Answer:

Answer is 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the illustration above. See attachment for interpretation of this illustration.

To find the part label a in the attachment which is the length of the foot of the guide wire from the ground to the palm tree, we apply the sine rule, which says

a/sineA = b/sineB

In this case

a = ? , A = 58° , b = 6ft, B = 32°

So

a/sine58 = 6/sine32

a/0.848 = 6/0.5299

a = 6*0.848/0.5299

a = 5.088/0.5299

a = 9.601 ~ 9.6

Find y.<br> Help me please thanks
valina [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion

First draw FH

<FOH and <FGH share the end points of the chord FH

<FOH is a central angle.

<FGH touches the circumference of the circle in the on the same side of the point of angle <FOH is closest to

Therefore <FGH  is 1/2 <FOH. That is always true of central angles and the smaller angle touching the circumference that <FOH points to

Conclusion

<FGH = 1/2 < FOH

58 = 1/2 <FOH

Therefore <FOH = 2 * 58 = 116

y = < FOH

Answer

y = 116

Write as an improper fraction<br> 8 1/2<br> (Simplify your answer.)
liq [111]

Answer:

\frac{17}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a mixed fraction to a improper fraction, you have to multiply the denominator (2) by the whole number (8). 8 multiplied by 2 is 16. Then add the numerator (1). 16+1=17. That becomes your numerator, the denominator (2) stays the same.

I hope this helps!

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (5,-9) and (1,3).
____ [38]

Given coordinates of the endpoints of a line segment  (5,-9) and (1,3).

In order to find the equation of perpendicular line, we need to find the slope between given coordinates.

Slope between (5,-9) and (1,3) is :

\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{3-\left(-9\right)}{1-5}

m=-3

Slope of the perpendicular line is reciprocal and opposite in sign.

Therefore, slope of the perpendicular line = 1/3.

Now, we need to find the midpoint of the given coordinates.

\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)

=\left(\frac{1+5}{2},\:\frac{3-9}{2}\right)

=\left(3,\:-3\right)

Let us apply point-slope form of the linear equation:

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y - (-3) = 1/3 (x - 3)

y +3 = 1/3 x - 1

Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

y +3-3 = 1/3 x - 1 -3

<h3>y = 1/3 x - 4 .</h3>
