a) 62.855m
We will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem here, as we know a and c, but not b. I have attached an image of a triangle sketch to set up the problem, which should hopefully help us to visualize this problem a bit better.
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(19.8)^2 + b^2 = (65.9)^2
392.04 + b^2 = 4342.81
b^2 = 3950.77
b = 62.855 (rounded to 3 places)
b) m = 0.315
The gradient is also known as the slope. I've shown what the points would be in the image attached. Now that we know the value of b (x in the points in image), we can use points E and C to find the slope.
Point 1: (0,0)
Point 2: (62.855, 19.8)
m = (19.8 - 0) / (62.855 - 0)
m = 19.8 / 62.855
m = 0.315 (rounded to three places)
c) 17.485 degrees
The angle of inclination would be angle C. To find angle C, we will need to use an inverse trigonometry function. Any can be used since we know all of the side lengths, but I will show Sine here, opposite / hypotenuse.
sin(x) = 19.8 / 65.9
x = sin^-1 (19.8/65.9)
x = 17.485 degrees (rounded to 3 places)
Hope this helps!! :)
Step One
Find z
All triangles have 180 degrees. No exceptions.
z + 47 + 90 = 180 combine like terms on the left.
z + 137 = 180 subtract 137 from both sides
z = 180 - 137
z = 43 degrees.
Step Two
Use the sine function to find y
Sin(43) = opposite side / hypotenuse
opposite side = 35
sin(43) = 35 / hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 35 / sin(43)
y = 35/0.6820
y = 51.32
Solve using cos(x)
Note this problem could have been done in a shorter way.
Cos(47) = adjacent / hypotenuse.
hypotenuse = adjacent / cos(47)
y = 35 / cos(47)
y = 35 / 0.6820
y = 51.32 Both answers agree. It is a good thing to know how to do this question both ways.
1. The average yards gained per play was 10.56
2. The total amount of yards recorded was 450.8 yards
<span>Every square is a rectangle. Always
</span>A<span> rectangle is any four-sided with four right angles and opposite sides are equal.
Squares has four right angles, so square is a special type of rectangle with all sides equal.
