What we know so far:
Side 1 = 55m
Side 2 = 65m
Angle 1 = 40°
Angle 2 = 30°
What we are looking for:
Toby's Angle = ?
The distance x = ?
We need to look for Toby's angle so that we can solve for the distance x by assuming that the whole figure is a SAS (Side Angle Side) triangle.
Solving for Toby's Angle:
We know for a fact that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°; therefore,
180° - (Side 1 + Side 2) = Toby's Angle
Toby's Angle = 180° - (40° + 30°)
Toby's Angle = 110°
Since we already have Toby's angle, we can now solve for the distance x by using the law of cosines r² = p²+ q²<span>− 2pq cos R where r is x, p is Side1, q is Side2, and R is Toby's Angle.
</span>
x² = Side1² + Side2² - 2[(Side1)(Side2)] cos(Toby's Angle)
x² = 55² + 65² - 2[(55)(65)] cos(110°)
x² = 3025 + 4225 -7150[cos(110°)]
x² = 7250 - 2445.44
x = √4804.56
x = 69.31m
∴The distance, x, between two landmarks is 69.31m
Answer:
Jane has 11 books
Step-by-step explanation:
If Camilla has 15 and she has 4 more than Jane just subtract 15 - 4 = 11
Answer:
The height is 12.9m
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to find the distance from the corner of the flag to the opposite corner, for this we will use Pythagoras
In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides
h² = s1² + s2²
h² = 10² + 20²
h² = 100 + 400
h² = 500
h = √500
h = 22.36
Now that we know this measurement we can calculate the height of the flagpole
well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse
α = 30
a: adjacent = 22.36
o: opposite = ?
h: hypotenuse
sin α = o/h
cos α= a/h
tan α = o/a
we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)
is the tangent
tan α = o/a
tan 30 = o/22.36
tan30 * 22.36 = o
12.9 = o
The height is 12.9m
No,
although all the sides are the same length on an equilateral triangle the height is calculated by a straight perpendicular line at the mid point of the base.
The sides are not perpendicular with the base and are angled outwards
