A man is walking down a very long flight of
steps in a stairwell. He begins at 136 feet
above ground level. He walks down with a
steady rate such that he gets closer to the
ground floor at a rate of 2.8 feet per second.
The man is going to exit the stairwell at the
4th floor, which is the height of 42 feet above
ground level. Let t be equal to the number of
seconds it takes for him to get to the 4th floor.
Set up and solve the equation to find the value
of t. Round your answer to the nearest tenth
of a second.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

33.6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

if he begins at 136 feet and wants to go to 42 feet, the distance is 94 feet

d = 94

r = 2.8

d = rt; solving this formula for 't':

t = d/r

t = 94/2.8

t = 33.6 seconds

Keith is looking at a cliff. He determines that the angle of elevation to the top is 70° from where he is at. 70m away from Keith, Alan estimates the angle between the base of the cliff, himself, and Keith to be 29° while Keith estimates the angle between the base of the cliff, himself, and Alan to be 48°. What is the height, h, of the cliff to the nearest tenth of a metre?

Answer:

  4) 95.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle at the cliff base between Alan and Keith is ...

  B = 180° -29° -48° = 103°

The law of sines will tell you the distance KB from Keith to the cliff base is

  KB/sin(A) = KA/sin(B)

  KB = KA×sin(A)/sin(B) = (70 m)sin(29°)/sin(103°) ≈ 34.82935 m

The height of the cliff is found from the tangent relation ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(70°) = height/(34.83 m)

  height = (34.83 m)tan(70°) = 95.693 m

The height of the cliff is about 95.7 m.

_____

Additional comment

These problems can usually be resolved into two 2-D problems. Here, we can work out the distance we need from Keith to the cliff by considering only the ground plan of the site. Then we can work out the height of the cliff only considering the vertical plane containing Keith and the base of the cliff.

What is the perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCD?

Answers

Given:

The figure of a quadrilateral ABCD.

To find:

The perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCD.

Solution:

In an isosceles triangle, the two sides and base angles are congruent.

In triangle ABD,

[tex]\angle DAB\cong \angle ABD[/tex]               [Given]

[tex]\Delta ABD[/tex] is an isosceles triangle      [Base angle property]

[tex]AD=BD[/tex]                   [By definition of isosceles triangles]    

[tex]8=BD[/tex]                   ...(i)

In triangle BCD,

[tex]\angle BCD\cong \angle CDB\cong \angle CBD[/tex]        [Given]

All interior angles of the triangle BCD are congruent, so the triangle BCD is an equilateral triangle and all sides of the triangle area equal.

[tex]BC=CD=BD[/tex]

[tex]BC=CD=8[/tex]      [Using (i)]               ...(ii)

Now, the perimeter of quadrilateral ABCD is:

[tex]Perimeter=AB+BC+CD+AD[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter=11+8+8+8[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter=35[/tex]

Therefore, the perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCD is 35 units.

What is the total distance that two people travel in 2 h if one of them is riding a bike at 20 mi/h and the other is walking at 3 mi/h?

Answers

Answer:

46 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the distance traveled by the person riding at 20 mph.

Multiply 20 by 2:

20(2)

= 40 miles

Find the distance traveled by the person riding at 3 mph.

Multiply 3 by 2:

3(2)

= 6 miles

Add these distances together:

40 + 6

= 46

So, the total distance is 46 miles

Answer:

46 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming both travel at a constant rate of miles per hour.

Time allowed: 2 hours.

Biker: 20 miles/hr, or (20 x 2) miles/ (2 x 1) hrs. = 40 miles/ 2 hours

Walker: 3 miles/hr or (3 x 2) miles/(2 x 1) hrs. = 6 miles/2 hours.

You are finding the total distance traveled together, and so add the two miles together:

40 + 6 = 46

46 miles in 2 hours is your answer.

What number must you add to complete the square? x^2+26x=23

Answers

Answer:

169

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+26x=23

=> to complete the square, the equation should be : x²+26x + (26/2)² = 23 + (26/2)²

<=> x² +26x + 13² = 23 + 13²

<=> x² +26x +169 = 23 + 169

<=> (x+13)² = 192

so, (x+13)² is the square form , and 169 must be added to complete the square

x²+26x=23

For 2ab to complete in (a+b)² formula

2ab=26

a=1

2b=26b=13b²=169

So 169 must be added

Angle of depression = [ ? ]

Answers

Given:

In triangle ABC, [tex]m\angle A=66^\circ, AB=5\text{ mi}[/tex].

To find:

The angle of depression from point A to point C.

Solution:

According to angle sum property, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

In triangle ABC,

[tex]m\angle A+m\angle B+m\angle C=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex]66^\circ+90^\circ+m\angle C=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex]156^\circ+m\angle C=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle C=180^\circ-156^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle C=24^\circ[/tex]

We know that if a transversal line intersect the two parallel lines, then alternate interior angles are equal. So, the angle of depression from point A to point C is equal to the measure of angle C in triangle ABC.

Therefore, the angle of depression is 24 degrees.

Answers

x^2 - 6x = -5

To complete the square we are going to rewrite the equation to a quadratic equation in the form:

ax² + bx + c

To do this we are going to transpose.

x² - 6x = -5
x² - 6x + 5 = 0

Now we are going to rewrite the new equation in the form


a(x + h)² + k

Where a = 1
h = 6x
k = 5


1(x² - 6x) + 5 = 0
1(x² - 6x/2 + 3²) + 5 = 0, to find h, divide it by 2 then square the quotient and add it to the equation.

1(x² - 3x + 9) + 5 - 9 = 0, to find k, subtract the square rooted quotient after multiplying it by a.

1(x - 3)²- 4 = 0

Now we solve.

1(x - 3)² - 4 = 0
1(x - 3)² = 4
±√1(x - 3)² = ±√4
(x - 3) = √4 or (x - 3) = -√4
x = 5 or x = 1
