Question

BRAINLIST ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Question 1:
(a) Using sine rule
ground/Sin 49 = plank/Sin 90

But sine 90 = 1, ground = 3 ft
Then,
3/Sin 49 = plank
Length of the plank = 3/Sin 49 ≈ 4.0 ft (rounded to nearest tenth)

(b) Height where the plank touches the wall

wall = Sqrt (plank^2 - ground^2) = Sqrt (4.0^2 - 3.0^2) ≈ 2.6 ft (Rounded to nearest tenth)

Question 2:
(a) Angle x
ground = 24 ft
support wire = 30 ft

Applying sine rule
support wire/Sin 90 = ground/Sin (90-x) ----- but Sin 90 = 1
Then,
Support wire = ground/Sin (90-x)
Sin (90-x) = ground/support wire = 24/30 = 0.8
90-x = Sin^-1(0.8) = 53.13 => x = 90-53.13 = 36.9°

(b) Height where the wire touches the tree (tree)
tree = Sqrt (support wire^2 - ground^2) = Sqrt (30^2 - 24^2) = 18 ft
