Two stabilizing wires extend from the top of a pole to the ground, forming right triangles on

Mathematics

FrozenT [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: the height of the pole is 16.1 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario is illustrated in the attached photo.

x represents the height of the pole.

y represents the distance from the foot of one stabilizing wire to the foot of the pole.

30 - y represents the distance from the foot of the other stabilizing wire to the foot of the pole.

In solving the triangles, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side.

Considering triangle ACD,

Tan 60 = x/y

x = ytan60 = y × 1.732

x = 1.732y- - - - - - - - -1

Considering triangle BCD,

Tan 38 = x/(30 - y)

x = (30 - y)tan38 = 0.781(30 - y)

x = 23.43 - 0.781y- - - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes

1.732y = 23.43 - 0.781y

1.732y + 0.781y = 23.43

2.513y = 23.43

y = 23.43/2.513

y = 9.3

x = 1.732y = 1.732 × 9.3

x = 16.1 m

What is the metric system
Anettt [7]

Answer:

the decimal measuring system based on the meter, liter, and gram as units of length, capacity, and weight or mass. The system was first proposed by the French astronomer and mathematician Gabriel Mouton (1618–94) in 1670 and was standardized in France under the Republican government in the 1790s.

Solve the following quadratic equation<br>x+12x+36 - 16​
Doss [256]

Answer:

x= -2, x= -10

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 12x + 36 = 16

Began by setting this quadratic equation to 0. To do this, in this equation you must subtract.

x^2+12x+20=0

Next, we plug this into the quadratic formula, where a in this case is 1(there is nothing in front of x^2), b is equaled to 12(there is a 12 as the coeefficient of 12x), and c is equaled to 20.

The quadratic formula is as goes:

(-b+-(this means plus or minus)√b^2-4ac)/(2a)

After pluggin in and simplifying, the answer is x= -2 and x= -10

Find (f*g)(x) when f(x)=x^2-7x+12 and g(x)=7/x^2-16
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

  (f\cdot g)(x)=\dfrac{7x-21}{x+4}

Step-by-step explanation:

(f\cdot g)(x)=f(x)\cdot g(x)=(x^2-7x+12)\cdot\dfrac{7}{x^2-16}\\\\=7\dfrac{(x-3)(x-4)}{(x+4)(x-4)}=\dfrac{7(x-3)}{x+4}\\\\=\dfrac{7x-21}{x+4}

52 is what percent of 260
Nataly_w [17]
"is" means =
"what percent" can represent x
"of" is multiplying

so 52 = 260x
so divide 260 by both sides so
x = 52/260 = 0.2
and 0.2 = 20%
