PLEASE HELP!!! I don’t understand

Mathematics
1 answer:
asambeis [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the half angle identity for cosine:

cos(x/2)=+ or - sqrt(1+cos(x))/sqrt(2)

I'm going to figure out the sign part first for cos(x/2)...

so x is in third quadrant which puts x between 180 and 270

if we half x, x/2 this puts us between 90 and 135 (that's the second quadrant)

cosine is negative in the second quadrant

so we know that

cos(x/2)=-sqrt(1+cos(x))/sqrt(2)

Now we need cos(x)... since we are in the third quadrant cos(x) is negative...

If you draw a reference triangle sin(x)=3/5 you should see that cos(x)=4/5 ... but again cos(x)=-4/5 since we are in the third quadrant.

So let's plug it in:

cos(x/2)=-sqrt(1+4/5)/sqrt(2)

No one likes compound fractions (mini-fractions inside bigger fractions)

Multiply top and bottom inside the square roots by 5.

cos(x/2)=-sqrt(5+4)/sqrt(10)

cos(x/2)=-sqrt(9)/sqrt(10)

cos(x/2)=-3/sqrt(10)

Rationalize the denominator

cos(x/2)=-3sqrt(10)/10

A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, whose beacon-light is 136 feet above the
alexandr1967 [171]

The distance between the points A to B is 899.9 feet. After rounding off the  nearest integer we get 900 feet as the final answer.

Given we know that CD is perpendicular to AD.

The distance between CD is 139 feet.

As from points A the boat's crew measure the angle of elevation to the beacon as 6°

therefore, m∠A = 6°

Another time the angle of elevation is measured from point B which is 19°.

therefore, m∠DBC = 19°

tan 19° = CD/BD

BD = CD/tan19°

BD = 136/tan 19°

now for tan 6° = CD/AD (tangent is opposite over adjacent)

AD = CD/tan 6°

AD = 136/tan 6°

AB = AD ₋ BD

AB = 136/tan 6° ₋ 136/tan 19°

AB = 1295.2 ₋ 395.3

AB = 900 feet

hence the distance from point A to B is 900 feet.
