An engineer wants to build a bridge across a gorge as shown in the figure above. To calculate the length the bridge will need to

be, L, she chooses two points directly across the gorge from each other to form one side of a right triangle and then another point that is 20 m apart from one of the first points to make the other side of the right triangle. She calculates the angle opposite the longer side to be 60°.
What is the distance across the gorge, L? Round to the nearest hundredth of a meter.
A.
34.64 m
B.
17.32 m
C.
10 m
D.
40 m

Nour drove from the Dead Sea up to Amman and her altitude was 409 meters below sea level. When she arrived in Amman 2 hours late
kozerog [31]

Answer:

y=  704.5x - 409

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question is : . Complete the equation for the relationship between the altitude and number of hours.

SOLUTION

By plotting altitude on y-axis and time or duration of travel on x-axis of the graph, we will have the the location of Nour at t = 0 will be represented by (0, -409)

when t = 2 hours location points will be  at (2, 1000).

As you know, at a constant rate her altitude is increasing , we will have a linear graph with equation y = mx + b --> eq(1)

Slope of the line is given by:

m= (y-y') / (x-x') => (1000+409)/(2-0)

m= 704.5

y-intercept 'b' is -409

Therefore, the eq(1) will become

(1)=> y=  704.5x - 409

Where, 'y' represents Nour's altitude(in meters) relative to sea level after 'x' hours

PLEASE HELP
Leto [7]

Answer:

DA = 285.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the side AB in the triangle ABC, and we can do this using Pythagoras' theorem:

AB^2 = BC^2 + AC^2

AB^2 = 300^2 + 400^2

AB^2 = 25000

AB = 500 m

We can find the angle ABC with the tangent relation:

tangent(ABC) = 400/300 = 4/3

ABC = 53.13°

From triangle ABC, we have:

ABC + BCA + CAB = 180°

53.13 + 90 + CAB = 180

CAB = 36.87°

From triangle DAC, we have:

DAC + ACD + CDA = 180

36.87 + 45 + CDA = 180

CDA = 98.13°

Now to find the side of DA, we can use law of sines in triangle DAC:

DA/sin(DCA) = AC/sin(CDA)

DA/sin(45) = 400/sin(98.13)

DA = 400 * 0.7071 / 0.9899 = 285.7258 m

Rounding to nearest tenth, we have DA = 285.7 m

The perimeter of a right triangle is 60 feet and the area is 150 square feet. If the lengths of the sides of the triangle are ea
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

B. 600 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Perimeter of a right triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c

The perimeter of a right triangle is 60 feet

If the lengths of the sides of the triangle are each multiplied by 10, what is the perimeter of the new right triangle?

Hence, the perimeter of the new right triangle = 10 × 60ft

= 600ft

Option B is the correct Option.
