Travis spies an owl in a tall tree. He estimates the height of the tree to be 85 feet and the angle of elevation to the bird from where he stands to be 68°. The leaves on the tree make it difficult for Travis to watch the bird, so he takes several steps away from the tree to get a better view. He now estimates his angle of elevation to be 41°.

How many feet did Travis step back to gain a better view of the bird? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the slope concept, it is found that he stepped back 63.44 feet.

What is a slope?

The slope is given by the vertical change divided by the horizontal change.

It's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

Initially, we have that:

The vertical change is of 85 feet.The horizontal change is his distance d.The angle is of 68º.

Hence:

[tex]\tan{68^{\circ}} = \frac{85}{d}[/tex]

[tex]d = \frac{85}{\tan{68^{\circ}}}[/tex]

[tex]d = 34.34[/tex]

When he stepped back, the angle was of 41º, hence:

[tex]\tan{41^{\circ}} = \frac{85}{d}[/tex]

[tex]d = \frac{85}{\tan{41^{\circ}}}[/tex]

[tex]d = 97.78[/tex]

97.78 - 34.34 = 63.44.

Hence he stepped back 63.44 feet.

Answers

Answer:

it would take him to 7 hours drive 504 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

360 miles → 5 hours

1 miles → (5/360) hours

504 miles → [(5/360)*504] hours

504 miles → 7 hours

Answer:

7 hours

Answers

Answer:

  280.2 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the triangle is found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  a² +b² = c²

  13² +b² = 20²

  b² = 20² -13² = 400 -169 = 231

  b = √231 ≈ 15.199 . . . . meters

The area of the figure is 1/4 the area of a circle with radius √231 together with the area of the triangle with base 13 and height √231.

  Triangle Area = 1/2bh

  = 1/2(13)(15.199) ≈ 98.791 . . . . square meters

__

The area of the 1/4 circle is ...

  Sector Area = (1/4)πr² = 1/4π(√231)² = (231π)/4 ≈ 181.427 . . . . square meters

__

The figure area is the sum of the triangle and quarter circle areas:

  figure area = 98.791 m² +181.427 m² ≈ 280.2 m²

Additional comment

If you use 3.14 for π, then the total will be 280.1 m².

Answer:

280.2 sq meters

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the third side of the triangle because it is the height of the triangle and also the radius of the circle. Using Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 + 13^2 = 20^2

x^2 + 169 = 400

x^2 = 400 - 169

x^2 = 231

x = sqroot(231)

x = 15.2

Area of triangle:

A = 1/2 b•h

= 1/2•13•15.2

= 98.8

Area of a circle:

A = pi•r^2

Area of a 1/4 Circle:

A = 1/4•pi•r^2

=1/4(3.14)(15.2)^2

= 181.4

Area of Whole Shape:

98.8 + 181.4

= 280.2 sq meter

On a piece of paper, sketch or use a protractor to construct right triangle ABC with AB=3 in., m∠A=90°, and m∠B=45°.

What statement is true about the triangle?

A. BC=3 in

B. AC=3 in.

C. AC=6 in.

D. BC=6 in

Answers

B. AC = 3 in.

because when there is a right triangle with an angle that equals 45 degrees, all sides, not including the hypotenuse, are automatically congruent. This triangle is like that. So if one side, that is not the hypotenuse, equals 3 then the other aide equals 3.

Answers

Answer:

a = 156°

b = 132°

c = 108°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon equals 360°. The sum of an interior and exterior angle equals 180°. There are two missing exterior angles that you need to find the measure of so we can find the value of x.

First exterior angle is with the 82° interior angle. Subtract from 180 to find the exterior angle.

180 - 82 = 98°

The second exterior angle is with the 134° interior angle. Subtract from 180 to find the exterior angle.

180 - 134 = 46°

Now add all the exterior angles together and set them equal to 360.

x + 2x + 3x +72 + 98 + 46 = 360

6x + 216 = 360

6x + 216 -216 = 360 -216

6x = 144

6x/6 = 144/6

x = 24

No find the exterior angles then subtract each one from 180°.

