In ∆MNP, m∠N = 90º, NH – altitude, m∠P = 21º, PM = 4 cm. Find MH.

Answer:

0.51 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In right triangle MNP, MP = 4 cm, m∠N = 90°, m∠P = 21°

By the sine definition,

\sin \angle P=\dfrac{\text{Opposite leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{MN}{MP}\\ \\MN=MP\sin \angle P\\ \\MN=4\sin 21^{\circ}\approx 1.43\ cm

Now, consider right triangle HMN (it is right because NH is an altitude). By the cosine definition,

\cos \angle M=\dfrac{\text{Adjacent leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{MH}{MN}\\ \\MH=MN\cos \angle M

In the right triangle, two acute angles are always complementary, so

m\angle M=90^{\circ}-m\angle P=90^{\circ}-21^{\circ}=69^{\circ}

Thus,

MH=1.43\cos 69^{\circ}\approx 0.51\ cm

What does a line mean in a maths equation
Cerrena [4.2K]

A line means divided by

So basically if it was 1/2, then it would be 1 divided by 2.

P. S. 1 divided by 2 is not the answer I'm just explaining what a line is

_ please answer this question .
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

For the column "Slope Intercept", the graph is displaying y = -7/2x + 3. Because the line is going down 7 units and to the right 2 units, and the 3 is the point in which the line crosses the y-axis.

For the "Standard" column, it will be

7x + 2y = 6, because that's what it would look like in standard form. (To turn it from standard to slope intercept form, remember you must first subtract 7x on both sides to get 2y = -7x + 6, and then divide by 2 on both sides to get

y = -7/2x + 3.)

For column "Point Slope", I just realized you are supposed to pick a point on the line and plug the coordinates into this formula:⤵⤵⤵

<em>This is the point-slope formula.⤵⤵⤵</em>

y - y _{1} = m(x - x _{1})

For example we'll use point (2,-4). Also, remember that coordinates are written as (x,y), and that m represents slope.

So we have: y - (-4) = -7/2(x-2).

In other words, "Point Slope" would be

y + 4 = -7/2(x-2).

By the way, sorry this is a bit long, and took a while to complete. I had to re-educate myself on point-slope. Anyways hope this helps, I tried :)

PLEASE HELP!!! THX
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:  1) Product property of logarithm,

2) Subtraction property of logarithm

3) Equality property of logarithm

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Product property of logarithm,

log a + log b = log(a.b)

And, By the Subtraction property of logarithm

log a - log b = log(a/b)

Also, by the equality property of logarithm,

log(a) = log(b) ⇒ a = b

Given expression,

log_2(5)+log_2(x+2)-log_2(x+1)=log_2(7)                                                                

\implies log_2(5(x+2))-log_2(x+1))=log_2(7)  (Product property of logarithm)

\implies log_2(\frac{5(x+2)}{2(x+1)})=log_2(7)  (Subtraction property of logarithm)

\implies \frac{5(x+2)}{2(x+1)}=7   ( Equality property of logarithm )

\implies 5(x+2)=7(x+1)    ( Multiplicative property of equality )

\implies 5x+10=7x+7  ( Distributive property of equality )

\implies 3=2x    (subtraction property of equality )

x=\frac{3}{2}       (division property of equality )

Amanda and jamie are standing 25 feet apart and spot a bird in the sky between them the angle of elevation from Amanda is 25 fee
finlep [7]

Answer:

25.2294 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question drawing a triangle using the values given and then using the law of sines. (See image attached to know how to draw the triangle and use the values).

First we need to find the third angle of the triangle, that is, the angle in the vertix where the bird is:

y + 55 + 63 = 180

y = 62°

The relation between the angles and the distances are:

25 / sin(y) = x / sin(63)

25 / 0.8829 = x / 0.8910

x = 25 * 0.8910 / 0.8829 = 25.2294 feet
