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

Edward had 45 water bottles. If he drank 1/9 of water bottles, how many did he drank?
Helen [10]

Answer:

He drank 5 water bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find one-ninth (1/9) of the total number of water bottles (45).

Multiply the two numbers together:

\frac{1}{9}*45

=\frac{45*1}{9}       Combine into numerator (top) to multiply

=\frac{45}{9}         Simplify the fraction by dividing top by bottom

=5        Answer

Therefore, Edward drank 5 water bottles.

A concert manager counted 525 ticket receipts the day after a concert. The price for a student ticket was $10.50, and the price
KiRa [710]

Answer:

150 student tickets and 375 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = # of student tickets sold, and y = # of adult tickets sold.

Total of 525 tickets were sold, so the first equation is x + y = 525. The register gained $8325, so 10.50x + 18y = 8235 is the second equation.

x + y = 525

10.50x + 18y = 8325

18x + 18y = 9450

10.50x + 18y = 8325

7.5x = 1125

x = 150

150 + y = 525

y = 375
