A parcel of land is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The base has a length of 425 ft.; the other sides, which are of equal
length, meet at an angle of 39 degrees. How long are they?

Answer:
The answer to your question is 636.6 ft
Explanation:
Data
base = 425 ft
angle = 39°
See the picture below
1.- Divide the triangle to get two right triangles.
Now the superior angle will measure 19.5° and the opposite side will measure 212.5 ft
2.- Use the trigonometric function sine to find the hypotenuse
sin 19.5 = 212.5/hyp
solve for hyp
hyp = 212.5 / sin 19.5
Result
hyp = 212.5/ 0.333
hyp = 636.6 ft

Answer:
734.215N
Explanation:
First we calculate the angle that corresponds to a 5% slope using the Tan-1 function
then we use the component that corresponds to the direction parallel to the road, additionally we must multiply by the gravity value to find the weight(g=9.81m/s^2)
Wx=M*g*sen(2.86)=1500kg*9.81*sen(2.86)=734.215N
Answer:
Line 3 has a mistake.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to the each other. Therefore, Line 1 is correct.
Also, the fields in an electromagnetic waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave: therefore, they are transverse waves. So Line 2 is also correct.
Electromagnetic waves, contrary to mechanical waves, do not need a medium to propagate: so, they can also travel through a vacuum. Therefore, Line 3 is wrong.
Finally, all electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum at the same speed, called speed of light:
So, Line 4 is also correct.
