Calculate AD and hence BD.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vilka [71]1 year ago
7 0

Answer:

AD = 15 cm , BD = 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ ABC is similar to Δ ADE ( by the AA postulate )

then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

\frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{DE}{BC} ( substitute values )

\frac{AD}{12} = \frac{10}{8} ( cross- multiply )

8 × AD = 12 × 10 = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

AD = 15 cm

AB + BD = AD , that is

12 + BD = 15 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

BD = 3 cm

A ramp to a building has a height of 4 feet and the angle of elevation is 33 defrees. How long is the ramp?
sladkih [1.3K]
Height=4 ft
angle=33 degrees
My tip first is to draw it out. Draw an acute angle opening up to a building forming a triangle. Inside of the vertex of the acute angle is the degree 33 and the height of the building is 4 ft. So, use trig! Do you have a calculator? Opposite over hypotenuse is Sine. (SOH CAH TOA). (4)/(sin(33)). which equals 7.34 ft as your height! Hope this helped!

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}}

or

\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

-\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}
