the angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point 42 metres away from it's base on level ground is 26 degrees. find the height of the tower.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

20.485 Meters

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you wanna draw a diagram.  Start with the tower, then on the ground to the left (or right) draw a point.  The point will be labeled as 42 m away from the tower.  Now draw a line from that point to the top of the tower.  This makes your triangle, and that angle you just drew that touches the point is 26 degrees.

Now, since you have a right triangle you can use trig.  You know an angle and a side.  Specifically, relative to the 26 degree angle you know the adjacent angle and want the opposite, which is the tower.  So opposite and adjacent is tangent.  So you set up tan(26) = o/42 where o is the opposite side.  

So solving you get o = 20.485 meters

Answer is 150°. Work is attached

Answer:

Solution given;

<ABD=<BAC+<ACB

Since exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angle

26x+20=19x-15+9x+25

solve like terms

26x+20=28x+10

subtracting both by 10

26x+20-10=28x+10-10

Subtracting both side by 26x

10=28x-26x

2x=10

dividing both side by 2

2x/2=10/2

x=5

Now

<ABD=26*5+20=l50°

If a window is to be 6 feet wide, how high should it be, to the nearest tenth of a foot, to be a golden rectangle

Answers

Answer:

3.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A golden rectangle is a rectangle in which the length and the width are in the ratio 1 : 1.618

If the width of the rectangle is 6, the length = 6 / 1.618 = 3.708 ft

= 3.7 (to the nearest tenth)

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero

b) Colin plays cricket again on Sunday. He gets 16 runs.
What is his new mean score?
Give your answers as decimals.

Answers

Answers:

a) Mean = 20.4b) New mean = 20

==================================================

Explanation:

To get the mean, we add up the scores and divide by 10 (because there are 10 scores at first)

28+13+4+12+32+22+13+22+26+32 = 204

204/10 = 20.4

The mean is 20.4

------------

For part b), we redo those steps shown above, but tack 16 onto the list. So we'll add up all the values (including that 16 at the end) and divide by 11 this time.

28+13+4+12+32+22+13+22+26+32+16 = 220

220/11 = 20

The new mean is 20.

The new mean is slightly smaller than the old mean. Notice how 16 is smaller than 20.4, so this new score pulls down the mean just a little bit.

Answer:

180 = 5 × 3² × 2²

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with 180, the prime factors are in bold

180 = 90 × 2

      = 45 × 2 × 2

      = 15 × 3 × 2 × 2

      = 5 × 3 × 3 × 2 × 2

Then

180 = 5 × 3 × 3 × 2 × 2 = 5 × 3² × 2²

Jing jing works in a store and she spends some of her time organizing the stationary section. If there are nine different items on the rack, how many ways can she organize the rack so that the two most expensive items are not together?

Answers

Answer:

282240 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

number of items = 9 different items

Ranking based on worth

determine number of ways to arrange the 9 items such that the 2 most expensive are apart

first step: consider the 2expensive items as 1

∴ number of permutation = [ ( 9 - 2 ) + 1 ]!  * 2!

                                          = [ 8 ] ! * 2!  = 80640

Total number of permutation/arrangement = 9! = 362880

hence to arrange the 9 items without having the two most expensive items together

= 362,880 - 80640

= 282240 ways
