above ground electric wires and transformers are mounted on utility poles. a support cable, called a guy wire, is sometimes atta

ched to give the pole stability. if the guy wire makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground, what is the measure of the angle formed by the guy wire and the pole? assume that the ground is level.

The angle measure is 30 degrees.

Drawing out an image, the angle the is between the ground at the hypotenuse (the slanted guy wire), it creates a triangle with the utility pole that was already on the side. The angle between the utility pole and the ground is obviously 90 degrees because it is assumed to be at a straight standing stance.
Normally these two given angles would be added and then subtracted from 180 degrees (the law of Sum of Angles in a Triangle).
60 + 90 = 150   ...   180 - 150 = 30
Also, this can be supported by the 30-60-90 Theorem, which states that if a triangle contains 2 of the 3 angles, the other angle will be the missing one.

7.89 greater or less than 7.189<br><br> 6.030 greater less or equal 6.03
NemiM [27]
7.89 is greater than 7.189,  6.03 is equal to 6.030, because that last zero doesn't really change anything it cancels itself out

Juliet has a choice between receiving a monthly salary of $1750 from a company or a base salary of $1600 and a 3% commission on
Westkost [7]

For an amount of sales of $5,000, the two salary choice will be equal

Let the amount of sales be $x

The 3% she will receive will be;

\frac{3}{100}\times x\text{ = 0.03x}

We add this to the base salary and equate to the former monthy salary

We have this as;

\begin{gathered} 1750\text{ =1600 + 0.03x} \\ 1750-1600\text{ = 0.03x} \\ 150\text{ = 0.03x} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{150}{0.03} \\ x\text{ = \$5000} \end{gathered}

A 12-meter ladder leans against a building forming a 30° angle with the building.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

will show you two (2) ways to solve this problem.

A diagram is needed to see what is going on....

 

Without loss of generality (WLOG)

The wall is on the right. The ladder leans against the wall

with a POSITIVE slope, from SW to NE (quadrant 3 to quadrant 1).

The measure from the bottom of the ladder to the wall is 6.

 

 

Option 1:

 

The ladder, ground and wall form a right triangle.

 

The hypotenuse (ladder) is 14 feet.

 

 The bottom of the ladder is 6 feet from the wall,

  so the base of this right triangle is 6 feet.

 

The top of the ladder to the ground represents

the missing leg of the right triangle.

 

The pythagorean theorem applies, which says

 6^2 + h^2 = 14^2   where h is the height

                                 of the top of the ladder to the ground

 

36 + h^2 = 196

 

 h^2 = 196 - 36

 

h^2  = 160

 

h = sqrt(160)

 

   = sqrt(16 * 10)

 

    = sqrt(16)* sqrt(10)

 

    = 4*sqrt(10) <--- exact answer

 

    = 4 * 3.16227766016838....

 

     = 12.64911....

 

    12.65 <--- rounded to 2 digits as directed

 

----------------------------------------------

Option #2: using trig

 

With respect to the angle formed by the bottom of the

ladder with the ground

  cos T = 6/14 = 3/7  

 T = inverse-cosine(3/7) = 64.623006647 degrees

 

 sin(64.623006647) = h/14

 

 h = 14*sin(64.62300647) = 12.6491106 <--- same answer                        

hope this helps
