What is the length of the side opposite the 30° angle?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

5/√3 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The property is that the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle are in the ratio 1:2:√3. Thus if you know that the side opposite the 60 degree angle measures 5 inches then then this is √3 times as long as the side opposite the 30 degree so the side opposite the 30 degree angle is 5/√3 inches long.

A projectile is launched into the air. The function h(t) = –16t2 + 32t + 128 gives the height, h, in feet, of the projectile t s

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

t = 4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the projectile after it is launched is given by the function :

$h(t)=-16t^2+32t+128$

t is time in seconds

We need to find after how many seconds will the projectile land back on the ground. When it land, h(t)=0

So,

$-16t^2+32t+128=0$

The above is a quadratic equation. It can be solved by the formula as follows :

$t=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

Here, a = -16, b = 32 and c = 128

$t=\dfrac{-32\pm \sqrt{(32)^2-4\times (-16)(128)} }{2\times (-16)}\\\\t=\dfrac{-32+ \sqrt{(32)^2-4\times (-16)(128)} }{2\times (-16)}, \dfrac{-32\- \sqrt{(32)^2-4\times (-16)(128)} }{2\times (-16)}\\\\t=-2\ s\ \text{and}\ 4\ s$

Neglecting negative value, the projectile will land after 4 seconds.
