Answer:

In traveling across flat land, you notice a mountain directly in front of you. Its angle of elevation (to the peak) is 3.5°. After you drive x = 13 km closer to the mountain, the angle of elevation is 9°. Find the height of the mountain (round to one decimal place). Just enter the height value with one decimal. Do not enter the unit.

The height of the mountain is 1.2 km without unit it is only 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two angle of elevation.

We have to find the height of the mountain.

Let the height be "h" .

Note:

Angle of elevation will increase as we move closer to the object.

Considering the distance from 3.5 ° as (13+x) km

Using trigonometric ratios:

For adjacent side "x".

⇒ tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

⇒ tan(9) = \frac{h}{x}               <em> ...equation (i)</em>

⇒ x\times tan(9) = h         <em>...equation (ii)</em>

For adjacent side "(13+x)"

⇒ tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

⇒ tan(3.5) = \frac{h}{13+x}          <em>...equation (iii)</em>

 Dividing equation (i) and (iii).

⇒ \frac{tan(9)}{tan(3.5)} =\frac{h}{x}\times \frac{13+x}{h}

⇒ 2.58 =\frac{13+x}{x}                  <em>...cross multiplication</em>

⇒ 2.58x=13+x

⇒ 2.58x-x=13+x-x   <em>...subtract x both side</em>

⇒ 1.58x=13

⇒ x=\frac{13}{1.58}

⇒x=8.22 km

Plugging x=8.22 km in equation (ii) we can find h that is the height of the mountain.

So,

⇒ x\times tan(9) = h

⇒ 8.22\times 0.15 =h

⇒ 1.23 = h

The height of the mountain is 1.23 km with one decimal it is 1.2 km only.

In getting the area of and equilateral triangle, you must first consider that all of its sides are congruent and that is 3 inches, so the formula in getting the area is height form its base so in getting its height you must use the pythagorean theorem by dividing the triangle so the hypotenuse of it is 3 and the base of 1.5inches, so the height is 4.77 inches then the area is 7.15 sqr.inch

HELP HELP !!!! PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM !!!
Vesnalui [34]
This one is best done by elimination:

We need to start 4 meters away, so B is clearly wrong. 

We first move towards Mr. Wilson (i.e. distance is decreasing) so A is wrong.

Our speed is faster on the way back, so the two sloped section must have differing slopes, so D is wrong.
(D also doesn't start at 4, it's wrong for two reasons.)

Only C is left.

We can check each part to make sure. First we start at 4m, then move away, then stay still (zero slope) for three seconds, then move back faster (higher slope). All parts check out ok.
