The height of a radio tower is 400 ​feet, and the ground on one side of the tower slopes upward at an angle of 10degrees. ​(a) H

ow long should a guy wire be if it is to connect to the top of the tower and be secured at a point on the sloped side 190 feet from the base of the​ tower? ​(b) How long should a second guy wire be if it is to connect to the middle of the tower and be secured at a point 190 feet from the base on the flat​ side?

Answer:

  (a)  412 ft

  (b)  276 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the attached diagram.

(a) The internal angle of triangle RBT at B is 90° -10° = 80°. Since we know lengths RB and BT, we can find the length RT using the law of cosines:

  RT² = RB² +BT² -2·RB·BT·cos(80°) = 190² +400² -2·190·400·cos(80°)

  RT² ≈ 169,705.477

  RT ≈ √169,705.477 ≈ 411.95

The guy wire to the hillside should be about 412 feet long.

__

(b) The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the shorter wire length.

  LM² = LB² +MB²

  LM = √(190² +200²) = √76,100

  LM ≈ 275.86

The guy wire to the flat side should be about 276 feet long.

Please help with clear explanation
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

102

Step-by-step explanation:

You can split that shape up into 2 rectangles to make it easier get the area of each rectangle and add them together.

Step 1

Identify the width and height

Step 2

Multiply the sides to get the answer

For example if we split the shape we will have 9,10 and 2,6

9 times 10 is 90

and 2 times 6 is 12

Add the 2 and get 102

Hopefully this helped.

I need help so someone plz give me the steps and answer and graph it so i can understand how to solve these types of problems ag
Eddi Din [679]
Y + 6 = 4/5( x + 3)
y + 6 = 4/5x + (3(4))/5

y + 6 = 4/5x + (12)/5
y + 6 = 4/5x + 12/5
y + 6 (-6) = 4/5x + 12/5 (-6)
y = 4/5x + 12/5 (- 30/5)


y = 4/5x - 3.6 ( y = mx + b formula)

4/5 = 0.8

y = 0.8x - 3.6

x = 1
y = 0.8(1) - 3.6
y = - 2.8

x = 2
y = 0.8(2) - 3.6
y = 1.6 - 3.6
y = -2

x = 3
y = 0.8(3) - 3.6
y = 2.4 - 3.6
y = - 1.2

x = 4
y = 0.8(4) - 3.6
y = 3.2 - 3.6
y =  - 0.4

x = 5
y = 0.8(5) - 3.6
y = 4 - 3.6
y = 0.4

etc.

graph  using the (x,y)

connect the dots

hope this helps

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

  (g◦f)(x) = 2x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

(g◦f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(2x -1) = (2x -1) +2

(g◦f)(x) = 2x +1

__

Substitute f(x) for the argument in the function g(x) and simplify.
