Answer:
34.5 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want to find the area of the shaded region. (The actual question is not visible here.)
The area of the triangle (including the rectangle) is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2bh
The figure shows the base of the triangle is 11 m, and the height is 1+5+3 = 9 m. So, the triangle area is ...
A = (1/2)(11 m)(9 m) = 49.5 m^2
The rectangle area is the product of its length and width:
A = LW
The figure shows the rectangle is 5 m high and 3 m wide, so its area is ...
A = (5 m)(3 m) = 15 m^2
The shaded area is the difference between the triangle area and the rectangle area:
shaded area = 49.5 m^2 - 15 m^2 = 34.5 m^2
The shaded region has an area of 34.5 square meters.
I always found it easiest to draw out the picture
800000+4,000+80+2 you don’t need the zeros
You have to build the triangles.
They are such that:
h is the common height
x is the horizontal distance from the plane to one stone
Beta is the angle between x and the hypotenuse
Then in this triangle: tan(beta) = h / x ......(1)
1 - x is the horizontal distance from the plane to the other stone
alfa is the angle between 1 - x and h
Then, in this triangle: tan (alfa) = h / [1 -x ] ...... (2)
from (1) , x = h / tan(beta)
Substitute this value in (2)
tan(alfa) = h / { [ 1 - h / tan(beta)] } =>
{ [ 1 - h / tan(beta) ] } tan(alfa) = h
[tan(beta) - h] tan(alfa) = h*tan(beta)
tan(beta)tan(alfa) - htan(alfa) = htan(beta)
h [tan(alfa) + tan(beta) ] = tan(beta) tan (alfa)
h = tan(beta)*tan(alfa) / (t an(alfa) + tan(beta) )
