Answer: About 72 feet
The more accurate value is roughly 71.7260397 feet (however, this value isn't fully exact either).
======================================================
Explanation:
Check out the diagram below. It's effectively the same diagram your teacher provided, but I've added points M and N. I've left out any unnecessary lines.
- M = center of the circle
- N = location where the cable is anchored to the ground
We're told that "(the length of cable from) E to the ground is 35 feet", so this is the red portion of cable that I've marked this as NE = 35, ie segment NE is 35 feet long. We're also told that NF = 40 feet, which is also shown in red.
The blue portions are chords of the circle. We're given one chord as LE = 80 ft, while the other chord JF is what we want to find out.
-----------------
What we need to find is the radius of this circle. Right away, it's not clear what the radius is; however, we can use the chord LE = 80 to help find it.
It turns out that the chord length c is connected to the radius r and central angle theta like so:
c = 2*r*sin(0.5*theta)
where theta must be in radian mode. The central angle subtends the arc that forms the chord in question.
If we started at point L, and counted the number of spaces to get to E while going clockwise, then we can see that there are 5 spaces
Those five spaces could be written as
- The jump from L to A
- The jump from A to B
- The jump from B to C
- The jump from C to D
- The jump from D to E
Or you could mark it as such on the diagram for a visual reference. Overall, the circle has been cut into 12 equal slices. So going from L to E, going clockwise, will have us take up 5/12 of the full circle.
There are 2pi radians in a full circle, meaning the central angle LME is (5/12)*2pi = 5pi/6 radians.
-----------------
Plug theta = 5pi/6 and c = 80 into the formula mentioned. Isolate the radius.
c = 2*r*sin(0.5*theta)
80 = 2*r*sin(0.5*5pi/6)
80 = 2*r*sin(5pi/12)
80 = 2*r*0.9659258
80 = 2*0.9659258*r
80 = 1.9318516r
1.9318516r = 80
r = 80/1.931 8516
r = 41.4110483
The radius is approximate. The radius is in feet. Make sure your calculator is in radian mode.
-----------------
Now that we know the radius, we can determine how long chord JF is.
The central angle for chord JF is angle JMF
If we start at J and go to F, along the shorter path, then we've gone 4 spaces. This is 4/12 = 1/3 of the full circle. So the radian measure of angle JMF is (1/3)*2pi = 2pi/3 radians.
So,
c = 2*r*sin(0.5*theta)
c = 2*41.4110483*sin(0.5*2pi/3)
c = 71.7260397
Chord JF is roughly 71.7260397 feet long.
When rounding to the nearest foot, that's about 72 feet.
Hello again! So we will be using the pythagorean theorem (
) to solve for the bottom leg of the triangles. After we do that, we'll subtract the value of the legs from 31, and that'll be x.
Plug in 17 and z (or any variable that isn't x) into the leg variable and 19 into the hypotenuse variable, and from there we can solve.
Solve the exponents to get
Subtract 289 on each side to get
Lastly, square root each side of the equation and your answer should be
(To get more accurate answers, you shouldn't round until the end of the problem)
Nextly, we will need to subtract
from 31. And since there are 2 triangles, you'll need to multiply by 2.
In short, x = 14.0

Answer:
Therefore the two values required are 2.08 and -11.08.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) f(x) = + 10x - 12 is a quadratic equation and a quadratic equation will have two roots whose values when substituted in to the given quadratic equation will give the value.
ii) The question is therefore essentially asking us to find the roots of the given quadratic equation.
This can be done by equating the given quadratic equation to zero and then solving the equation for its roots.
∴ + 10x -12 = 0 ⇒ x = (-10 ±
) ÷ 2
= (-10 ± 12.166)÷2 = 2.08, -11.08
Therefore the two values required are 2.08 and -11.08
