The measure if one acute angle in a right triangle is 1 1/4 times the measure of the other acute angle. what is the measure of t

he larger acute angle?

In a right triangle:
α + β = 90°
α = 5/4 β 
------------------
5/4 β + β = 90°
9/4 β = 90°
β = 90° : 9/4 = 90° · 4/9 = 40°
α = 90° - 40° = 50°
Answer:
The measure of the larger acute angle is 50°.

From the top of a 150-ft lighthouse, the angle of depression to a ship in the ocean is 22°. How far is the ship from the base of
zepelin [54]

Answer:

the ship is at a distance of 60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to think of the problem as a right triangle, since

we have 2 legs and 1 hypotenuse, we know the measure of the leg that gives us the height and the angle that that leg touches

the leg we want to calculate is the opposite of the angle we have, since it does not touch

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

a: adjacent

o: opposite

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

is the tangent

tan α = o/a

tan 22 = o/150

tan 22 * 150 = o

60.6ft = o

round to the nearest foot

60ft

the ship is at a distance of 60 feet

Nami is adding a mosaic pattern to the top of a small round table.the distance around the edge of the table top is 4.7 feet .wha
Alchen [17]

Given, Nami is adding a mosaic pattern to the top of a small round table.

Given, the distance around the edge of the table top is 4.7 ft.

That means the circumference given is 4.7 ft.

We know that the formula to find circumference is C = 2\pi r

Where, C = circumference, r = radius.

Here to get the area first we will find the radius of it. So we will substitute the value of circumference in the formula. We will get,

4.7 = 2\pi r

To get r, we will move 2\pi to the left side by dividing it to both sides. We will get,

\frac{4.7}{(2\pi) } = \frac{(2\pi r )}{(2\pi) }

\frac{4.7}{(2\pi) } = r

0.748 = r ( Approximately taken upto three decimal place)

So we have got the radius here. Radius is 0.748 ft. We will have to find the area now. We know that the formula to find the area is,

A = \pi r^2, where A = area, r = radius.

By substituting the value of r we will get,

A = \pi (0.748)^2

A = 1.76 (Approximately taken upto two decimal place)

So the area Nami needed = 1.76 square ft.

We have got the required answer here.

A dumpster in the shape of a rectangular prism has a volume of 240 cubic feet. The length of the dumpster is 4 feet less than tw
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

240 = w (2w − 4) (w − 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism is width times length times height.

V = wlh

Given:

V = 240

l = 2w − 4

h = w − 1

Substituting:

240 = w (2w − 4) (w − 1)
