Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can create a right triangle out of this information and then use right triangle trig to solve.
We are given the height of the triangle as the height of the tower which is 150m.
We are given the angle of inclination as the degree the tower makes with the ground which is 72.
From the angle of 72 degrees, which is also known as the reference angle, we have the side across from it (the height) and we are looking for the side adjacent to it (how far from the base of the tower the keys will land). Side opposite the reference angle over side adjacent to the reference angle is the tangent ratio:
and, solving for x,
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode to solve this. Divide 150 by the tan(72) and find that
x = 48.7 m
You need to do the ones in the parentheses first
Point 1: (-3, 7)
Point 2: (-17, 3)
To find the slope, we need to use the slope formula which is as follows: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). We will plug in each x and y coordinate from our points above, respectively.
m = (3 - 7) / (-17 - - 3)
m = (-4) / (-14)
m = 2/7
The slope of the line that goes through (-3, 7) and (-17, 3) is 2/7.
Hope this helps!! :)
I don't know the area of a parallelogram off the top of my head but you can use the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle and add those. The area of the triangle is 1/2*base*height and use the pythagorean theorem to find the base. 3² + b² = 5²; 9 + b² = 25; b² = 16; b = 4. The area of the triangle is 1/2*4*3 or 6 in. Since there are two of them, the total area of the triangles are 12 in. The area of the rectangle is length*width or (12 - 4) * 3 which is 8 * 3 or 24in. Add these areas together to get 36in total
