A hiker walks along a path and comes to a cliff. He wants to find out how high the cliff is, so he ties a 110 foot cable to a ro

ck at the top, and tosses the rest of the cable over the cliff. When the hiker gets to the bottom, he pulls the cable to length, and measures the angle that it makes with the ground. What function will he use to determine the height of the cliff, and what is the height if the angle is 25º?

Answer:

B. sine; 46.5 feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we use trigonometric ratio.

Assuming the horizontal ground, the cable and the height of the cliff forms a triangle,

The cable is the hypotenuse, the height of the cliff is opposite to the angle formed by the cable and the horizontal ground.

Thus; the most appropriate function is sine

Such that;

Sine θ = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Where; θ = 25°, opposite is the height of the cliff and hypotenuse is the cable, 110 ft

Therefore;

Sine 25° = Opp/ 110

Hence;

Opp = 110 ft × sine 25°

        =  46.488 ft

         = 46.5 ft

Therefore;

The function is Sine, and the height of the cliff is 46.5 ft high

A football is kicked with a speed of 18.0 m/s at an angle of 36.9° to the horizontal.
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

horizontal component=18cos 36.9°≈14.39 m/s≈14.4 m/s

Vertical component=18 sin 36.9°≈10.81 m/s≈10.8 m/s

Find the area of the rhombus.<br> A=<br> square units
Olin [163]
The answer should be 24 square units.

5 is the hypotenuse and the one we need is the base and the height. They gave us the height, which was 6 in total but 3 for the triangle. But we needed to find the base.

In order to do that, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

3^2+b^2=5^2

9+b^2=25

Subtract 9 from both sides

b^2=16

Then square root both sides.

b=4.

Now that we have the base, you can then find the area of the triangle.

BH/2
4*3/2
12/2
6

So one triangle equals to 6. Then multiply that by 4 to find the area of the rhombus. Which would be 24 square units.

8x+5y=35 solve for y no work needed but you can show me the work if you want i will still look at it thank you in advance
solong [7]

Answer:

y=7-(8/5)x

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for y we need to get Y on one side of the equation all by itself.  To start we can move the 8x to the side with the 35 by subtracting 8x on both sides which gets us to 5y=35-8x then we just need to get the 5 detached from the y and we will have solved for Y.  To do this we can divide by 5 on both sides to cancel out the 5 with the Y which leaves us with y=7-(8/5)x

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
