The length of the support post is 40 ft.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, the height of the wall is 20 ft; support post forms 30 degree

Refer the attached image

Let us name the triangle as ABC where AB is the wall (opposite side) of 20 ft and \angle A is 30 degree (\theta) and AC is the length of the post.

To find: The length of the post (AC)

we know the formula, sin\theta=\frac{opp}{hyp} (trigonometric formula)

On substituting the values we get,

\Rightarrow sin(30^{\circ})=\frac{20}{AC}

The value of sin 30 degree is 0.5

\Rightarrow 0.5=\frac{20}{AC}\rightarrow AC=\frac{20}{0.5}\rightarrow AC=40 ft

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (- 10, - 10) to (6, - 2) that partitions the segment int
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Denote:

A(-10, -10)  

B(6, -2)

vector AB(6 - -10, -2 - -10) = (16, 8)

(3/5)vector AB = (16 x 3/5, 8 x 3/5) = (9.6, 4.8)

=> Point M that partitions the directed line segment AB into a ratio of 3 to 5:

M = A + (3/5)vector AB = (-10 + 9,6, -10 + 4.8) = (-0.4, -5.2)

Hope this helps!
