The error in the distance if the uppermost portion of a 3. 0m long stadia rod is inclined 14 cm toward the observer and the rod intercept is 1. 75m on a horizontal sight is 8.167cm.
<h3>What is Tangent (Tanθ)?</h3>
The tangent or tanθ in a right angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its base. it is given as,
Tan(θ) = Perpendicular/Base
where,
θ is the angle,
Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,
The base is the adjacent smaller side of the angle θ.
Given the uppermost portion of a that is 3.0m long stadia rod is inclined 14 cm toward the observer, therefore, the angle of inclination, θ can be written as
tan(θ)=0.14/3
θ = 2.672°
Also, the rod intercept is 1.75m, therefore, t the error in distance in the distance is,
tanθ=x/1.75
x = 1.75 tan(θ)
x = 1.75 × tan(2.672°)
x = 0.08167 m = 8.167 cm
Hence, the error in the distance if the uppermost portion of a 3. 0m long stadia rod is inclined 14 cm toward the observer and the rod intercept is 1. 75m on a horizontal sight is 8.167cm.
To solve this, it is easiest to set up a proportion, letting x represent the number that we don't know.
2/10 = x/5
Now, we can use cross products to simplify this proportion. Cross products sets the products of the numerator and denominator of separate fractions equal to one another. It results in the equation:
(5)(2) = (10)(x)
Let's multiply out these numbers to further simplify the equation.
10 = 10x
Finally, we have to divide both sides by 10, to get our variable x alone
The figure is broken into different shapes so you find the area of each shape shown and add them up!
Step one: find the area of the triangle. 1/2*base*height* The base is 3 and the height is 4. it will be 6. This applies to the second triangle on the bottom as well. The total of both triangle is 12.
Step two: find the area of the rectangle.base*height. All you have to do is 10*3 which is 30.
Step three: now add up all the areas you got. 30+12. which is 42.
A function is a relation for which each value from the set the first components of the ordered pairs is associated with exactly one value from the set of second components of the ordered pair.
