Answer:

The height is 12.9m

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the distance from the corner of the flag to the opposite corner, for this we will use Pythagoras

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides

h² = s1² + s2²

h² = 10² + 20²

h² = 100 + 400

h² = 500

h = √500

h = 22.36

Now that we know this measurement we can calculate the height of the flagpole

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

α = 30

a: adjacent  = 22.36

o: opposite  = ?

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

is the tangent

tan α = o/a

tan 30 = o/22.36

tan30 * 22.36 = o

12.9 = o

The height is 12.9m

Which function f (x) , graphed below, or g (x) , whose equation is g (x) = 3 cos 1/4 (x + x/3) + 2, has the largest maximum and
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

g(x), and the maximum is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

for given function f(x), the maximum can be seen from the shown graph i.e. 2

But for the function g(x), maximum needs to be calculated.

Given function :

g (x) = 3 cos 1/4 (x + x/3) + 2

let x=0 (as cosine is a periodic function and has maximum value of 1 at 0 angle)

g(x)= 3 cos1/4(0 + 0) +2

    = 3cos0 +2

     = 3(1) +2

     = 3 +2

     = 5 !

Jasmine buys 3 T-Shirts and 3 Hats for $11.25. The next day, he buys 4 T-Shirts and 2 Hats for $10. How much does each T-Shirt a
leonid [27]

Answer: Each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Cost per T-shirt, y = Cost per Hat.

As per given,

3x+3y=11.25        (i)

4x+2y=10             (ii)

Multiply 4 to equation (i)

12x+12y=45          (iii)

12x+6y= 30             (iv)

Eliminate (iv) from (iii), we get

6y= 15

⇒ y = 2.5

Put value of y in (i)

3x+3(2.5)=11.25

⇒3x+7.5=11.25

⇒3x= 3.75

⇒x= 1.25

Hence, each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.
