A surveyor wants to know the length of a tunnel built through a mountain. According to his equipment, he is located 120 meters f

rom one entrance of the tunnel, at an angle of 42° to the perpendicular. Also according to his equipment, he is 101 meters from the other entrance of the tunnel, at an angle of 28⁰ to the perpendicular. Based on these measurements, find the length of the entire tunnel. Do not round any intermediate computations. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Note that the figure below is not drawn to scale. 120 meters 42° 28° 101 meters​

The length of the entire tunnel is 127.88 meters by using cosine law or formulae.

Here we can use the formulae of cosine when two sides a and b and angle between then is given we can apply it.

c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} -2ab cos (\alpha )

Let us take surveyor as point A

one end of the tunnel denoted by point B

other end of the tunnel denoted by point C.

The length of AB is 101 meters

length of AC is 120 meters.

Measure of angle at point A = 42° + 28° =70°

Now lets find the length of tunnel

=\sqrt{(120^{2})+(101^{2})-2.(120)(101) cos (70)  }

=\sqrt{14400+10201-24240(0.34)}

=\sqrt{24601-8246}

\sqrt{16355}

=127.88 meters.

Hence the length of the entire tunnel is 127.88 meters.

In a triangle shown, which shows the correct order of the side lengths from smallest to largest.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Not sure if there are options, but the order of side lengths from smallest to largest is <u>j, k, l</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a bad explanation (sorry):

Side length order will be the same order of angle orders. By that, I mean the since angle C has the smallest angle, the side length across from it will also be the smallest. Since angle B is the biggest angle, side L will be the biggest length. This leaves angle A (and side k) in the middle.

Please help with a math problem :/ Please show steps...<br><br> x^2 -13x = -36
Marianna [84]
X^2 -  13 x = -36 
add 36 to both sides

x^2 - 13x +36 = 0
figure out the factor
(x-4)(x-9) = 0
so (x-4) or (x-9) equals 0
so solution is
x-4=0 add 4 to both sides and get x = 4
x-9=0 add 9 to both sides and get x=9
x={ 4, 9}

-5, 20, -80, 320, ... is a geometric sequence a. Find the common ratio, b. Write its recursive rule c. Write its explicit rule.W
mario62 [17]

a.

In order to find the common ratio, we just need to divide a term by the term that comes before it.

So using the terms 20 and -5, we have:

\text{ratio}=\frac{20}{-5}=-4

b.

The recursive rule can be found with the formula:

a_n=a_{n-1}\cdot q

Where an is the nth term and q is the ratio. So we have:

a_n=a_{n-1}\cdot(-4)

c.

The explicit rule can be written as:

a_n=a_1\cdot q^{n-1}

Where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term and q is the ratio. So:

a_n=-5\cdot(-4)^{n-1}
