We will be using the cosine function to figure this out. 
The ramp, ground, and platform form a right triangle. 
The hypotenuse is 29, and the side adjacent to ∠x is 20.
SO:
      Cos ∠x = 20/29
      Cos ∠x = 0.68965517241379
 
Use the function on your calculator to find what angle has a Cos of 0.6896551
          Cos 0.6896551 = 46.397°

ANSWER: the angle of elevation is 46.4°

Hope this helps! God bless. :)

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

length = 200 m

width = 400 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the plaing area is L and the width of the playing area is W.

Length of fencing around three sides = 2 L + W = 800

W = 800 - 2L ..... (1)

Let A is the area of playing area

A = L x W

A = L (800 - 2L)

A = 800 L - 2L²

Differentiate with respect to L.

dA/dL = 800 - 4 L

It is equal to zero for maxima and minima

800 - 4 L = 0

L = 200 m

W = 800 - 2 x 200 = 400 m

So, the area is maximum if the length is 200 m and the width is 400 m.

How to find the area of a equilateral triangle that has a perimeter of 21?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
First, we have to find the length of each side of triangle. Equilateral triangle means 3 sides r in same length, so each side will be 21 ÷ 3 = 7
Now we need to calculate the height of the triangle. We can do this by Pythagoras theorem
Let the height be h
(7/2)^2 + x^2 = 7^2
The area should be 6.0621778265
Or u can say 6.06 corrected to 3 sig fig
