Calculate the height of a tree whose shadow is 20m shorter when the angle of elevation of the sun is 60° than when it's 30°.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  17.3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If t is the height of the tree, then the length of the shadow is ...

  shadow length = t/tan(α)

where α is the angle of elevation. The difference in shadow lengths is ...

  20 m = t/tan(30°) -t/tan(60°) = t(√3 -1/√3)

  t = (20 m)/(2/√3) = 10√3 m ≈ 17.3 m

The tree is about 17.3 meters high.

What is Triangle?

A triangle in geometry is a polygon with three sides and three angles. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

If XYZ is a triangle, it is represented as ΔXYZ

Here, it is given that BD is the perpendicular bisector of AC.

Then by the definition of perpendicular bisector, B is the midpoint of AC.

Consider ΔABD and  ΔCBD

ΔABD and  ΔCBD are right triangles with  ∡ABD =  ∡CBD = 90°.

So,  ∡ABD ≅  ∡CBD   (∵ all right angles are congruent)

Now, by the reflexive property of congruence, every side or angles are congruent to itself.

So BD ≅ BD

Since B is the midpoint of AC, AB = BC.

Hence AB ≅ BC

By SAS theorem, if two sides and an angle of a triangle are congruent to two sides and angles of another triangle, then both triangles are congruent.

Hence ΔABD ≅ ΔCBD

So, Angle A is congruent to angle C.

Hence ∡A ≅ ∡C if BD is perpendicular bisector of AC.

2. The perimeter of a rectangle is 56m. The length is two less than four times the width. Find the length.

Answers

Answer:

Length=22 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter=56 cm

let width=x

According to given condition:

length=4x-2 ...........(A)

Perimeter=2(length+width)

Substitute the values in above formula:

56cm=2(4x-2+x)

56cm=2(5x-2)

56cm=10x-4

(56+4)=10x

60 cm=10x

x=60cm/10

x=6cm

For the value of length :

Substitute the value of x in equation (A):

Length=4x-2

Length=4(6)-2 cm

Length=24-2 cm

Length=22 cm

Answers

Answer:

[tex]-16 = \frac{m}{5} - 18\\2 = \frac{m}{5}\\10 = m\\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation [tex]-16 = \frac{m}{5} - 18[/tex] isolate [tex]m[/tex]

 1.  The first is sum both sides by 18

   [tex]-16 + 18= \frac{m}{5} - 18 + 18\\2 = \frac{m}{5}[/tex]

 2. The second is multiply both sides by [tex]5[/tex]

   [tex]5 \cdot 2 =5 \cdot \frac{m}{5}\\10 = m[/tex]

Passes through (2, 3) at a gradient of 2

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing gradient of 2 means slope of 2

if line passes through (2,3) and has a slope of 2, we can use the slope intercept equation

slope-intercept (y=mx+b)

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (which we are trying to find)

so far, we have a point and a slope so we can fill in x,y, and m

(3) = (2)(2) + b

3 = 4 + b

3-4 = 4-4 + b (to undo addition, you use subtraction so I minus 4 from each side)

-1 = b

we found b so we just take the (2,3) out of the equation substitute the x,y back into the equation

y = 2x - 1

1st___
2nd___
3rd___

Answers

Answer:

1st =  13

2nd = 21

3rd = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be

f

The second of three numbers is 8 more than the first,

f + 8

third number is 3 less than 3 times the first.

3f - 3

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

the third number is 15 more than the second,

3f - 3 = (f + 8) + 15

3f - 3 = f + 23

Subtract f from both sides

2f - 3 = 23

add 3 to both sides

2f = 26

Divide both sides by 2

f = 13

f + 8 = 13 + 8 = 21

3f - 3 = 3(13) - 3 = 36

hi! I need help ! Triangles geometry angles table.

