Answer:

The height of the tower is 141.74 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Let the position of the tower os AB with A as the base and B is the top.

Now, angle of elevation of point B from point C is 50°, and the from point D is 40°, and hence, CD = 50 meters,

Now, from Δ ABC, \tan 50 = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{x}{AC}

⇒ AC = \frac{x}{\tan 50} = 0.839x .......... (1)

Again, from Δ ABD,  \tan 40 = \frac{AB}{AD} = \frac{x}{AD}

⇒ AD = \frac{x}{\tan 40} =1.192x .......... (2)

Now, DC = AD - AC  

⇒ 50 = 1.192x - 0.839x

⇒ 50 = 0.353x

⇒ x = 141.74 meters.

Hence, the height of the tower is 141.74 meters. (Answer)

Answer: r = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the point (-2, r) lies on the graph of:

2*x + y = 7.

Then, if we that point is on the graph of the equation, we can replace the values and we will have:

2*(-2) + r = 7

and now we solve this for r-

-4 + r = 7

r = 7 + 4 = 11

r = 11

Find the first and second derivatives of the function y = sin(x^2)
exis [7]
Y = sin(x^2)

Use the chain rule.

We want dy/dx.

dy/dx = cos(x^2)*2x

dy/dx = 2xcos(x^2)

A herd of dinosaurs made paintings in the sand with their claws. Each baby dinosaur made 1515 paintings and each adult dinosaur
mart [117]

Answer:

4 adult dinosaurs and 12 baby dinosaurs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult dinosaurs be x.

Number of baby dinosaurs = 3x

Number of paintings made by each baby dinosaur = 15

Number of paintings made by each adult dinosaur = 7

Total number of paintings made by 3x baby dinosaurs = Number of baby dinosaurs * Number of paintings made by each baby dinosaur

= 3x * 15

= 45x

Total number of paintings made by x adult dinosaurs = Number of adult dinosaurs * Number of paintings made by each adult dinosaur

= x * 7

= 7x

Total number of paintings made by both baby and adult dinosaurs = 45x + 7x

= 52 x

Again the problem says that the total number of paintings made  = 208

So, 52x = 208

Dividing both sides by 52

\frac{52x}{52}  = \frac{208}{52}

Cancelling out the 52's from the top and bottom on the left

x = 4

So, number of adult dinosaurs = 4

Number of baby dinosaurs = 3x = 3*4 = 12
