Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Call high street is a, using Pythagorean Theorem we have:
x^2 = 4 + a^2
b^2 = a^2 + 36
64 = x^2 + b^2
so we have x^2 = 16, a^2 = 12, b^2 = 48
so x= 4
It will be 90 feet considering the water triangle as shown as the figure
Answer:
c = <u>0.5 cm</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Sine rule in the triangle, then
= ( cross- multiply )
c × sin105° = 2 × sin15° ( divide both sides by sin105°
c = ≈ 0.5 cm ( to the nearest tenth )
This revolves around exact trig values - no easy way to say this, you just need to memorise them. They are there for sin cos and tan, but I will give you the main tan ones below - note this is RADIANS (always work in them when you can, everything is better):
tan0: 0
tanpi/6: 1/sqrt(3)
tanpi/4: 1
tanpi/3: sqrt(3)
tanpi/2: undefined
Now we just need to equate -2pi/3 to something we understand. 2pi/3 is 1/3 of the way round a circle, so -2pi/3 is 1/3 of the way round the circle going backwards (anticlockwise), so on a diagram we already know it's in the third quadrant of the circle (somewhere between pi and 3pi/2 rads).
We also know it is pi/3 away from pi, so we are looking at sqrt(3) or -sqrt(3) because of those exact values.
Now we just need to work out if it's positive or negative. You can look up a graph of tan and it'll show that the graph intercepts y at (0,0) and has a period of pi rads. Therefore between pi and 3pi/2 rads, the values of tan are positive. Therefore, this gives us our answer of sqrt(3).
