Answer:
The height of the cliff CD is approximately 539.76 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The first angle of elevation with which the captain sees the person on the cliff = 61°
The second angle of elevation with which the captain sees the person on the cliff after moving 92 m closer to the cliff = 69°
The angle made by the adjacent supplementary angle to the second angle of elevation = 180° - 69° = 111°
∴ Whereby, the rays from the first and second angle of elevation and the distance the ship moves closer to the cliff forms an imaginary triangle, we have;
The angle in the imaginary triangle subtended by the distance the ship moves closer to the cliff = 180° - 111° - 61° = 8°
By sine rule, we have;
AB/(sin(a)) = BC/(sin(c))
Which gives;
92/(sin(8°)) = BC/(sin(61°))
BC = (sin(61°)) × 92/(sin(8°)) ≈ 578.165 m
BC ≈ 578.165 m
The height CD = BC × sin(69°)
∴ The height of the cliff CD = 578.165 m × sin(69°) ≈ 539.76 m.
The height of the cliff CD ≈ 539.76 m.
Is this a true/false? if so, it's true. (Only SAS, SSS, ASA, and AAS prove congruency between triangles).
Hope it helps <3
C! All you have to do is substitute the numbers into the problem!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Tn = ar^(n-1)
a = 4, r = 8/4 = 2 for n = 15
T15 = 4 × 2^(15-1)
= 4 × 2^14
= 4 × 16384
= 65536
Answer:
x = 8
y = 29
Step-by-step explanation:
By verticle angles theorem, the angles with the measure of ( 4x + 17 ), and the angles with the measure of ( y + 20 ) are equal.
Verticles angles theorem states, when two lines intersect, there are four angles formed. The angles opposite to each other will have the same measure or congruent measures.
Hence one can say that;
4x + 17 = y + 20
Inverse operations;
4x + 17 = y + 20
-17 -17
4x = y + 3
-3 -3
4x - 3 = y
Assuming that lines "m" and "n" are parallel, then the angles with the measure of ( 5x + 9 ) and the angles with the measure of ( y + 20 ) are congruent.
When two lines are parallel and are intersected by another line (transversal line), then the angles that are alternate and interior are congruent, in other words, the same measure.
Based on that, one can say;
5x + 9 = y + 20
Earlier it was found that;
y = 4x - 3
Now substitute that into the previous equation, and solve using simplification and inverse operations;
5x + 9 = 4x - 3 + 20
5x + 9 = 4x + 17
-9 -9
5x = 4x + 8
-4x -4x
x = 8
Back solve to find y
y = 4x - 3
y = 4(8) - 3
y = 32 - 3
y = 29
