Let
If M is the midpoint, the x and y coordinates of M are the average of the x and y coordinates of P and Q:
We can solve this expression for the coordinates of Q:
Plug in the values for the coordinates of M and P to get
X = height of pole (in meters)
With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters.
The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)
------------------
Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle
So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)
This expression is listed. The answer is choice B
Answer:
B. 1,188 cubic units
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the area of the base
A = 1/2b*h (this would only be half the base so our formula would be)
A = b*h (Now enter values)
A = (9)(6)
A = 54 (now plug this into the volume formula)
V = Ab * h
V = (54)(22)
V = 1,188 cubic units
