38°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The person is standing 40 ft from the building. The point they're looking at is 236 ft above their eyes. So the angle α is found from ...

  tan(α) = 236/40

  α = arctan(236/40) ≈ 80.38°

Answers

The radius is 10, so the diameter is 20. This means the parts of the diameter (the chord through the center P) to the left and right of the vertical chord have lengths 16 and 4, respectively.

Because the horizontal chord is a diameter, the vertical chord is cut in half, so its parts above and below the diameter both have length x.

Now, by the intersecting chord theorem,

16×4 = x × x

or

x ² = 64

so that

x = 8

Given the points A (-3, -1), B (1, 4) C (4, -1) what is the x coordinate of D, if ABCD is a parallelogram?

Answers

Given:

ABCD is a parallelogram, A(-3,-1), B(1,4), C(4,-1).

To find:

The x-coordinate of point D.

Solution:

Let the point D be (x,y).

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. So, third midpoints are same.

Midpoint formula:

[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)[/tex]

In parallelogram ABCD, AC and BD are two diagonals.

Midpoint of AC = Midpoint of BD

[tex]\left(\dfrac{-3+4}{2},\dfrac{-1+(-1)}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{1+x}{2},\dfrac{4+y}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{-2}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{1+x}{2},\dfrac{4+y}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(\dfrac{1}{2},-1\right)=\left(\dfrac{1+x}{2},\dfrac{4+y}{2}\right)[/tex]

On comparing both sides, we get

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1+x}{2}[/tex]

[tex]1=1+x[/tex]

[tex]1-1=x[/tex]

[tex]0=x[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]-1=\dfrac{4+y}{2}[/tex]

[tex]-2=4+y[/tex]

[tex]-2-4=y[/tex]

[tex]-6=y[/tex]

The coordinates of point D are (0,-6).

Therefore, the x-coordinate of point D is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, the triangle has three sides, so let's use hero's formula to find the area.

A = √[p(p - a)(p - b)(p - c)]

Where;

a, b and c are the 3 given sides of the triangle and;

p = (a + b + c)/2

p = (18 + 30 + 24)/2

p = 72/2

p = 36

Thus;

A = √(36(36 - 18)(36 - 30)(36 - 24))

A = √46656

A = 216 Sq.units

Now, we also know from general formula of a triangle that;

A = ½bh

Where;

b is base and h is height

In the given image;

b = 30

h = x

Thus;

½ × 30 × x = 216

Rearranging, we have;

x = 216 × 2/30

x = 14.4

Hi hi!!

So, A is correct because it is the same equation just (3+4) is in the front. D is also correct because it is the same question because when a number is for example like 10(3+4) it mean multiplication and in this case you are multiplying. B and C are incorrect because they do not have a total of 70. The original equation, 10x(3+4) = 10x7 = 70.

Correct answers:

A. (3+4)x10
D. 10(4+3)

y=-16x^2+161x+108
y=−16x
2
+161x+108

Answers

Answer:

5.03secs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height reached by the rocket expressed as;

y = -16x^2 + 161x + 108

The rocket reaches it max height when its velocity is zero

Velocity is expressed as;

V(x) = dy/dx  = 0

dy/dx = -32x + 161

0 = -32x + 161

32x = 161

x = 161/32

x = 5.03

Hence it will take 5.03secs for the rocket to reach its maximum height

The equation has a solution of x = 5.

What is 6 ( 8 + w). Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

Answers

Answer:

42 + 6w

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically,

6(8+w) is 6 x (8+w)

OR 6(8) + 6(w)

Hence 42 + 6w

Using the distributive property you would multiply the number outside of the parentheses by everything inside the parentheses. So 6 x 8 and 6 x w.

6 x 8= 48 6 x w=6w

Final answer: 48 + 6w

A tennis tournament has 342 players. A single match involves 2 players. The winner of a match will play the winner of a match in the next round, whereas losers are eliminated from the tournament. The 2 players who have won all previous rounds play in the final game, and the winner wins the tournament. What is the total number of matches

Answers

Answer:

341 matches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Players = 342[/tex]

[tex]Match = 2\ players[/tex]

Required

Total number of matches.

The total number of matches is calculated by getting the number of matches in each round.

i.e.

[tex]Matches = \frac{Players}{2}[/tex]

So, we have:

Round 1

[tex]Matches = \frac{342}{2} = 171[/tex]

Round 2

[tex]Matches = \frac{171}{2} = 85\ R\ 1[/tex] [R 1 means remainder 1]

Round 3

[tex]Matches = \frac{85 + 1}{2} = \frac{86}{2} = 43[/tex]

[The remainder is added to each round]

Round 4

[tex]Matches = \frac{43}{2} = 21\ R\ 1[/tex]

Round 5

[tex]Matches = \frac{21+1}{2} = \frac{22}{2} = 11[/tex]

Round 6

[tex]Matches = \frac{11}{2} = 5\ R\ 1[/tex]

Round 7

[tex]Matches = \frac{5+1}{2} = \frac{6}{2} =3[/tex]

Round 8

[tex]Matches =\frac{3}{2} = 1 + 1[/tex]

Round 9

[tex]Matches = \frac{1+1}{2} =\frac{2}{2} = 1[/tex]

So, the total is:

[tex]Total = 171 + 85 + 43 +21 + 11 + 5 + 3 + 1+1[/tex]

[tex]Total = 341[/tex]
