The angle the pole makes with the tent is 39.7°.

<h3>What is an angle?</h3>
  • An angle is a figure in Euclidean geometry created by two rays, called the sides of the angle, that share a common termination, called the vertex of the angle.
  • Angles formed by two rays are located in the plane containing the rays.

Trigonometric ratio: the trigonometric ratio is used to demonstrate the relationship between the sides and angles of a right-angled triangle.

Let θ represent the angle the pole makes with the tent.

Using trigonometric ratios:

  • cos(θ) = 20/26
  • θ = 39.7°

Therefore, the angle the pole makes with the tent is 39.7°.

What is the rate of change of y with respect to x for this function?<br> HELP FOR BRAINLYEST
Pepsi [2]
First let's assume that the table contains points on a straight line.  Then all we have to do is to determine the slope of that line.

Suppose we go from (0,3) to (7,-28.5).
                                           -28.5-3        -31.5
Then the slope, m, is m = ------------- = ---------- = - 9/2, or - 4.5.
                                              7-0              7

Let's check this result!

Suppose that y = mx + b governs the relationship between x and y.


Then y = -4.5x + b

suppose we find b by substituting the coordinates from the point (0,3):

3 = -4.5(0) + b

Then b = 3, and y = -4.5x + 3.  Does the point (-2,12) satisfy this equation?

Does 12 = -4.5(-2) + 3?  Does 12 = 9 + 3?  YES.

So y = -4.5x + 3 is the equation from which these points came, and the rate of change of y with respect to x is the slope m = -4.5, or m = -9/2.

The angles and lengths of each of the given triangles are;

5) m∠B = 57.52°

6) B = 70.81°

7) AB = 55.43 Km

8) AC = 39.06 ft

<h3>How to use cosine rule?</h3>

The cosine rule is expressed as;

c = √[a² + b² - 2ab(cos C)]

5) Using cosine rule;

BC = √[21² + 13² - 2(21*13)(cos 91)]

BC = 24.89

Using sine rule, we can find angle B as;

21/sin m∠B = 24.89/sin 91

sin m∠B = (21 * sin 91)/24.89

sin m∠B = 0.8436

m∠B = sin⁻¹0.8436

m∠B = 57.52°

6) Using cosine rule;

14² = 11² + 13² - 2(11*13)(cos B)]

196 = 121 + 169 - 286(cos B)

cos B = (121 + 169 - 196)/286

cos B = 0.3287

B = cos⁻¹0.3287

B = 70.81°

7) Using cosine rule;

AB = √[24² + 36² - 2(24*36)(cos 134)]

AB = 55.43 Km

8) Using cosine rule;

AC = √[21² + 26² - 2(21*26)(cos 112)]

AC = 39.06 ft
