Answer:
Height of the lamppost = 5.602 ft + 2.912 ft = 8.514 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The illustration form a triangle that can be demarcated into 2 right angle triangle. One triangle representing depression triangle and the other elevation triangle.
Depression triangle
The opposite side of the triangle formed is the length of the pole from the base to the horizontal line of sight. Therefore,
using tangential ratio
tan 35° = opposite/adjacent
tan 35° = a/8
cross multiply
a = 8 tan 35°
a = 8 × 0.70020753821
a = 5.60166030568
a = 5.602 ft
Elevation triangle
The opposite side of this right angle triangle represent the length from the horizontal line of sight to the top of the lamppost.
tan 20° = opposite/adjacent
tan 20° = b/8
cross multiply
b = 8 tan 20°
b = 8 × 0.36397023426
b = 2.91176187413
b = 2.912 ft
Height of the lamppost = 5.602 ft + 2.912 ft = 8.514 ft
You would round it up to 9,400 because the 8 is next to the 3 and 8>5
Answer:
5.63
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle NLM is equal to KLM - KLN.
Since KLM = 137° and KLN = 47°, NLM = °90. (Maybe it doesn't look like a right angle, but the math doesn't lie.)
Since NLM = 16y, then 90 = 16y.
Dividing both sides by 16, we find that:
y = 5.625
You know that every 10 minutes the oil moves 25 meters so and in 1 hour there are 60 minutes the equation is 60/10(25) and then you solve
The answer is 150 meters squared
The house wall, the ground and the ladder form a right triangle, where the ladder is the hypotenuse.
Ladder = sqrt (25^2+10^2) =5sqrt(29)
