Step-by-step explanation:

so, we have a large triangle made of the 2 cables as legs and the ground distance AB as baseline.

the tower is the height to the baseline of that large triangle.

let's call the top of the tower T.

and remember, the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

we know the angle A = 62°, and angle B = 72°.

assuming that AB is a truly horizontal line that means that the 2 legs (cables) have different lengths, the triangle is not isoceles, and the tower is not in the middle of the baseline.

so, the height (tower) splits the baseline into 2 parts. let's call them p and q.

p + q = 12 m

p = 12 - q

let's simply define that p is the part of the baseline on the A side, and q is the part of the baseline on the B side.

we have now 2 small right-angled triangles the large height (tower) splits the large triangle into.

one has the sides

AT, height (tower), p

angle A = 62°

angle T = 180 - 90 - 62 = 28°

the other has the sides

BT, height (tower), q

angle B = 72°

angle T = 180 - 90 - 72 = 18°

now remember the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with the sides and the associated angles being opposite.

p/sin(28) = height/sin(62)

q/sin(18) = height/sin(72)

we know from above that

p = 12 - q

so,

(12 - q)/sin(28) = height/sin(62)

height = (12 - q)×sin(62)/sin(28)

q/sin(18) = height/sin(72)

height = q×sin(72)/sin(18)

and therefore, as height = height we get

(12 - q)×sin(62)/sin(28) = q×sin(72)/sin(18)

(12 - q)×sin(62)×sin(18) = q×sin(72)×sin(28)

12×sin(62)×sin(18) - q×sin(62)×sin(18) =

= q×sin(72)×sin(28)

12×sin(62)×sin(18) = q×sin(72)×sin(28) + q×sin(62)×sin(18) =

= q×(sin(72)×sin(28) + sin(62)×sin(18))

q = 12×sin(62)×sin(18) / (sin(72)×sin(28) + sin(62)×sin(18))

q = 4.551603755... m

p = 12 - q = 7.448396245... m

height = q×sin(72)/sin(18) = 14.00839594... m ≈ 14 m

the cell tower is about 14 m tall.

find the formula for a rational function that satisfies all of the following. its x-intercept is (-3,0). it has a vertical asymp
Norma-Jean [14]

Let that be

\\ \rm\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{a(f(x))}{g(x)}

Two vertical asymptotes at -1 and 0

\\ \rm\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{a(f(x)}{x(x+1)}

If we simply

\\ \rm\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{a(f(x)}{x^2+1}

  • Denominator has degree 2
  • Numerator should have degree as 2 and coefficient as 3 inorder to get horizontal asymptote y=3 means the quadratic equation should contain 3x²
  • But there should be a x intercept at -3 so one zeros should be -3

Find a equation

  • 3x²+9x

Find zeros

  • 3x²+9x=0
  • 3x(x+3)=0
  • x=0,-3

Horizontal asymptote

  • 3x²/x²
  • 3

So our equation is

\\ \rm\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{3x^2+9x}{x(x+1)}

How is the answer 35? How do I get it?
vlabodo [156]
I think it's -35. The steps to get that number is subtracting the 3 to the right side. Then you have -2 - 3 which equals to -5. Then you still have x/7= -5. Get rid of 7 from the x and do the same thing to the other side but you multiply 7 and -5. Last you your would be x= -35.

The exterior angle of a certain regular polygon is 60°. How many sides does the polygon have?.
givi [52]
<h3>Answer:  6</h3>

Work Shown:

E = exterior angle = 60 degrees

n = number of sides of the regular polygon

n = 360/E

n = 360/60

n = 6

The regular polygon has 6 sides.
