An extremely large sink hole has opened up in a field just outside of the city limits. It is difficult to measure across the sin

k hole without falling in so you use congruent triangles. You have one piece of rope that is 50 ft. long and another that is 70 ft. long. You pick a point "A" on one side of the sink hole and "B" on the other side. You tie a rope to each spot and pull the rope out diagonally back away from the sink hole so that the two ropes meet at point "C" . Then you recreate the same triangle by using the distance from line "AC" and line "BC" and creating new segments CE and CD . The distance of line "DE" is 52.2 ft. 
What is the measure of angle ACB?

Triangle ABC and triangle DCE are congruent, so line DE = line AB

Use the cosine rule to find angle ACB
52.2^{2}= 50^{2}+  70^{2}-(2*50*70*cos(ACB))
2724.84=7400-(7000cos(ACB))
2724.84-7400=-7000cos(ACB)
-4675.16=-7000cos(ACB)
\frac{4675.16}{7000}=cos(ACB)
Angle ACB= cos^{-1} ( \frac{4675.16}{7000})
Angle ACB = 48.1°

Simplify for a lot of points<br> (1-sin^2x)(1-tan^2x)
notka56 [123]
1/sin^2x-1/tan^2x=
1/sin^2x-1/ (sin^2x/cos^2x)<<sin tan= sin/cos>>
= 1/sin^2x- cos^2x / sin^2x
= (1- cos^2x) / sin^2x <<combining into a single fraction>>
sin^2 x / sin^2x <<since 1- cos^2 x sin^2 x

=1
this simplifies to 1.

Step by step what is 3 (x+2)+5x
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

8x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify it, the first thing you want to do is distribute the three.


So

3(x+2) = 3x+6,

So we can then add the 5x to it.

3x+6+5x

Then, Combine Like Terms

8x+6
