Dustin is standing at the edge of a vertical cliff, 40 meters high, which overlooks a clear lake. He spots a fluffy white cloud

above the lake, which from his point of view has an angle of elevation of $30^\circ.$ He also sees the reflection of the cloud in the lake, which has an angle of depression of $60^\circ.$ Find the height of the cloud above the lake, in meters.

Answer:

53.33 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB represents the height of the cliff,

( where, A is top and B is bottom ),

Also, C and D represents the shadow of the cloud and cloud in the sky respectively,

Suppose E is a point in the segment CD,

Such that,

AB = DE = 40 meters,

According to the question,

m\angle CAE = 30^{\circ}

m\angle EAD = 60^{\circ}

Since,

\tan =\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}

\implies \tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{DE}{AE}

\sqrt{3}=\frac{40}{AE}

\implies AE = \frac{40}{\sqrt{3}}

Now,

\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{CE}{AE}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}CE}{40}

\implies CE = \frac{40}{3}

Hence,

The height of the cloud above the lake = CE + ED

=\frac{40}{3}+40=13.33+40 = 53.33\text{ meters}

The weight of a bull clad is 388 kilograms. If it’s weight increases at a rate of 1 2/5 kilograms per day how long it will take
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

It will take  <u><em>80 days</em></u>  for the bull calf to reach a weight of 500 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The weight of a bull calf is 388 kilograms.

Now, to find the weight of bull calf of how long it will take to reach a weight of 500 kilograms, if it’s weight increases at a rate of 1 2/5 kilograms per day.

Required weight which to be increased = 500 - 388 = 112 kilograms.

Rate of weight increase = 1\frac{2}{5}=\frac{7}{5}

                                        = 1.4\ kilograms.

Thus, the time required = \frac{required\ weight}{rate\ of\ weight}

                                        = \frac{112}{1.4}

                                        = 80.

<em>The time required   =    80 days</em>.

Therefore, it will take 80 days for the bull calf to reach a weight of 500 kilograms.

Find each measure m&lt;1, m&lt;2,m&lt;3
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

option 2.

m1 = 75    ,   m2 = 129   ,   m3 = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

with the rule that the internal angles of a triangle add up to 180 ° we can calculate the missing angles

x + 46 + 29 = 180

x = 180 - 46 -29

x = 105

a flat angle has 180 °

m1 + 105 = 180

m1 = 180 - 105

m1 = 75

46 + 54 + y = 180

y = 180 - 46 -54

y = 80

80 = z + 29

z = 80 - 29

z = 51

as they are two crossed lines the angle is reflected from the opposite side

with that principle and knowing that the angle of a turn is 360 °, if we subtract the 2 known angles and divide it by 2 we will obtain the missing angle (m2)

m2 * 2 = 360 - 51 * 2

m2 = 258/2

m2 = 129

m2 = 29 + m3

129 = 29 + m3

m3 = 129 - 29

m3 = 100
