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

14. A sum of $2700 is to be given in the form of 63 prizes. If the prize is of
aliina [53]

Answer:

$100 prize = 15, $25 prize = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

$100 prize = x

$25 prize = y

=> x + y = 63 (1)

=> 100x + 25y = 2700 (2)

=> 100x/25 + 25y/25 = 2700/25

=> 4x + y = 108 (3)

On subtracting 2 and 3

=> 4x + y - (x + y) = 108 - 63

=> 4x + y - x - y = 45

=> 3x = 45

=> x = 15

=> 15 + y = 63

=> y = 63 - 15

=> y = 48

En un distrito, hay una calle peatonal. El municipio decidió colocar faroles, bancas y sembrar árboles para mejorar el ornamento
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

El lugar donde la linterna, los bancos y los árboles se encuentran nuevamente está a 300 metros del punto de inicio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Los parámetros dados son;

El espacio entre las linternas = 30 metros.

El espacio entre los bancos = 20 metros.

El espacio entre los árboles = 50 metros.

Por lo tanto, tenemos, la ubicación donde la linterna, los bancos y los árboles se encuentran nuevamente, está dada por el mínimo común múltiplo de cada una de sus distancias de separación individuales como sigue;

      2   divide   30   20   50 {}  

{}      <u>5  divide    15    10    25</u>

{}                           3      2    5

El LCM = 2 × 5 × 3 × 2 × 5 = 300

El lugar donde la linterna, los bancos y los árboles se vuelven a encontrar está a 300 metros del punto de inicio.
