Answer:

The bird is at a height of 1.95 km from the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the distance between susan and mark is 7 km and bird is between  susan and mark. The angles of elevation they make are 20º and 50º, respectively.

Draw a perpendicular line from the bird on base.

Let the distance of susan from and the altitude be x.

In triangle ABS,

tan(20^{\circ})=\frac{AB}{x}

tan(20^{\circ})x=AB

0.364x=AB       ..... (1)

In triangle ABM,

tan(50^{\circ})=\frac{AB}{7-x}

1.192(7-x)=AB     ..... (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

0.364x=1.192(7-x)

1.556x=8342

x=5.36

The length of AB is,

AB=0.364(5.36)=1.95147\approx 1.95

Therefore, the he bird is at a height of 1.95 km from the ground.

the product of 2 consecutive positive into is 1,332. Explain how you can write and solve a quadratic equation to find the value
Dominik [7]
Let the smaller one is x so the larger is x+1 
x(x+1)=1332 
x^2+x=1332 
x^2 +x -1332 =0 
(x - 36)(x + 37) =0
so x = 36 or x = -37
therefor the larger integer is either 37 or -36

A box is x to inches high,(2x+3)inches wide, and (2x+5) of inches long. In terms of x, what is the volume (v) of the box?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

The volume of the box is V=(4x^3+16x^2+15x)\ in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the box is equal to

V=LWH

where

L is the length of the box in inches

W is the width of the box in inches

H is the height of the box in inches

we have

L=(2x+5)\ in\\W=(2x+3)\ in\\H=x\ in

substitute in the formula

V=(2x+5)(2x+3)x

V=(4x^2+6x+10x+15)(x)

V=(4x^2+16x+15)(x)

V=(4x^3+16x^2+15x)\ in^3
