Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a railroad track rises 30 feet for every 400 feet of track.

Thus, from the figure, we have

AB=30 feet and BC=400 feet

Therefore, using the trigonometry, we have

$\frac{AB}{BC}=tanC$

$\frac{30}{400}=tanC$

$\frac{3}{40}=tanC$

$0.075=tanC$

$C=tan^{-1}(0.075)$

$C=4.3^{\circ}$

Thus, the measure of the angle of elevation of the track is $C=4.3^{\circ}$ .

1. A Babylonian tablet found in 1936 shows that the Babylonians sometimes used a more accurate value of π than 3. They determine

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is given as πr² and its circumference is expressed as 2πr.

If the babylonians determined the area of a circle by taking it as equal to the square of the circle’s circumference then;

Area of circle = (circumference of a circle)²

πr² = (2πr)²

πr² = 4π²r²

Dividing both sides of the equation by πr² we have;

$\frac{\pi r^{2} }{\pi r^{2} } =\frac{4\pi^{2} r^{2} }{\pi r^{2} }\\1 = 4\pi \\\pi =\frac{1}{4}$

The value of π this yields is 1/4

the shape ABCD is a parallelogram.

Required:

is to prove ∡A and ∡B are supplementary

and ∡C and ∡D are supplementary.

so, m∠A + m∠B = 180°

and m∠C + m∠D = 180°

the Statement

1. ABCD is a parallelogram

the reason is..

It is Given!

the Statement

2.m∠A=m∠C and m∠B=m∠D

the reason is..

Definition of parallelogram.

the Statement

3.m∠A+m∠B+m∠C+m∠D=360°

the reason is..

Definition of quadrilateral

the Statement

4. m∠A+m∠B+m∠A+m∠B=360°

the reason is..

By substitution

⇒ 2( m∠A + m∠B ) = 360°

⇒ m∠A + m∠B = 180°

it is also similar m∠C + m∠D = 180°

the Statement

5.∠A and ∠C are supplementary

the reason is..

by the definition of Supplementary ∠ B and ∠D are supplementary

Hope it helps!
