Answer:
x = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate x by adding 2x to both sides, obtaining: 5 - 2x + 2x = 2x. Then 5 = 2x, and dividing both sides by 2 results in x = 5/2.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
tan Θ + tan 2Θ + √3 tan Θ tan 2Θ = √3
tan Θ + tan 2Θ = √3 - √3 tan Θ tan 2Θ
tan Θ + tan 2Θ = √3 ( 1 - tan Θ tan 2Θ)
(tan Θ + tan 2Θ) / (1 - tanΘ tan 2Θ) = √3
tan(Θ + 2Θ) = √3
tan 3Θ = tan (
) we know tan Θ = tan α; Θ = nΠ + α, n belongs to z
3Θ = nΠ + Π/3
Θ = nπ/3 + Π/9 for all n in Z
Let, the height of the building be x ft.
Given the building casts 35ft shadow.
The height of the flagpole given which is 22ft and casts a shadow of 10ft.
Now to find the height of the building we have to equate the ratio of height and shadow of the building and the flagpole.
So we can write,
x/35 = 22/10
To find x, we have to get rid of 35 from the left side and have to move it to right side. As 35 is divided there, we will multiply 35 to both sides.
(x/35)× 35 = (22/10)×35
x = (22×35)/10
x = 770/10
x = 77
So, the height of the building is 77 ft which is the required answer here.
Answer:
2 (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
∠BAC = ∠NAC - ∠NAB = 144 - 68 = 76⁰
AB = 370 m
AC = 510 m
To find BC we can use cosine law.
a² = b² + c² -2bc*cos A
|BC|² = |AC|²+|AB|² - 2|AC|*|AB|*cos(∠BAC)
|BC|² = 510²+370² - 2*510*370*cos(∠76⁰) =
|BC| ≈ 553 m
2)
To find ∠ACB, we are going to use law of sine.
sin(∠BAC)/|BC| = sin(∠ACB)/|AB|
sin(76⁰)/553 m = sin(∠ACB)/370 m
sin(∠ACB)=(370*sin(76⁰))/553 =0.6492
∠ACB = 40.48⁰≈ 40⁰
3)
∠BAC = 76⁰
∠ACB = 40⁰
∠CBA = 180-(76+40) = 64⁰
Bearing C from B =360⁰- 64⁰-(180-68) = 184⁰
4)
Shortest distance from A to BC is height (h) from A to BC.
We know that area of the triangle
A= (1/2)|AB|*|AC|* sin(∠BAC) =(1/2)*370*510*sin(76⁰).
Also, area the same triangle
A= (1/2)|BC|*h = (1/2)*553*h.
So, we can write
(1/2)*370*510*sin(76⁰) =(1/2)*553*h
370*510*sin(76⁰) =553*h
h= 370*510*sin(76⁰) / 553= 331 m
h=331 m
