The height of the pole is the vertical leg of the right triangle. The angle of depression is an exterior angle to the triangle at its upper angle. The angle of depression is complementary to the interior angle, so the measure of the interior angle is 15. The base angles are 90 and 75. Use the tangent ratio now, using the base angle of 75 and the height of the pole being 50: tan75=50/x.
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode to do this and get that x = 13.4

  • [Right Triangle Only] sin∅ = opposite over hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

We have a right triangle. We can use trig to find the angle.

<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>

Angle = <em>x</em>

Opposite = 15

Hypotenuse = 23

<u>Step 3: Find Angle </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                    sinx° = 15/23
  2. Inverse:                         x° = sin⁻¹(15/23)
  3. Evaluate:                       x = 40.7057°

Answer:

960 ounces in 1 day

(Sorry for a late response, I just logged on)

Step-by-step explanation:

Most of that information is negligable (not important) besides 8 ounces in 12 minutes.

so an hour is 60 minutes, if we multiply both parts of the problem by 5 we get

40 ounces in 1 hour

a day is 24 hours, so if we multiply both sides by 24 well get our answer

960 ounces a day

6.1.3 quiz pythagorean theorem question 9
Olegator [25]

Answer: 14.73

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle.

EF^2 + DF^2 = ED^2

The hypotenuse is |ED| while the two shorter legs are |EF| and |DF|.

We can then apply the Pythagoras Theorem to find the length of EF.

(EF)^2 + (DF)^2 = (ED)^2

(EF)^2 + (12)^2 = (19)^2

(EF)^2 + 144 = 361

(EF)^2 = 361 - 144

(EF)^2 = 217

EF = 14.73
