In order to fully understand the problem, it is best to sketch it. Sketching the system, we will see that the system forms a triangle where the angle of elevation is 36 degrees. We are asked to find the hypotenuse. We can use a trigonometric function. It should be noted that one of the sides should also be given in order to calculate the hypotenuse. Trigonometric functions that can be used are:

sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos(theta) = adjacent / hypotenuse

The distance from the top of the tree to the shadow is 40.8 ft.

From the given figure:

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 36= 33/H 
H=33/cos 6= 40.8 ft

A rock is thrown at 0 seconds from a height of 6 feet. If the parabola representing the height as a function of time has a verte
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The graph will have a height of 6 feet at 16 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The start time for throwing the rock = 0 s

The height from which the rock is thrown = 6 ft

The vertex of the parabola = 8 seconds

Given that the vertex is the axis of symmetry, then the time it takes the rock to reach the vertex (8 seconds) from the point (0, 6) will be the same time it takes the rock to reach the point on the other side of the parabola at the same 6 feet which will then have coordinates (8 + 8, 6) or (16, 6) which will be 6 feet in 16 seconds.

Brian irons 2/9 of his shirt in 3 3/5 minutes. At this rate, how much of his shirt does he iron each minute?
vodka [1.7K]

The speed for which Brian iron the shirts is given by:

R = \frac{\frac{2}{9}}{3\frac{3}{5}}

Rewriting we have:

R = \frac{\frac{2}{9}}{\frac{18}{5}}

R = \frac{10}{162}

Then, for each minute, we have the amount of ironed shirt is:

(\frac{10}{162})(1) = \frac{10}{162}

Answer:

At this rate, Brian plans 10/162 of his shirt.
