<span>Dawn was at 6 am.
Variables
a = distance from a to passing point
b = distance from b to passing point
c = speed of hiker 1
d = speed of hiker 2
x = number of hours prior to noon when dawn is
The first hiker travels for x hours to cover distance a, and the 2nd hiker then takes 9 hours to cover that same distance. This can be expressed as
a = cx = 9d
cx = 9d
x = 9d/c
The second hiker travels for x hours to cover distance b, and the 1st hiker then takes 4 hours to cover than same distance. Expressed as
b = dx = 4c
dx = 4c
x = 4c/d
We now have two expressions for x, set them equal to each other.
9d/c = 4c/d
Multiply both sides by d
9d^2/c = 4c
Divide both sides by c
9d^2/c^2 = 4
Interesting... Both sides are exact squares. Take the square root of both sides
3d/c = 2
d/c = 2/3
We now know the ratio of the speeds of the two hikers. Let's see what X is now.
x = 9d/c = 9*2/3 = 18/3 = 6
x = 4c/d = 4*3/2 = 12/2 = 6
Both expressions for x, claim x to be 6 hours. And 6 hours prior to noon is 6am.
We don't know the actual speeds of the two hikers, nor how far they actually walked. But we do know their relative speeds. And that's enough to figure out when dawn was.</span>
Answer:
the angle of elevation is 12.56°
Step-by-step explanation:
the height of the ramp represents the opposite side and the length of the ramp the hypotenuse
we see that it has (angle, hypotenuse, opposite)
well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse
a: adjacent
o: opposite
h: hypotenuse
sin α = o/h
cos α= a/h
tan α = o/a
we choose the one with opposite and hypotenuse
sin α = o/h
sin α = 5ft / 23ft
sin α = 5/23
α = sin^-1 ( 5/23)
α = 12.56°
the angle of elevation is 12.56°
where is the figures to solve.
In the given question, there are several data of immense importance. based on these data's the answer to the question can be easily deduced. it is already given that the total utility bill for the month of April in Millers house is $132 and 42% of the bill was paid for gas. remaining amount is paid as electricity charges.
Now
Amount of money paid for gas = 132 * (42/100) dollars
= 5544/100 dollars
= 55.44 dollars
Then
The amount of money paid for electricity = (132 - 55.44) dollars
= 76.56 dollars
So the Millers paid 55.44 dollars for gas and 76.56 dollars for electricity in the month of April.
Its true because scalene doesn't have equal sides