To find a.

a + x = 180

a + 24 = 180

a + 24 - 24 = 180 - 24

a = 156°

To find b.

b + 2x = 180

b + 2(24) = 180

b + 48 = 180

b + 48 - 48 = 180 - 48

b = 132°

To find c.

c + 3x = 180

c + 3(24) = 180

c + 72 = 180

c + 72 - 72 = 180 -72

c = 108°

The flight from Perth to London is 16 hours and 35 minutes. The time in Perth is 7 hours ahead of London. A flight leaves Perth at 8am on Wednesday. What is the time in London when the flight arrives?​

Answers

Answer:

Flight arrived in london on 5 : 35 pm Wednesday

Step-by-step explanation:

Time = 16 h 35 min

Time difference = 7 h

Flight time  =  8am

So

     According to perth time flight reached in london is

         8 am + 16 h 35 m =  8 am + ( 12 h + 4h + 35 m) =

         8pm + 4h +35 =  12am + 35m   = 12 : 35 am

The time difference is 7 h ,so minus this from  perth time

      12 : 35 am -  7h  =   5 : 35 pm

Hello everyone, I'm just having trouble on two questions for my Calculus work. I need to solve them using trig substitution to eliminate the root. Does anyone know where to start with this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answers

The main idea is to exploit the trigonometric identity,

sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1

2. For an integral containing 16 - 81x², you might substitute x = 4/9 sin(θ) (with differential dx = 4/9 cos(θ) dθ, but without an actual integral to work with this isn't really important). Then

16 - 81x² = 16 - 81 (4/9 sin(θ))²

… = 16 - 81 (16/81 sin²(θ))

… = 16 - 16 sin²(θ)

… = 16 (1 - sin²(θ))

… = 16 cos²(θ)

so that in the root expression, we would end up with

[tex]\left(16 - 81x^2\right)^{7/2} = \left(16\cos^2(\theta)\right)^{7/2} = 2^{14} |\cos(\theta)|^7[/tex]

since [tex](ab)^c=a^cb^c[/tex] for all real a, b, and c; [tex]16^{7/2}=\left(2^4\right)^{7/2}=2^{14}[/tex]; and [tex]\sqrt{x^2}=|x|[/tex] for all real x.

The goal is to replace x with some multiple of sin(θ) that makes the coefficients factor out like they did here, which then lets you reduce 1 - sin²(θ) to cos²(θ).

And don't be discouraged by the absolute values; in the context of a definite integral, there are things that can be done to remove them or otherwise simplify absolute value expressions.

3. Substitute z = 1/√8 sin(θ) (so that dz = 1/√8 cos(θ) dθ). Then

1 - 8z² = 1 - 8 (1/√8 sin(θ))²

… = 1 - 8 (1/8 sin²(θ))

… = 1 - sin²(θ)

… = cos²(θ)

so that

[tex]\left(1-8z^2\right)^{3/2} = \left(\cos^2(\theta)\right)^{3/2} = |\cos(\theta)|^3[/tex]

PLEASE HELP ASAP I WILL GIVE BRAINSLET TO THE CORRECT ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer:

Therefore has one solution.

explanation:

Given equations:

6x + y = -7

-24x -7y = 25

Make y the subject:

6x + y = -7

y = -7 - 6x ..............equation 1

-24x -7y = 25

-7y = 25 + 24x

y = (25 + 24x)/-7 ..........equation 2

Solve them simultaneously:

(25 + 24x)/-7 = -7 - 6x

25 + 24x = -7 (-7 - 6x)

25 + 24x = 49 + 42x

42x - 24x = 25- 42

18x = -24

x = [tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Then y is:

y = -7 - 6x

y = -7 - 6( [tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex])

y = 1

Has one separate value of x and y: (  [tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex] , 1 ); so it has one solution.
