Answer:

The height from the top of the flag pole to the top of the shadow = 47 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the flag pole = 25 ft

Length of the shadow cast by the flag pole = 40 ft

To find the approximate height from the top of the flag pole to the top of the shadow.

Solution:

On drawing the flagpole and the shadow, we get a right triangle of which the legs are given.

Leg 1 =25\ ft

Leg 2 = 40\ ft

We need to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Applying Pythagorean theorem.

Hypotenuse^2=Leg1^2+Leg2^2

Hypotenuse^2=25^2+40^2

Hypotenuse^2=625+1600

Hypotenuse^2=2225

Taking square root  both sides :

\sqrt{Hypotenuse^2}=\sqrt{2225}

Hypotenuse=47.1\approx 47

Thus, the height from the top of the flag pole to the top of the shadow = 47 feet.

A dog breeder plans to mix two types of food to make a mix of low cost
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

  • 3.75 bags of ChowChow
  • 0.75 bags of Kibble

Step-by-step explanation:

The constraints on protein, minerals, and vitamins give rise to the inequalities ...

  40c +30k ≥ 150 . . . . . . required protein

  20c +20k ≥ 90 . . . . . . required minerals

  10c +30k ≥ 60 . . . . . . . required vitamins

And we want to minimize 10c +12k.

The graph shows the vertices of the feasible region in (c, k) coordinates. The one that minimizes cost is (c, k) = (3.75, 0.75).

To minimize cost, the daily feed should be ...

  • 3.75 bags of ChowChow
  • 0.75 bags of Kibble

Daily cost will be $46.50.

Korvikt [17]

The value of csc C in fraction and in decimal form is as follows:

csc C  = 5 / 3

csc C = 1.66666666667

Using trigonometric ratio,

secant A = 1 / cos A = hypotenuse / adjacent

Therefore,

sec A = 5/3

sec A = 1 / cos A

cos A = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos A = 3 / 5

A = cos⁻¹ 0.6

A = 53.1301023542

Therefore,

∠A = 53°

∠B = 90°

∠C = 180 - 143 =  37°

cosec C = 1 / sin C = hypotenuse / opposite

cosec C = 5 / 3
