Answer:
32√5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the right triangles PQA and PQB as well as the given right triangle QAB.
cot(PAQ) = 2/5 = QA/PQ
cot(PBQ) = 3/5 = QB/PQ
cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (2/5) / (3/5) = 2/3
cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (QA/PQ) / (QB/PQ) = QA / QB
QA / QB = 2/3
QA = (2/3) QB
QB = (3/2) QA
By the Pythagorean Theorem we have:
(QA)² + 32² = (QB)²
(QA)² + 32² = (3/2 QA)²
(QA)² + 1024 = (9/4) (QA)²
(5/4) (QA)² = 1024
(QA)² = (4/5)1024 = 4096/5
QA = 64/√5
Solve for PQ.
cot(PAQ) = QA/PQ
PQ = QA / cot(PAQ)
PQ = (64/√5) / (2/5) = 32√5
The height of the tower is 32√5.
Answer:
x= 60°, y = 80°, z = 40°
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the line substending 40° and Z°; you would see that both lines are parallel and so their angles are they the same.
Hence z= 40° { corresponding angles of parallel lines}
Similarly;
Look at the line substending 60° and x°; you would see that both lines are parallel and so their angles are they the same.
60° = x° { corresponding angles of parallel lines}
Now looking at the angle between x and y; let's call the angle between them r
And you would observe closely that r = z° = 40°{ vertically opposite angles are equal}
Note that x + r + y = 180°{ angle on a straight line}
y = 180° - ( x + r)
y = 180 - (60+40)
y = 180° - 100°
= 80°
Answer:
12 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 inch per 2 miles
3 inches away
3 ÷ 1/2 = 6
6 * 2 = 12
Answer:
the one on the bottom left, with 23 all by its lonesome
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we can make a proportion.
6 5
-- = ---
10 x
to solve this proportion we can cross multiply and divide.
5 times 10 is 50. divided by 6 is 8.3
it will take her 8.3 minutes to run 5 laps
