The base of a triangular sail is 16 m shorter than its height. The area is 96 m squared . Find the base and height of the sail.

HACTEHA [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start by labeling the triangle. Lets say the height is x and the base is x-16.

Next, we know the area of the triangle is 96, so we should make an equation. The area (96) of a triangle is (b*h)/2. So lets substitute.

96=[(x-16)*x]/2

Now, we should simplify the equation. Let us start by moving the /2 to the other side and making it *2.

192=(x-16)*x

Open parenthesis and get

192=x^2-16x

simplify and get

x=24

x is the height so the base must be x-16.

base=8, height=24

A person can see the top of a building at an angle of 65°. The person is standing 50 ft away from
zhannawk [14.2K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (b)  112.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

For the given geometry, this becomes ...

  tan(65°) = (height above eye level)/(50 ft)

Then we have ...

  (height above eye level) = (50 ft)tan(65°) = 107.2 ft

Adding the height of eye level will give us the height of the building.

  building height = (eye level height) + (height above eye level)

  building height = (5 ft) + (107.2 ft)

  building height = 112.2 ft

Please help me with this question!

First off, let's convert the percentages to decimal format, so our 77% turns to 77/100 or 0.77, and our 55% turns to 55/100 or 0.55 and so on

now, the sum of both salines, must add up to the 77% mixture, let's say is "y"
so, 11 + 4 = y, and whatever the concentration level is, must also sum up to the mixture's concentration of 77%

anyway   thus

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
amount
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{first sol'n}&11&x&11x\\
\textit{second sol'n}&4&0.55&2.20\\
------&-----&-------&-------\\
mixture&y&0.77&0.77y
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
11+4=y\implies 15=\boxed{y}\\
11x+2.2=0.77y\\
----------\\
11x+2.2=0.77\cdot \boxed{15}
\end{cases}

solve for "x"
