Answer:

312.51 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You would have to do tangent because if you add a triangle it gives you the opposite side length and you are trying to find the adjacent side lengths to the angle. It would look like this:

tan52=400/x

x*tan52=400*x

xtan52=400

xtan52/tan52=400/tan52

x=400/tan52

x=312.51 ft

HELP ME PLEASE !!!!

For this one, an easy way to solve it is to break it down into parts.  First lets convert 5 feet to inches.  

Multiply the number of feet by how many inches are in one foot.  

5 times 12= 60 in

Now just add the like terms

60 in + 2 in= 62 inches.

Now we see that Sarah is 62 inches tall, now we can convert to centimeters the same way.

62 times 2.54= 157.48

So that makes C your answer, Sarah is 157.48 cm tall.

Given triangle ABC, A=105°, a=10cm, b=7cm, find B,C and c.
Whitepunk [10]

The value of the side c will be 5.56 cm and angle C is 32.49° and angle B is 42.51°.

<h3>What is law of cosine?</h3>

Let there is a triangle ABC such that |AB| = a units, |AC| = b units, and |BC| = c units and the internal angle A is of θ degrees, then we have:

a² + b² – 2ab cos C = c²

Given triangle ABC, A = 105°, a = 10 cm, b = 7 cm.

Then we have

7² + c² – (2 · 7 · c) cos 105° = 10²

c² + 3.62c – 51 = 0

On solving, we have

c = 5.56

Then the angle C will be

10² + 7² – 2 · 7 · 10 · cos C = 5.56²

                149 – 140 cos C = 30.91

                                 cos C = 0.8435

                                        C = 32.49°

We know that

       ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

105° + ∠B + 32.49° = 180°

                         ∠B = 42.51°

Find the point on the line 2x+4y−3=0 which is closest to the point (2,0)
Finger [1]
L1: 2x+4y-3=0 ..........(1)
P: (2,0)
The point on the line L1 closest to the given point P is at the intersection of L1 with L2, which is the perpendicular passing through P. 

Slope of L1=-2/4=-1/2
Slope of L2=-1/(-1/2)=2
Since it passes throug P(2,0), we can use the point-slope formula:
(y-0)=2(x-2)  =>
L2: 2x-y-4=0.............(2)

Solve for x & y using (1) and (2) to get intersection point required:
(1)-(2)
2x-2x + 4y-(-y) -3 -(-4) =0
5y=-1, y=-1/5
Substitute y=1/5 in equation (1)
2x+4(-1/5)-3=0 =>
2x-19/5=0
x=19/10

=> the point on L1 closest to (2,0) is (19/10, -1/5)
