26. Law of sines, please give a step by step explanation

Mathematics
1 answer:
Stels [109]2 years ago

Answer:

  174.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to draw a diagram of the triangle we're concerned with. (See attached.)

We know the angle at the end of the shadow inside the triangle is 52°-22° = 30°. We assume the tree is growing straight up out of the hillside, so its angle with the hill inside the triangle is 90°+22° = 112°. Then the remaining angle between the shadow and the tree at the top of the tree is ...

  180° -30° -112° = 38°

Now, we have the angle opposite the tree, and the angle opposite the known side length of the triangle (215 feet along the hill, AC in the diagram). This is enough information to usefully use the Law of Sines.

  c/sin(C) = a/sin(A)

  c = a(sin(C)/sin(A)) = (215 ft)(sin(30°)/sin(38°)) ≈ 174.6 ft

The height of the tree is about 174.6 feet.

4(2x - 5) + 15 = 11 Write the steps you will use to solve the equation and explain each step.
vagabundo [1.1K]
First, multiply 4*2x-4*-5= 8x-20.
Second, add 15 to 8x-20
Third, that would equal 8x-20+15=11 
Fourth, 15+-20= -5 
Fifth, 8x-5=11
Sixth, add +5 to -5 and +5 to 11= 8x=16 
Last, do 8x/8x and 16/8x 
The answer is x=2

Find the point on the plane 2x+5y+z=8 that is nearest to​ (2,0,1).
Svetach [21]

Answer:

(2.2, 0.5, 1.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The parametric equation of the line normal to the plane and through point (2, 0, 1) can be written ...

... L = (2, 0, 1) + t(2, 5, 1)

We want to find the value of t (and the corresponding point) that makes L satisfy the equation of the plane.

... 2(2+2t) +5(0 +5t) +1(1+t) = 8 . . . . . put values from L in for x, y, z in plane

... 5 + 30t = 8 . . . . . simplify

... t = (8 -5)/30 = 0.1 . . . . solve for t (subtract 5, divide by 30)

For this value of t, L is ...

... (2, 0, 1) + 0.1(2, 5, 1) = (2.2, 0.5, 1.1)
