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.

Tallulah's family took a road trip to the Grand Canyon. Tallulah slept for the last 129 miles of the trip. If the total length o
KIM [24]

Answer:

43% of the trip

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Create an Equation

300 miles/100*x percent=129 miles <=== Make an equation so you can find the percent she slept of the trip

2. Solve

300 miles/100*x percent=129 miles

3x=129 <=== 300 divided by 100 is 3 and 3 times x is also 3x

3x/3=129/3 <=== divide by 3 from both sides

x=43

Since x is 43 that means 129 equals 43% which is how much Tallulah slept

of the trip.

3. Check

300 miles/100*43%=129 miles <=== Substitute x with 43%

3x43%=129

129=129 <=== 129 is 129 which means that the answer is correct!

juin [17]

If the width is 12 and the length is 18, the perimeter of the rectangle is 12 + 12 + 18 + 18, or 60. So yes the perimeter can be 60.

If y’all can help with this one it’s imagine 2 i’m trying to figure out
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

I think it would be D. I'm not sure but I think so. I thought C at first but (go to explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

if image 1 is the original, then image 2 would be it reflected over the y axis

C says over the line y=0 which would be a horizontal line. x=0 would be a vertical line aka the y axis. I believe its D.
