To find the width of a river,a boy places a wooden peg at a point A on one side directly opposite of an object B on the opposite

bank.From A,he walks 50m
along the bank to a point C. He observes that angle ACB =34 degree.Calculate the width of the river.

Guys please help me ​

27.96m

This resembles a triangle(a right angled triangle in fact!)

If ACB is 34 and AC is 50, we must use trigonometry.

Here we should be using cosine

SOH

CAH

TOA

Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Adjacent = BC = x

Hypotenuse = AC = 50

cos(x/50) = 34

Using a calculator,

x = 41.45

Now we should be finding the width of the river ( Line AB)

50² - 41.45² = 781.8975

√781.8975 ≈ 27.96

Thus, width of river is 27.96 cm

Answer:

33.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

tan ACB = AB/AC

tan 34 = AB/50

AB = 50tan(34)

AB = 33.7254258421

What is the equation when y=5x+4 is reflected over the x-axis, y-axis &amp; y=x?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

A) y=-5x-4

B) y=-5x+4

C) y=\frac{x-4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

y=5x+4

Let's write this in function notation. Thus:

y=f(x)=5x+4

A)

To flip a function over the x-axis, multiply the function by -1. Thus:

f(x)=5x+4\\-(f(x))=-(5x+4)

Simplify:

-f(x)=-5x-4

B) To flip a function over the y-axis, change the variable x to -x. Thus:

f(x)=5x+4\\f(-x)=5(-x)+4

Simplify:

f(-x)=-5x+4

C) A reflection over the line y=x is synonymous with finding the inverse of the function.

To find the inverse, switch x and f(x) and solve for f(x):

f(x)=5x+4

Switch:

x=5f^{-1}(x)+4

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x-4=5f^{-1}(x)

Divide both sides by 5:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-4}{5}

And we're done :)

This famous clock tower has a clock face with a diameter of 23 feet. What is the approximate area of this clock face
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Therefore the approximate area of this clock face is 415.3 feet².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Clock is of Circular Shape,

Diameter = 23 feet

Radius =r =\dfrac{diameter}{2}=\dfrac{23}{2}=11.5\ feet

To Find :

Area of Clock Face = ?

Solution:

Area of Circle having Radius 'r' is given as,

\textrm{Area of Circle}=\pi r^{2}

Substituting the values we get

\textrm{Area of Clock Face}=3.14\times (11.5)^{2}=415.265=415.3\ feet^{2}

Therefore the approximate area of this clock face is 415.3 feet².
