Answer: 13.79\º  

The <u>angle of depression</u> is that which <u>measurement is made between the visual line and the horizontal line</u> (figure attached), <u>taking into account that the object that forms the angle is below the horizontal</u>.

In additon, this angle is congruent with the elevation angle.

In the attached figure we can see the situation described in the statement:

The figure formed is a right triangle with two known sides. We can use the tangent trigonometric function to find the value of the angle \theta, as follows:

tan(\theta)=\frac{OC}{AC}  

Where OC=38.4ft is the opposite cathetum or leg to the angle \theta, and  AC=156.45ft is the adjacent cathetum or leg to \theta.

Then:

tan(\theta)=\frac{38.4}{156.45ft}  

tan(\theta)=0.245  

\theta=arctan(0.245)  

Finally we find the angle of depression of Juliet’s site to her boyfriend on the ground:

\theta=13.79\º

Volume of the cylinder is 480 cm³ (rounded off to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find volume of the cylinder when radius = 4 cm and height = 9.5 cm

Volume = πr²h = 3.14 × 4² × 9.5

             = 3.14 × 16 × 9.5 = 477.28 cm³ ≈ 480 cm³

Please help <br> Find the value of x
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of given angles must be equal to 360°

3x° + 2x° + 90° = 360°

5x + 90 = 360

5x = 270 divide both sides by 5

x = 54

How does adding the log together automatically mean that it is a factorial?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: The answer is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given an equality involving logarithm and we are to show the implication of L.H.S. to R.H.S.

We will be using the following two properties of logarithm:

(i)~\log_ba=\dfrac{1}{\log_ab},\\\\\\(ii)~log_ab+\log_ac=\log_a(bc).

The proof is as follows:

L.H.S.\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{\log_2N}+\dfrac{1}{\log_3N}+\dfrac{1}{\log_4N}+\cdots+\dfrac{1}{\log_{100}N}\\\\\\=\log_N2+\logN3+\log_N4+\cdots+\log_N100\\\\=\log_N\{2.3.4...100\}\\\\=\log_N\{1.2.3.4...100\}\\\\=\log_N{100!}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{\log_{100!}N}\\\\=R.H.S.

Hence proved.
