Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A right angle triangle is formed.
The length of the guy wire represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
The height of the antenna represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
The distance, h from base of the antenna to the point on the ground to which the antenna is attached represents the adjacent side of the triangle.
To determine h, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
Therefore,
41² = 32.8² + h²
1681 = 1075.84 + h²
h² = 1681 - 1075.84 = 605.16
h = √605.16
h = 24.6 m
To determine the angle θ that the wire makes with the ground, we would apply the the cosine trigonometric ratio.
Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,
Cos θ = 24.6/41 = 0.6
θ = Cos^-1(0.6)
θ = 53.1°
Answer:
The length of BC is needed because it is the side opposite ∠A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the right angles triangle as shown in the attachment, we can get sin(A) without using Pythagoras theorem. Instead we will use SOH CAH TOA trigonometry identity.
According to SOH:
Sin(A) = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Sin(A) = |BC|/|AB|
Opposite side of the triangle is the side facing ∠A.
Based on the formula, we will need to get the opposite side of the triangle which is length BC for us to be able to determine sinA since the hypotenuse is given.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let “x” be the weight of the bottle and “y” is weight of honey.
We know the total weight of bottle full of honey is 1000 g.
So Equation 1 is x + y = 1000 g
And with half of the honey, we know the total weight is 600g.
Equation 2: x + (y/2) = 600 g
y/2=600 - x
y= 2 (600 - x)
y= 1200 - 2x
We can replace “y” with 1200 - 2x in Equation 1:
x + 1200 - 2x = 1000
x = 200 g
Weight of the bottle is 200 g.
