3, because a negative number multiplied by another negative number (in this case, itself) will always be a positive number.

3. A negative base raised to the power of 2 has a positive value.

Example ( -A ) ^ 2 = -A x -A = A^2

This is always true because, - x - = +

In ΔBCD, the measure of ∠D=90°, the measure of ∠C=77°, and CD = 41 feet. Find the length of BC to the nearest foot.

OLga [1]

Answer:

182 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are not given a diagram, always draw one for yourself (see diagram).

When you have a right triangle (triangle with 90° angle), you can use the trigonometry ratios, You can remember them using SohCahToa. It is read like this:

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse Soh

cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse Cah

tanθ = opposite/adjacent Toa

"θ" means the angle of reference (the angle you are talking about).

We are looking for the length of BC, which is the hypotenuse. I labelled it "d" (lowercase D) because it is opposite to ∠D.

We know ∠C = 77°. This will be our angle of reference (replace θ).

The side we know is DC, also known as "b" (lowercase B) because it's opposite to ∠B. "b" is the adjacent side when θ = C because "b" is touching ∠C.

Take the general trig. formula that has hypotenuse and adjacent: (cosine ratio)

cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse

Substitute the variables specific for this problem.

cosC = b/d

Substitute the values you know.

cos77° = (41 ft) / d

Isolate "d" to the left side

dcos77° = $d*\frac{41ft}{d}$ Multiply both sides by "d"

dcos77° = 41 ft

dcos77° / cos77° = 41 ft / cos77° Divide both sides by cos77°

d = 41 ft / cos77° Input into calculator

d = 182.261874....... ft Unrounded answer

d ≈ 182 ft Rounded to nearest foot (whole number)

Remember d = BC. It's often easier to use one letter for calculations.

Therefore the length of BC is about 182 feet.

Two people are standing on opposite sides of a hill. Person A makes an angle of elevation of 65° with the top of the hill and pe

8090 [49]

Answer:

Option 3. 71 ft. is the distance between B and top of the hill.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the hill is h ft and the distance of A from the hill be x ft and distance from B to hill is y.

It is given distance between A and B is 45 ft. ∠BAO = 65° and ∠ABO = 80°.

We have to find the distance of B from the top of the hill.

Now from ΔACO $tan 65 = \frac{h}{45-x} = 2.14$

$h=2.14(45-x)$

From ΔBCO $tan80 = \frac{h}{x} = 5.67$

h = 5.67x

Now h = 5.67x = 2.14(45-x)

5.67x = 96.3 - 2.14x

2.14x + 5.67x = 96.3

7.81x = 96.3

x = 96.3/7.81 = 12.33 ft

Therefore $cos80 = \frac{x}{OB}$

$0.174 = \frac{12.33}{OB}$

$OB = \frac{12.33}{.174}=70.86=71ft.$

Therefore 71 ft is the distance between B and the top of the hill.
