Find the distance from point B to point C.

1 answer:

6 0

Using relations in a right triangle, it is found that the distance from point B to point C is of 3.75 miles.

<h3>What is the missing information?</h3>

The right triangle is missing, which shows that:

The side adjacent to the angle of 58º is of 6 mi.

The side opposite to the angle of 58º is of BC.

Hence, we can apply the relations in the right triangle given to find the length of side BC, which is the distance from point B to point C.

<h3>What are the relations in a right triangle?</h3>

The relations in a right triangle are given as follows:

The sine of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

The tangent of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side to the angle.

Hence:

tan(58º) = 6/BC

BC = 6/tan(58º)

BC = 3.75 miles.

The distance from point B to point C is of 3.75 miles.

Answer:

1. Their ages are:

Steve's age = 18

Anne's age = 8

2. Their ages are:

Max's age = 17

Bert's age = 11

3. Their ages are:

Sury's age = 19

Billy's age = 9

4. Their ages are:

The man's age = 30

His son's age = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We make the assumption that:

S = Steve's age

A = Anne's age

In four years, we are going to have:

S + 4 = (A + 4)2 - 2 = 2A + 8 - 2

S + 4 = 2A + 6 .................. (1)

Three years ago, we had:

S - 3 = (A - 3)3

S - 3 = 3A - 9

S = 3A - 9 + 3

S = 3A – 6 …………. (2)

Substitute S from (2) into (1) and solve for A, we have:

3A – 6 + 4 = 2A + 6

3A – 2A = 6 + 6 – 4

A = 8

Substitute A = 8 into (3), we have:

S = (3 * 8) – 6 = 24 – 6

S = 18

Therefore, we have:

Steve's age = 18

Anne's age = 8.

2. We make the assumption that:

M = Max's age

B = Bert's age

Five years ago, we had:

M - 5 = (B - 5)2

M - 5 = 2B - 10 .......................... (3)

A year from now, it will be:

(M + 1) + (B + 1) = 30

M + 1 + B + 1 = 30

M + B + 2 = 30

M = 30 – 2 – B

M = 28 – B …………………… (4)

Substitute M from (4) into (3) and solve for B, we have:

28 – B – 5 = 2B – 10

28 – 5 + 10 = 2B + B

33 = 3B

B = 33 / 3

B = 11

If we substitute B = 11 into equation (4), we will have:

M = 28 – 11

M = 17

Therefore, their ages are:

Max's age = 17

Bert's age = 11.

3. We make the assumption that:

S = Sury's age

B = Billy's age

Now, we have:

S = B + 10 ................................ (5)

Next year, it will be:

S + 1 = (B + 1)2

S + 1 = 2B + 2 .......................... (6)

Substituting S from equation (5) into equation (6) and solve for B, we will have:

B + 10 + 1 = 2B + 2

10 + 1 – 2 = 2B – B

B = 9

Substituting B = 9 into equation (5), we have:

S = 9 + 10

S = 19

Therefore, their ages are:

Sury's age = 19

Billy's age = 9.

4. We make the assumption that:

M = The man's age

S = His son's age

Therefore, now, we have:

M = 3S ................................... (7)

Five years ago, we had:

M - 5 = (S - 5)5

M - 5 = 5S - 25 ................ (8)

Substituting M = 3S from (7) into (8) and solve for S, we have:

3S - 5 = 5S – 25

3S – 5S = - 25 + 5

-2S = - 20

S = -20 / -2

S = 10

Substituting S = 10 into equation (7), we have:

M = 3 * 10 = 30

Therefore, their ages are:

The man's age = 30

His son's age = 10

I need help with my math homework. The questions is: Find all solutions of the equation in the interval [0,2π).

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

$\frac{7\pi}{24}$ and $\frac{31\pi}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{3} \tan(x-\frac{\pi}{8})-1=0$

Let's first isolate the trig function.

Add 1 one on both sides:

$\sqrt{3} \tan(x-\frac{\pi}{8})=1$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{3}$ :

$\tan(x-\frac{\pi}{8})=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Now recall $\tan(u)=\frac{\sin(u)}{\cos(u)}$ .

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$

The first ratio I have can be found using $\frac{\pi}{6}$ in the first rotation of the unit circle.

The second ratio I have can be found using $\frac{7\pi}{6}$ you can see this is on the same line as the $\frac{\pi}{6}$ so you could write $\frac{7\pi}{6}$ as $\frac{\pi}{6}+\pi$ .

So this means the following:

$\tan(x-\frac{\pi}{8})=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

is true when $x-\frac{\pi}{8}=\frac{\pi}{6}+n \pi$

where $n$ is integer.

Integers are the set containing {..,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...}.

So now we have a linear equation to solve:

$x-\frac{\pi}{8}=\frac{\pi}{6}+n \pi$

Add $\frac{\pi}{8}$ on both sides:

$x=\frac{\pi}{6}+\frac{\pi}{8}+n \pi$

Find common denominator between the first two terms on the right.

That is 24.

$x=\frac{4\pi}{24}+\frac{3\pi}{24}+n \pi$

$x=\frac{7\pi}{24}+n \pi$ (So this is for all the solutions.)

Now I just notice that it said find all the solutions in the interval $[0,2\pi)$ .

So if $\sqrt{3} \tan(x-\frac{\pi}{8})-1=0$ and we let $u=x-\frac{\pi}{8}$ , then solving for $x$ gives us:

$u+\frac{\pi}{8}=x$ ( I just added $\frac{\pi}{8}$ on both sides.)

So recall $0\le x$ .

Then $0 \le u+\frac{\pi}{8}$ .

Subtract $\frac{\pi}{8}$ on both sides:

$-\frac{\pi}{8}\le u$

Simplify:

$-\frac{\pi}{8}\le u$

So we want to find solutions to:

$\tan(u)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ with the condition:

$-\frac{\pi}{8}\le u$

That's just at $\frac{\pi}{6}$ and $\frac{7\pi}{6}$

So now adding $\frac{\pi}{8}$ to both gives us the solutions to:

$\tan(x-\frac{\pi}{8})=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ in the interval:

$0\le x$ .

The solutions we are looking for are:

$\frac{\pi}{6}+\frac{\pi}{8}$ and $\frac{7\pi}{6}+\frac{\pi}{8}$

Let's simplifying:

$(\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{8})\pi$ and $(\frac{7}{6}+\frac{1}{8})\pi$

$\frac{7}{24}\pi$ and $\frac{31}{24}\pi$

$\frac{7\pi}{24}$ and $\frac{31\pi}{24}$

My brain stopped. I need help

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

x = 99°

y = 91°

Step-by-step explanation:

For Cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the opposite angles = 180°

Let's find x :-

x + 81° = 180°

x = 180 - 81

x = 99°

Let's find y :-

y + 89° = 180°

y = 180 - 89

y = 91°

Hope this helps you !