Answers

Answer:  

145°

Step-by-step explanation:  

[Finding the non-label angled in the triangle] 180° - 75° = 105°

 

Finding 3: (x = angle 3)  

[Sum of a triangle's angles] 105° + 40° + x (angle 3) = 180  

[combine like terms] 145° + x = 180°  

[subtracting 145 from both sides] 35° = x  

   () We can test that this is correct by adding 40 and 35 together, to get angle 1 as it is an exterior angle

Finding 4: (x = angle 4)  

180 - 35 = 145°

We have x+5y=3 => x= 3-5y
So 3y+2=4x
<=>3y+2=4(3-5y)
<=>3y+2=12-20y
<=>3y+20y=12-2
<=>23y=10
<=>y=10/23 => x=3-5(10/23)=19/23

Ok done. Thank to me :>

Answer:

19/23, 50/23

Step-by-step explanation:

We can take the first equation and isolate the x:

x + 5y = 3 ⇒ -5y ⇒

x = 3 - 5y.

Then we can substitute the x in the first equation by this:

3y + 2 = 4(3-5y) ⇒

3y + 2 = 12 - 20y ⇒ +20y

23y + 2 = 12 ⇒ -2

23y = 10 ⇒ ÷23

y = [tex]\frac{10}{23}[/tex]

Then we can add the value of y into the equation equaling x we made:

x = 3 - 5([tex]\frac{10}{23}[/tex]) ⇒

x = 3 - [tex]\frac{50}{23}[/tex] ⇒

x = [tex]\frac{19}{23}[/tex]

Hope this helps! :)

Dakota earned $12.50 in interest in Account A and $11.25 in interest in Account B after 15 months.
If the simple interest rate is 4% for Account A and 3% for Account B, which account has the greater
principal? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

You haven't explained the  time for account A - we will assume 12 months or the answer is obvious:

for Acct(A) :   I = 12.5 = A1  * .04           A1 =  $312.50

for Acct(B)     I = 11.25 = A2 * .03 * 5/4 = 300

Note that annual interest in B is .03 or I = .03 + .03 * 1/4 = .0375 for 15 mos.

11.25 = .0375 * A2     A2 = 300

Account A will have the greater principal

(a) 3 - 2/3÷4/3 × 7
(b) [(2/3)/(5/6)]-2/5
(c) {(-3/4) +( 1/2)}/{(2/5)-(5/2)}

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a. (3 - 2/3) ÷ (4/3 x 7)

= [(3 x 3) / (1 x 3) - 2/3] ÷ 28/3

= (9/3 - 2/3) ÷ 28/3

= 7/3 x 3/28

= 21/84

= (21 x 1) / (21 x 4)

= 1/4

b. 2/3 ÷ 5/6 - 2/5

= 2/3 x 6/5 - 2/5

= 12/15 - 2/5

= (3 x 4) / (3 x 5) - 2/5

= 4/5 - 2/5

= 2/5

c. (- 3/4 + 1/2) ÷ (2/5 - 5/2)

= [- 3/4 + (1 x 12) / (2 x 2)] ÷ [(2 x 2) / (5 x 2) - (5 x 5) / (2 x 5)]

= (- 3/4 + 12/4) ÷ (4/10 - 25/10)

= 9/4 ÷ (- 21/10)

= 9/4 x - 10/21

= - 90/84

= (6 x - 15) / (6 x 14)

= - 15/14.

A truck that can carry no more than 7600 lb is being used to transport refrigerators and upright pianos. Each refrigerator weighs 300 lb and each piano weighs 525 lb. Write and graph an inequality to show how many refrigerators and how many pianos the truck could carry. Will 13 refrigerators and 7 pianos overload the​ truck? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

  13 refrigerators and 7 pianos will NOT overload the truck

Step-by-step explanation:

For x refrigerators, their total weight is 300x.

For y pianos, their total weight is 525y.

The total weight of both of these together must not exceed 7600, so the inequality is ...

  300x +525y ≤ 7600

__

The point (x, y) = (13, 7) lies in the solution area. The truck will not be overloaded.

__

Check

  300(13) +525(7) = 7575 . . . this is less than 7600

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of refrigerators by r and that of pianos by p.

Then the total weight in the truck bed is calculated and we determine whether or not this total is less than the truck capacity.

Find the total weight of the load consisting of 13 refrigerators and 7 pianos.   The inequality given above becomes:

w(r, p) = (300 lb)r + (525 lb)p ≤ 7600 lb

w(13, 7) = (300 lb)13 + (525 lb)7 ≤ 7600 lb becomes:

w(13, 7) = 3900 lb + 3675 lb = 7575 lb

Since 7575 lb is just under the truck's capacity (7600 lb), the truck will not be overloaded.
