The angle of elevation of the top of a cliff from the point Q on the ground is 30°. On moving a distance of 20
m towards the foot of the cliff the angle of elevation increases to xº. If the height of the cliff is 17.3 m, then
find xo

Answers

Answer 1

On moving a distance of 20m towards the foot of the cliff the angle of

elevation increases to 60° .

The situation forms 2 right angle triangle.

The height of the cliff is the opposite side of the 2 triangles formed.

Using trigonometric ratio, the bigger triangle  can be represented as

follows:

tan 30 = opposite / adjacent

Let the distance from point Q to the foot of the cliff be d.

Therefore,

tan 30° = 17.3 / d

d = 17.3 / tan 30

d = 17.3 / 0.57735026919

d = 29.9644789709

d ≈ 30 m

Let's find the new angle when he moves 20 m towards the foot of the cliff.

The smaller triangle formed is used to find the new angle.

Therefore,

The new distance  from the foot of the cliff (adjacent side) = 30 - 20  = 10 m

tan x° = 17.3 / 10

tan x° = 1.73

x = tan ⁻¹ 1.73

x = 59.9705982385

x  ≈ 60°

What is the area of a rectangle?

The area occupied by a rectangle within its boundary is called the area of the rectangle. The formula to find the area of a rectangle is Area = Length × Breadth.

The area of rectangular shape TV is 1,200 square inches.

The TV is 50".

Now, L²+W²=50² ----------(I)

L×W=1200 ----------(II)

L²+W²=2500

⇒ L²=2500-W²

⇒ L=√(2500-W²)

Substitute L=1200/W in L=√(2500-W²), we get

1200/W=√(2500-W²)

Squaring on both the sides we get

1440000/W² =2500-W²

⇒ 1440000=2500W²-[tex]W^4[/tex]

⇒ [tex]W^4[/tex]-2500W²+1440000=0

⇒ (W²)²-2500W²+1440000=0

⇒ (W²)²-900W²-1600W²+1440000=0

⇒ W²(W²-900)-1600(W²-1600)=0

⇒ (W²-1600)(W²-900)=0

⇒ W²-1600=0 and W²-900=0

⇒ W²=1600 and W²=900

⇒ W=±40 and W=±30

So, W=40, -40, 30, -30

Length =1200/W =40 or 30

Therefore, the length of the TV is 40 inches and width is 30 inches.

$1689 invested for 4 years at 3% compounded annually ?

Answers

The amount gotten after $1689 invested for 4 years at 3% compounded annually is $1901

The amount of money gained after an investment is compounded is given by:

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

Where P is principal, A is the final amount, r is the rate, n is the number of times compounded per period and t is the time

Given that P = $1689, t = 4, r = 3% = 0.03, n = 1, hence:

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}\\\\A=1689(1+\frac{0.03}{1} )^{4*1}\\\\A=\$1901[/tex]

Find AC. FIND X USING THE PICTURE. BELOW. WILL MARK BRANLIEST FOR FIRST ONE TO ANSWER

Answers

Answer:

AC ≈ 50.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan29° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BC}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{28}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )

x × tan29° = 28 ( divide both sides by tan29° )

x = [tex]\frac{28}{tan29}[/tex] ≈ 50.5 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:

50.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle, focus on angle A.  The side marked 28 is the opposite side, and the side marked  x  is the adjacent side.  The trigonometric ratio that uses those two side is the tangent ratio.

tangent = (opposite) / (adjacent)

[tex]\tan{29^\circ}=\frac{28}{x}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by  x.

[tex]x\cdot \tan{29^\circ}=28[/tex]

Divide by tan 29 degrees.

[tex]x=\frac{28}{\tan{29^\circ}}[/tex]

Use a calculator (in degree mode!) to approximate  x.

Hello, can anyone help with this question?

Answer:

  C.  x-intercepts (1, 0) and (3, 0); y-intercept -3; vertex (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given y = -x² +4x -3.

For quadratic y = ax² +bx +c,  the sum of the x-intercepts is -b/a, and their product is c/a. Here, that means the sum of the x-intercepts must be -4/(-1) = 4. That eliminates choice A.

The y-intercept is the constant (c), so is -3. That eliminates choice D.

The x-coordinate of the vertex is -b/(2a), which is half the sum of the x-intercepts. Here, that is 4/2 = 2. That eliminates choice B.

The only remaining answer choice is the correct one: choice C.
