<h3>Answer: 293 feet</h3>

==========================================

Explanation:

See the attached image below. The information that the tower is 500 ft is never used. Focus solely on triangle ABD (ignore point C).

AB = 200

AD = x = unknown

angle ABD = angle B = 47 degrees

Use the cosine rule to help find x

---------

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(B) = AB/BD

cos(47) = 200/x

x*cos(47) = 200

x = 200/cos(47)

x = 293.255837127926

Rounding to the nearest foot, we get 293 feet as the answer.

Two legs of a right triangle are 4cm, and 3cm. find the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle

sergiy2304 [10]

It'll be 4^2+ 3^2 then the answer you get you take the square root of it which will give you the hypotenuse.
Your answer would be 5 because square root of 25 is 5
If u want the formula it's a^2+b^=c^2
C is the hypotenuse and a and b is the lengths

Suppose each edge of the cube shown in the figure is 10 inches long. Find the sine and cosine of the angle formed by diagonals D

tatiyna

Check the picture below.

$sin(EDG )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{10}}{\underset{hypotenuse}{10\sqrt{3}}}\implies sin(EDG )=\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\implies sin(EDG )=\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{rationalizing the denominator}}{sin(EDG )=\cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3^2}}\implies sin(EDG )=\cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$cos(EDG )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{10\sqrt{2}}}{\underset{hypotenuse}{10\sqrt{3}}}\implies cos(EDG )=\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}\implies cos(EDG )=\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{rationalizing the denominator}}{cos(EDG )=\cfrac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{3^2}}\implies cos(EDG )=\cfrac{\sqrt{6}}{3}}$

Answer:

1. 46.125

Step-by-step explanation: Is your second one in the right format? I don't understand what it is asking. For the first one, however, you need to free the y being multiplied to 8 and so you are going to undo it by dividing 369 by 8.
