SOH,CAH, TOA so it would be TANGENT since it would be Opposite over Adjacent. Tan(15) = 9/a put Tan(15) onto your calculator it would be .267949 round that to .27 = 9/a cross multiply  
a = 33.588. C is the correct answer.

Answer:

33.59 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the sum of all interior angle of a triangle is supplementary,

Thus, for the triangle ABC,

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

Given, ∠B = 15° and ∠C = 90°,

⇒ ∠A + 15° + 90° = 180° ⇒ ∠A + 105° = 180° ⇒ ∠A = 180° - 105° = 75°,

Now, By the law of sine,

In triangle ABC,

\frac{sin A}{a}=\frac{sin B}{b}

We have, b = 9 unit,

\implies \frac{sin 75^{\circ}}{a}=\frac{sin 15^{\circ}}{9}

\implies 9\times \frac{sin 75^{\circ}}{sin 15^{\circ}} = a

\implies 9\times 3.73205080757=a\implies a = 33.5884572681\approx 33.59

Thus, the value of a is 33.59 unit ( approx )

4. Gloria the grasshopper is working on her hops.
aivan3 [116]

The path that Gloria follows when she jumped is a path of parabola.

The equation of the parabola  that describes the path of her jump is \mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{Height = 20}

\mathbf{Length = 28}

<em>Assume she starts from the origin (0,0)</em>

The midpoint would be:

\mathbf{Mid = \frac 12 \times Length}

\mathbf{Mid = \frac 12 \times 28}

\mathbf{Mid = 14}

So, the vertex of the parabola is:

\mathbf{Vertex = (Mid,Height)}

Express properly as:

\mathbf{(h,k) = (14,20)}

A point on the graph would be:

\mathbf{(x,y) = (28,0)}

The equation of a parabola is calculated using:

\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}

Substitute \mathbf{(h,k) = (14,20)} in \mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}

\mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}

Substitute \mathbf{(x,y) = (28,0)} in \mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}

\mathbf{0 = a(28 - 14)^2 + 20}

\mathbf{0 = a(14)^2 + 20}

Collect like terms

\mathbf{a(14)^2 =- 20}

Solve for a

\mathbf{a =- \frac{20}{14^2}}

\mathbf{a =- \frac{20}{196}}

Simplify

\mathbf{a =- \frac{5}{49}}

Substitute \mathbf{a =- \frac{5}{49}} in \mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}

\mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}

Hence, the equation of the parabola  that describes the path of her jump is \mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}

See attachment for the graph
