How far is the top of the lampost from the tip of its shadow?

Mathematics
1 answer:
astraxan [27]3 years ago

Answer:

About 14.58 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an angle, the side <em>opposite</em> that angle, and the <em>hypotenuse</em> of that triangle. If you remember SOH CAH TOA, the right trig ratio for this problem is <em>sine</em>. In this case, \sin{49^{\circ}=\frac{11}{x}. We want to solve for x, so we can multiply both sides by x to get x\sin{49^{\circ}}=11 and then divide both sides by \sin{49^{\circ}} to get x=\frac{11}{\sin{49^{\circ}}} \approx 14.58

So, the top of the lamppost is about 14.58 ft from the tip of its shadow

Answer:

25.3

1_ draw a triangle

the shortest side is a which will be 8(bunnies)

diagonal will be c ( what you need to find )

the last side will be b.

so the equation is a2+b2=c2 ( 2=squared)

that means..... 8x8+24x24=c

8x8=64

24x24=576

then add

576+64=640

the find square root

√640=25.2982212813

simplify to 25.3

you know your answer is correct because c is always the biggest side

Can someone please help me with math.
Inessa05 [86]

4- 20

I created an equation for this one:

4x+x=100

  • 4x= four times the amount of the other number
  • x= the number
  • combine like terms

5x=100

  • divide by 5

x=20

5. One pretzel costs $3

Create an equation:

  • 2s+p=7
  • 4s+3p=17

Mulitply 2s+p=7 by -2 so you can use elimination.

  • -4s-2p=-14
  • 4s+3p=17

Combine equations

p=3

Find an equation of the line containing (-3,4) and having slope -2. If this line contains the points (a,8) and (5,b), find a and
larisa [96]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The slope intercept line is written as y = mx + b in it's general form.

You can get the slope, m, immediately because it is given as -2

So far what you have is y = -2x + b

y intercept

To get the y intercept, use the point (-3 , 4)

x = - 3

y = 4

4 = -2*(-3) + b

4 = 6 + b                 Subtract 6 from both sides

4 - 6 = 6-6 + b

b = - 2

Line

y = -2x - 2

(a,8)

y = -2a - 2

8 = -2a - 2              Add 2 to both sides

8 +2 = -2a -2+2     Combine

10 = - 2a                 Divide by - 2

10/-2 = a

a = -5

(5,b)

y = -2x - 2

x = 5

y = b

b = -2*5 - 2

b = -10 - 2

b = - 12
