Answer: 54.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

If the spotlight is mounted 7.3 meters high, its height will be 7.3meters.

If A is 10.2 meters from the base of the pole, the base of the pole to the parking area will be 10.2meters

The angle of the depression will be facing the base directly therefore, the base will be the opposite of the triangle formed and the height of 7.3m will be the adjacent.

To get the depression angle, we use the trigonometry identity SOH, CAH, TOA

Since we have opposite and adjacent, we will use "TOA" which means

Tan theta = Opposite/Adjacent

Opposite = 10.2m Adjacent = 7.3

Tan theta = 10.2/7.3

Tan theta = 1.39

theta = arctan 1.39

Theta = 54.4°

The angle of depression that the spotlight should aim at is 54.4°

The isosceles triangle shown has a base of 4 y + 2 and a perimeter of 6 y + 12 .  Which expression represents the length of 1 o
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The expression that represents the length of 1 of the triangle's legs is y + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two sides equal which are the triangle legs. Let b represent the base of the triangle and l represent one of the triangle's legs. Then, the perimeter, P is given by

P = l + l + b

i.e P = 2l + b

From the question, P = 6y + 12 and b = 4y +2

∴ 6y + 12 = 2l + 4y + 2

6y - 4y + 12 - 2 = 2l

2y + 10 = 2l

∴ 2l = 2y + 10

Then,

l = (2y+10)/2

l = y + 5

Hence, the expression that represents the length of 1 of the triangle's legs is y + 5

An English teacher has 6 short stories, 4 novels, and 23 poems to choose from. How many ways can he assign one of each to his cl
Karolina [17]

Answer:

552

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of permutation which can be solved by rule of fundamental counting principle.

This principle states that if there "m" ways of doing one thing and "n" ways of doing other. Then no. of ways in which both the things can be done together is "m*n". This can be extended for m, n, p,r, s things and so on.

example: if there are 5 shirts and 3 trousers then number of ways in which the shirts and trousers can be worn is 5*3 = 15 ways.

_____________________________________________

The given problem is on similar concepts.

here  6 short stories, 4 novels, and 23 poems have to be assigned to his class.

Thus it can be done in 6*4*23 = 552 ways.
