A man starts at a point A and walks 18 feet north. He then turns and walks due east at 18 feet per second. If a searchlight plac

Answer:

1/10 per sec

Step-by-step explanation:

When he's walked x feet in the eastward direction, the angle Θ that the search light makes has tangent

tanΘ = x/18

Taking the derivative with respect to time

sec²Θ dΘ/dt = 1/18 dx/dt.

He's walking at a rate of 18 ft/sec, so dx/dt = 18.

After 3seconds,

Speed = distance/time

18ft/sec =distance/3secs

x = 18 ft/sec (3 sec)

= 54ft. At this moment

tanΘ = 54/18

= 3

sec²Θ = 1 + tan²Θ

1 + 3² = 1+9

= 10

So at this moment

10 dΘ/dt = (1/18ft) 18 ft/sec = 1

10dΘ/dt = 1

dΘ/dt = 1/10 per sec

1) Given: circle k(O), ED= diameter ,m∠OEF=32°, m(arc)EF=(2x+10)° Find: x
qaws [65]

1. The major arc ED has measure 180 degrees since ED is a diameter of the circle. The measure of arc EF is (2x+10)^\circ, so the measure of arc DF is

m\widehat{DF}=360^\circ-180^\circ-(2x+10)^\circ=(170-2x)^\circ

The inscribed angle theorem tells us that the central angle subtended by arc DF, \angle DOF, has a measure of twice the measure of the inscribed angle DEF (which is the same angle OEF) so

m\angle DOF=2m\angle OEF=64^\circ

so the measure of arc DF is also 64 degrees. So we have

170-2x=64\implies106=2x\implies\boxed{x=53}

###

2. Arc FE and angle EOF have the same measure, 56 degrees. By the inscribed angle theorem,

m\angle EOF=2m\angle EDF\implies56^\circ=2m\angle EDF\implies m\angle EDF=28^\circ

Triangle DEF is isosceles because FD and ED have the same length, so angles EFD and DEF are congruent. Also, the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. It follows that

m\angle EFD+m\angle EDF+m\angle DEF=180^\circ\implies\boxed{m\angle EFD=76^\circ}

Triangle OFE is also isosceles, so angles EFO and FEO are congruent. So we have

m\angle EFO+m\angle FEO+m\angle EOF=180^\circ\implies\boxed{m\angle EFO=62^\circ}
