Answer:

The Width = 28 inches

The Height = 21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

The width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3

Using Pythagoras Theorem

Width² + Height² = Diagonal²

Since we known that the size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches.

Hence, for this new TV

Width² + Height² = 35²

We are given ratio: 4:3 as aspect ratio

Width = 4x

Height = 3x

(4x)² +(3x)² = 35²

= 16x² + 9x² = 35²

25x² = 1225

x² = 1225/25

x² = 49

x = √49

x = 7

Hence, for the 35 inch tv set

The Width = 4x

= 4 × 7

= 28 inches.

The Height = 3x

= 3 × 7

= 21 inches

Two radar stations 5.5 miles apart are tracking an airplane. The straight line distance
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

19°

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached an image showing this elevation.

From the image, let's first find the angle A by using cosine rule.

Thus;

8.1² = 5.5² + 13.1² - 2(5.5 × 13.1)cos A

65.61 = 30.25 + 171.61 - 144.1cos A

144.1cos A = 171.61 + 30.25 - 65.61

144.1cosA = 136.25

cosA = 136.25/144.1

cosA = 0.9455

A = cos^(-1) 0.9455

A = 19°

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

72.5mph

Step-by-step explanation:

There is an easy way to work this. Divide the miles he drove by 2 so that you know how much he drove in 1/5 hours.

29/2= 14.5miles driven in 1/5 hours

Now, just multiply that number by 5 so that you know how many miles he drove in 5/5 hours (one full hour).

14.5*5= 72.5miles

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The equation of the line normal to the curve of y=cos1/3x, where x=pi is y= 2√3 x - 10.38

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the normal to the curve is

Y- y1 = - 1/m (x- x1)

Where m is the gradient.

See attached picture for the complete solution.
