The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

(35)/(40.5+54)=x/54-------- > (35)/(94.5)=x/54---------> x=(54)*(35)/(94.5)

X=20 ft

the answer is 20 ft

Answer:

The height of the platform is 20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the problem is shown.

Let's call α to the angle opposite to the 35 ft side. From sine definition:

sin α = opposite/hypotenuse

Taking into consideration both, major and minor triangles:

sin α = 35/(40.5 + 54) = x/54

where x can be isolated, as follows:

x = 35/(40.5 + 54) * 54 = 20 ft

The arch of a bridge forms the upper half of an ellipse. The arch is 6 meters above the 20-meter-wide river. Write an equation f

aksik [14]

Answer:

$\frac{x^2}{36} + \frac{y^2}{100} = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

The equation of the ellipse

This is calculated as:

$\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$

Where:

$b =6$ ---- height

$a = 0.5 * 20 =10$ --- width

So:

$\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$

$\frac{x^2}{6^2} + \frac{y^2}{10^2} = 1$

$\frac{x^2}{36} + \frac{y^2}{100} = 1$

Solve for<br> a. 7a-2b = 5a+b

Stels [109]

<span>So we have a problem with two unknows and one equation. We have to express one over the other like this: 7a - 2b = 5a + b. First we separate one kind on the left side and the other kind on the right side: 7a - 5a = b + 2b. Then: 2a = 3b. Now we divide both sides by 2 and get: a= 3b/2.</span>

If p is inversely proportional to the square of q, and p is 25 when q is 3, determine p

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

p = 9 when q = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

p is inversely proportional to the square of q

This means that:

$p = \frac{k}{q^2}$
