A 6-foot man walks on level ground toward a 60 foot flag pole. He notes different angles of elevation θ to the top of the pole w

hen he is different horizontal distances x away from the pole.
a) Express the man's horizontal distance from the base of the pole x (in feet) as a function of the angle of elevation θ in degrees. Type theta for θ.
b) Express the angle of elevation θ as a function of the man's horizontal distance to the base of the pole x.

Answer:

  a)  x = 54/tan(theta)

  b)  theta = arctan(54/x)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The tangent ratio is the ratio of the side opposite an acute angle in a right triangle to the adjacent side. For the angle of elevation, the adjacent side is the distance x to the flagpole. The side opposite is the 54-foot difference between the top of the man's head and the top of the flagpole. So, we have ...

  tan(theta) = 54/x

Solving for x gives ...

  x = 54/tan(theta)

__

b) Solving the first equation in the previous part for theta involves the inverse tangent function:

  theta = arctan(54/x)

What is the measure of angle TSU?​
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle VSU = 100. Angles TSU is a linear pair with angle VSU so adding them together equals 180. 180-100=80.

Answer:

Do no reject null hypothesis.  

Conclusion:

there is no sufficient statistical evidence at 0.025 level of significance to support the claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

mean x" = 5.4

standard deviation σ = 0.7  

n = 6

Null hypothesis H₀ : μ = 5.0  

Alternative hypothesis H₁ : μ > 5.0    

∝ = 0.025    

now,

t = ( 5.4 - 5.0) / ( 0.7/√6) = 0.4 / 0.2857 = 1.4

degree of freedom df = n-1 = 6 - 1 = 5

T critical = 2.571

Therefore; t < T critical,

Do no reject null hypothesis.  

Conclusion:

there is no sufficient statistical evidence at 0.025 level of significance to support the claim.

Hi there, hope everyone is well and staying cool :D
gogolik [260]

Answer:

A) By using the Pythagorean Theorem, we will see that 8^2 + 15^2 = 17^2. If we simplify it, we will find that the hypotenuse of ΔABC = 17

B) approximately 18.79

Step-by-step explanation:

A) In all honesty, you don't really need to look at ΔACD at all for this one. Just use the Pythagorean Theorem (like previously stated) and solve!

***Pythagorean Theorem is  leg^2 + leg^2 = hypotenuse^2

B) Here, you can also use the Pythagorean Theorem! However this time, the equation will be, 8^2 + 17^2 = AD.  

  • 8^2 + 17^2 = 64 +289
  • 64 + 289 = 385
  • \sqrt{385} \\ ≈ 18.79

Hope you do well on the rest of your math problems :D

a train travelling at 60 km per hour takes 18 second to cross a 180 metre long platform find the length of the train​
uranmaximum [27]
Lengthof train=X
platform length=180
total distance=x+180
speed=60km/hr=60×5/18=(300/18)m/
Time =18s
Time =Distance/speed
18=X+180/(300/18
18×300=18(X+180)
300=X+180
x=300-180=120
so length of the train=120m
