Answer:

32√5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the right triangles PQA and PQB as well as the given right triangle QAB.

cot(PAQ) = 2/5 = QA/PQ

cot(PBQ) = 3/5 = QB/PQ

cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (2/5) / (3/5) = 2/3

cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (QA/PQ) / (QB/PQ) = QA / QB

QA / QB = 2/3

QA = (2/3) QB

QB = (3/2) QA

By the Pythagorean Theorem we have:

(QA)² + 32² = (QB)²

(QA)² + 32² = (3/2 QA)²

(QA)² + 1024 = (9/4) (QA)²

(5/4) (QA)² = 1024

(QA)² = (4/5)1024 = 4096/5

QA = 64/√5

Solve for PQ.

cot(PAQ) = QA/PQ

PQ = QA / cot(PAQ)

PQ = (64/√5) / (2/5) = 32√5

The height of the tower is 32√5.

Two cylinders are similar. The surface area of one is 49 cm ^ 2 , and the surface area of the other is 121 cm ^ 2 . Find the sca
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

7 : 17.29

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given:

Two similar cylinders:

Surface area of Cylinder A = 49cm²

Surface area of Cylinder B = 121cm²

==>Required:

Scale factor between both cylinders

==>Solution:

We can easily get the scale factor between both by taking the following steps:

=>Set up a ratio of their surface area:

Smaller cone surface area : larger cone surface area

49:121

= 49/121

=>Simplify the ratio gotten:

Dividing the denominator and the numerator by 7, would give us,

7/17.29

= 7:17.29

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x+y=2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x=2-y

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{2-y}{2}\dots(1)

And

\\ \sf\longmapsto x+1=y+2

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=y+2-1

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=y+1

  • Put the value

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{2-y}{2}=y+1

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2-y=2(y+1)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2-y=2y+2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2-2=2y+y

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3y=0

\\ \sf\longmapsto y=\dfrac{0}{3}

\\ \sf\longmapsto y=\infty

  • Put in eq(1)

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{2-y}{2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{2-\infty}{2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{2}{2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=1
