<h3>What are trigonometric ratios?</h3>

Trigonometric ratios are defined as the ratio of different sides of a right angle triangle with respect to one angle of the right angled triangle.

Length of the wire = Hypotenuse of the triangle =  X

Base of the triangle = Distance from the bottom of the tower to the point where wire is attached on ground = 20 m

Angle b/w Hypotenuse and Base of triangle = 46°

cos(θ) = Base / Hypotenuse

cos(46) = 20 / X

X = 20 / cos(46)

X = 28.79 m

Hence, the length of the wire is 28.79 m.

Solve -no - 80 &lt; 60 for n. Show the work.
o-na [289]
-np - 80 < 60....add 80 to both sides
-np < 80 + 60
-np < 140...divide both sides by p
-n < 140/p ...now multiply by -1 to make n positive, and change inequality sign
n > -140/p

A river is 212 mile long. What is the length of the river on a map, if the scale is 1 inch : 50 miles?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

4.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1 inch / 50 miles = x / 212 miles      Cross multiply

1 inch * 212 miles = 50 miles * x      Divide by 50 miles

1 inch * 212 miles / 50 miles = x

x = 4.24 inches.

How much is 0.24 of an inch?

0.24 * 50 = 12

So 0.24 inches represents 12 miles.
