A 51-foot wire running from the top of a tent pole to the ground makes an angle of 58° with the ground. If the length of the ten

t pole is 44 feet, how far is it from the bottom of the tent pole to the point where the wire is fastened to the ground? (The tent pole is not necessarily perpendicular to the ground.)

Answer:

<em>35.11 ft</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

This given situation can be thought of as triangle \triangle PQR where PQ is the length of pole.

PR is the length of rope.

and QR is the distance of bottom of pole to the point of fastening of rope to the ground.

And \angle Q \neq 90^\circ

Given that:

PQ = 44 ft

PR = 51 ft

\angle R = 58^\circ

To find:

Side QR = ?

Solution:

We can apply Sine Rule here to find the unknown side.

Sine Rule:

\dfrac{a}{sinA} = \dfrac{b}{sinB} = \dfrac{c}{sinC}

Where  

a is the side opposite to \angle A

b is the side opposite to \angle B

c is the side opposite to \angle C

\dfrac{PR}{sinQ}=\dfrac{PQ}{sinR}\\\Rightarrow sin Q =\dfrac{PR}{PQ}\times sinR\\\Rightarrow sin Q =\dfrac{51}{44}\times sin58^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle Q =79.41^\circ

Now,

\angle P +\angle Q +\angle R =180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle P +58^\circ+79.41^\circ=180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle P = 42.59^\circ

Let us use the Sine rule again:

\dfrac{QR}{sinP}=\dfrac{PQ}{sinR}\\\Rightarrow QR =\dfrac{sinP}{sinR}\times PQ\\\Rightarrow QR =\dfrac{sin42.59}{sin58}\times 44\\\Rightarrow QR = 35.11\ ft

So, the answer is <em>35.11 ft</em>.

The length of the line segment <br><br> AB equals 3x+1<br><br> BC equals 4x-5<br><br> AC equals 8x-9
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

X = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is what I am picturing (not to scale)

A ----------------B-----------C

We are given the information of AB (which equals 3x + 1), BC (which equals 4x - 5), and AC (which equals 8x - 9).

With reference to the line, AB + BC = AC

So,

3x + 1 + 4x - 5 = 8x - 9

7x - 4 = 8x - 9

5 = x

The equation is y=mx+b.
ycow [4]

Answer: both ways are acceptable

Step-by-step explanation: When writing equations of lines in this form,

we usually keep the "b" value or the constant term as a fraction.

However, if you prefer decimals, you can absolutely change

it to a decimal to visualize is better if you'd like, it's really your choice.

For example, if the equation of a line was y = -3/4x - 7/4, I could leave

it how it is or I could change the -7/4 to -1.75 giving me y = -3/4x - 1.75.
