The Sine or Sinθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its Hypotenuse. The length of the wire is 81.5 meters.

<h3>What is Sine (Sinθ)?</h3>

The Sine or Sinθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its Hypotenuse. it is given as,

Sin(θ) = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

where,

θ is the angle,

Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,

The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle.

The length of the tower is 80 meters, while the angle of elevation is 79°. Therefore, the length of the wire will be the hypotenuse of the triangle. Therefore, the length of the wire is,

Sin(θ) = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

Sin(79°) = 80 meter/Length of the wire

Length of the wire = 81.4973 ≈ 81.5 meters

Hence, the length of the wire is 81.5 meters.

Draw a net for each of the following shapes:

A. You would start off by a rectangle in the middle, then you would place to squares on the bottom and top if the rectangle. After you've done that, you place two rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the original rectangle. Finally you add a rectangle (Same size) to either ends of the secondary rectangles. It should look like this.


B. You would start off with a rectangle in the middle, then you would add 2 equilateral triangles to the top and bottom of the rectangle. After that, you Simply put 2 rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the rectangle. It should look something like this.

C. To make a pyramid, it's actually quite simple. You would start off with a square in the middle, and then place equilateral triangles on ALL sides of the square. It should look something like this.

I don’t understand how to find the dimension,<br> Need help :c
slava [35]

Width = W

Length = 2 times the width plus 3 feet = 2W + 3

Area of triangle A = L * W

A = W (2W + 3)

20 = 2W^2 + 3W

2W^2 + 3W - 20 = 0

(W + 4) (2W - 5) = 0

W + 4 = 0; W = - 4 (width cannot be negative, excluded)

2W - 5 = 0

2W = 5

W = 2.5

L = 2W + 3 = 2(2.5) + 3 = 8

Answer:

Width = 2.5 feet and Length = 8 feet

Hope it helps.
