In a triangle ABC, AB = 7, AC = 8, BC = 3, what is cos(A)?

1 answer:

6 0

Use the cosine rule.
c=AB=7
b=AC=8
a=BC=3
a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc(cos(A))
=>
cos(A)=(b^2+c^2-a^2)/(2bc)
=(7^2+8^2-3^2)/(2*7*8)
=13/14
=0.9286

Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A billboard is 27 feet high and casts a 36-foot shadow at noon.

Height of billboard = 27 feet

Height of shadow of billboard = 36 feet

$\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{27}{36}\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{3}{4}=0.75$

A fir tree next to the billboard casts a 48-foot shadow.

Height of shadow of fir tree = 48 foot

$\texttt{Height of shadow of fir tree, H = }\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}\times 48$

Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75
