Answer:
x is approximately 226.3 feet
y is approximately 308.6 feet
z is approximately 226.3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters of the walls are;
The angle of elevation from the top of the shorter wall to the top of the opposing wall, θ₁ = 20°
From the diagram, the angle of depression from the top of the shorter wall to the bottom of the opposing wall, θ₂ = 45°
The distance from the bottom of the shorter wall to the base of the opposing wall, l = 320 feet
x = The height of the shorter wall = l × sin(θ₂)
∴ x = 320 feet × sin(45°) = 320 feet × (√2)/2 = 160·√2 feet ≈ 226.3 feet
∴ x ≈ 226.3 feet
By observation, we have;
y = x + z × tan(θ₁)
Where;
z = l × cos(θ₂)
∴ y = 160·√2 + 320 × cos(45°) × tan(20°) ≈ 308.6
y ≈ 308.6 feet
z = l × cos(θ₂)
∴ z = 320 × cos(45°) = 160·√2 ≈ 226.3
z ≈ 226.3 feet.
Collecting like terms,
Since the signs change when its position changes.
Answer:
The formatting on this is a little weird but if I'm reading it correctly:
1) 3.38
2) 7.29
3) 0.05
4) 0.42
Answer:
x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute y=0
0= -x^2
then swap the sides
-x^2=0 ,
change the signs
x^2=0
set the base equal to 0
x=0
