A boy borrowed his boat 531 feet out into the ocean. When he looked back he saw the house on a cliff above the beach where he set out. He estimated the angle of elevation was 26 degrees. Estimate to the nearest foot. the height of the house above the water

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

259 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are isosceles. scalene, equilateral, acute, obtuse and right angled triangle.

A right angled triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees. Trigonometric ratios show the relationship between the angles of a right angle triangle and its sides.

Let h represent the height of the house above water, hence using trigonometric ratios:

tan(26) = h / 531

h = 531 * tan(26)

h = 259 ft.

Answers

Answer:

A.]A chord of a circle of diameter 40 cm subtends an angle of 70° at the centre of the circle.

Solution given;

diameter [d]=40cm

centre angle [C]=70°

(a) Find the perpendicular distance be tween the chord and the centre of the circle.

Answer:

we have

the perpendicular distance be tween the chord and the centre of the circle=[P]let

we have

P=d Sin (C/2)

=40*sin (70/2)

=22.9cm

the perpendicular distance be tween the chord and the centre of the circle is 22.9cm.

(b) Using = 3.142, find the length of the minor arc.

Solution given;

minor arc=[tex]\frac{70}{360}*πd=\frac{7}{36}*3.142*40[/tex]

=24.44cm

the length of the minor arc. is 24.44cm.

B.]In the diagram, XZ is a diameter of the cir cle XYZW, with centre O and radius 15/2 cm.

If XY = 12 cm, find the area of triangle XYZ.

Solution given:

XY=12cm

XO=15/2cm

XZ=2*15/2=15cm

Now

In right angled triangle XOY [inscribed angle on a diameter is 90°]

By using Pythagoras law

h²=p²+b²

XZ²=XY²+YZ²

15²=12²+YZ²

YZ²=15²-12²

YZ=[tex]\sqrt{81}=9cm[/tex]

:.

base=9cm

perpendicular=12cm

Now

Area of triangle XYZ=½*perpendicular*base

=½*12*9=54cm²

the area of triangle XYZ is 54cm².

Answer:

Question 1

a)

d = 40 cm ⇒ r = 20 cm

Let the perpendicular distance is x.

Connecting the center with  the chord we obtain a right triangle with hypotenuse of r and leg x with adjacent angle of 70/2 = 35°.

From the given we get:

x/20 = cos 35°x = 20 cos 35°x = 16.383 cm (rounded)

b)

The minor arc is 70° and r = 20

The length of the arc is:

s = 2πr*70/360° = 2*3.142*20*7/36 = 24.437 cm (rounded)Question 2

Since XZ is diameter, the opposite angle is the right angle, so the triangle XYZ is a right triangle.

r = 15/2 cm ⇒ XZ = d = 2r = 2*15/2 = 15 cm

Find the missing side, using Pythagorean:

[tex]YZ = \sqrt{XZ^2 - XY^2} = \sqrt{15^2-12^2} = \sqrt{81} = 9[/tex]

The area of the triangle:

A = 1/2*XY*YZ = 1/2*12*9 = 54 cm²

Solve the system of equations using substitution.
y = x + 6
y = –2x – 3

Answers

Answer:

x = -3

y= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y =  x + 6 -----------------------(I)

y = -2x - 3 ---------------------(II)

Substitute y =x +6 in equation (II)

x + 6  = -2x - 3

Add 2x to both sides

x + 2x +6 = -3

Combine like terms

3x + 6 = - 3

Subtract 6 from both sides

3x = - 3 - 6

3x = -9

Divide both sides by 3

x = -9/3

x = -3

Plug in s = -3 in equation (I)

y = -3 + 6

y = 3

Answers

Answer:

75°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to know that the interior angle sum of a triangle is always 180°.

Now, to find the missing angle aside from x, we need to complete the sum 180-155=25, seeing 155° lies on a straight line. Remembering the interior angle sum of a triangle is always 180°, it is thus clear that 25+80+x=180. If we complete this equation, x=75.

Make six prime numbers using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 once each.


~can you plz explain?!

Answers

Answer:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is a number that you don't get a whole number when divided by 2 but you do get a whole number when divided by prime numbers such as 3,5,7,11... Basically a number with two factors, it can only be divided by 1 or themselves. for example:

9/2 = 4.5 (this is not a whole number so it might be a prime.

9/3 = 3 (it works when divided by a prime number.

another:

8/2 = 4 (it gives a whole number when divided by 2 therefor, it can't be a prime number.

Answering:

There are 6 prime numbers at the top^^^^.

One possible answer is  2, 3, 5, 41, 67, 89

Another possible answer is  2, 3, 5, 47, 61, 89

Other answers may be possible.

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

Explanation:

This is a trial and error type of problem. Though with practice it's not as blind of randomly guessing.

We have 9 values here. If we paired them up, then we can form at most 4 pairs (since 9/2 = 4.5 rounds down to 4). That means we won't be able to form six two-digit primes. Some of the primes must be single digits.

We can have 3 single digit primes and 3 two-digit primes since 3+2*3 = 9.

The single digit primes are: 2, 3, 5, 7

Let's say 2 and 5 are definitely locked down to be the single digit group. I'm doing this since we can't have 2 or 5 as the units digit. If the units digit is 2, then 2 is a factor and it's not prime. Similarly, if 5 is the units digit, then 5 is a factor and that two digit value is not prime.

For good measure, we'll throw 3 in there as well and see what happens.

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

The digits we have left are: 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9

The number 14 isn't prime, but 41 is prime

67 is prime so that's another two values off the list

lastly, 89 is prime so that works as well.

So one possible sequence is 2, 3, 5, 41, 67, 89

Notice how we can swap the 1 and 7 to go from 41,67 to 47,61; this gets us two other primes. So another possible answer is 2, 3, 5, 47, 61, 89

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

Side note: having the list of primes on a reference sheet is a handy recommendation. You only need to go up as high as 97 which is the largest two digit prime.

7. If the supplement of an angle is 69, then find its complement.​

Answers

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180

Let x be the supplement

x+69 = 180

x = 180-69

x =111

The complement of an angle means they add to 90

111+y = 90

y = 90-111

y =-21

But an angle cannot be negative so there is no solution

Answer:

21 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the complementary angle you have to subtract the given angle from 90.

so,

90 - 69 = 21.

Extra info: if you need to find the supplementary angle you need to subtract the given angle from 180.

Grant is a member of a book club. He pays a $10 yearly membership fee and can purchase books through the club for $2.75 each. His total annual cost is a function of the number of books that he purchases in a year. Let b represent the number of books he purchases in a year. Which function, C(b), represents his yearly cost

Answers

C(b) = 2.75b + 10

This is based of the f(x) = mx + b formula, where m is the slope, x is the variable (or input) and b is the y intercept. In this circumstance the slope is 2.75, so we change m for 2.75. The variable is the amount of books so we change it for b (like it says in the word problem), and and 10 is the starting cost, so it’s the y intercept, so we change b for 10.

If a 750 ml bottle of juice costs £1.90 and a 1 litre bottle of the same juice costs £2.50 then the 750 ml bottle is better value.

Answers

Answer:

The 1 liter bottle is better value

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 750 ml = £1.90

Cost of 1 liter = £2.50

1000 ml = 1 liter

Cost per 250 ml

750 ml / 3 = £1.90 / 3

250 ml = £0.6333333333333

Approximately,

£ 0.633

Cost per 250 ml

1 liter / 4 = £2.50 / 4

250 ml = £0.625

The 750 ml bottle is not a better value

The 1 liter bottle is better value
