A surveyor sights the far bank of a river at an angle of 110° to the near bank. She then moves 75 feet upriver and sights the sa

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Correct answer is 54.82 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us label the diagram and do the construction as per the attached answer image.

Let us consider $\triangle ABC$ :

$\angle B = 90^\circ\\\angle ACB = 180-110 = 70^\circ$

Let side AB = d ft and let side BC = x ft

We need to find AB to find the shortest distance across the river.

Using trigonometric identity of tangent:

$tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

$tan 70 = \dfrac{d}{x}\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{d}{tan70} = 0.36d ..... (1)$

Now, let us have a look at another right angled triangle ABD:

Let us consider $\triangle ABC$ :

$\angle B = 90^\circ\\\angle ADB = 180-150 = 30^\circ$

side AB = d ft and side BD = x+75 ft

Using trigonometric identity of tangent:

$tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

$tan 30 = \dfrac{d}{x+75}\\\text{Using equation (1)}:\\0.577 = \dfrac{d}{0.36d+75}\\\Rightarrow 0.207d + 43.27 = d\\\Rightarrow 0.793d = 43.27\\\Rightarrow d \approx 54.82\ ft$

Correct answer is 54.82 ft.

What is the equation of a horizontal line that has a y-intercept of 3?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis is

y = c

where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.

here the line passes through (0, 3) with y- coordinate 3

y = 3 ← is the equation of the horizontal line

Let the sequence {an} be defined so that a1 = 1 and each succeeding term is found by adding 3 to the one before it. Find the for

Sauron [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is arithmetic with n th term

$a_n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 1 and d = 3, thus

$a_{n}$ = 1 + 3(n - 1) = 1 + 3n - 3 = 3n - 2 → C

A store sells flower arrangements at a cost of $28 each. Which statements are true regarding the price of the arrangements? Chec

Maru [420]

Let's check each case to determine the solution to the problem.

we know that

The cost of each flower arrangements is $\$28$

Statements

case A) If the price is marked down by $10$ percent, the new price will be $\$25.20$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $10$ percent

then

the new price will be

$10\%= \frac{10}{100} =0.10$

$(1-0.10)*\$28=0.90*\$28 \\= \$25.20$

$\$25.20=\$25.20$

therefore

The statement case A) is True

case B) If the price is marked down by $25$ percent, the new price will be $\$21$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $25$ percent

then

the new price will be

$25\%= \frac{25}{100} =0.25$

$(1-0.25)*\$28=0.75*\$28 \\= \$21$

$\$21=\$21$

therefore

The statement case B) is True

case C) If the price is marked down by $50$ percent, the new price will be $\$19$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $50$ percent

then

the new price will be

$50\%= \frac{50}{100} =0.50$

$(1-0.50)*\$28=0.50*\$28 \\= \$14$

$\$14 \neq \$19$

therefore

The statement case C) is False

case D) If the price is marked down by $35$ percent, the new price will be $\$18.20$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $35$ percent

then

the new price will be

$35\%= \frac{35}{100} =0.35$

$(1-0.35)*\$28=0.65*\$28 \\= \$18.20$

$\$18.20=\$18.20$

therefore

The statement case D) is True

case E) If the price is marked down by $40$ percent, the new price will be $\$29.80$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $40$ percent

then

the new price will be

$40\%= \frac{40}{100} =0.40$

$(1-0.40)*\$28=0.60*\$28 \\= \$16.80$

$\$16.80 \neq \$29.80$

therefore

The statement case E) is False

. En el triángulo ABC, la medida del ángulo exterior en el vértice B es el triple de la medida del ángulo C y la mediatriz de BC

Sliva [168]

Responder:

| AB | = 12m

Explicación paso a paso:

Verifique el diagrama en el archivo adjunto.

En el diagrama, se puede ver que el lado FC es igual al lado FB de acuerdo con el triángulo isósceles FBC.

Además, el lado FB es igual a AB ya que son paralelos entre sí.

De la declaración anterior, | FC | = | FB | y | FB | = | AB |

Esto significa | FC | = | FB | = | AB |

Por lo tanto desde | FC | = 12 m, | AB | = 12 m ya que ambos lados son iguales.

De ahí el lado | AB | se mide 12m
