Answer:

The angle is 56.44º

Step-by-step explanation:

We propose the exercise in terms of the rectangular triangle that forms between the tree, the ground and the wire because the exercise propose that the tree meets the ground at a right angle. For this we can see the attached figure.

We need to find the angle between the cable and the ground, and in the figure it is β , if we have the length of the cable and the height of the tree we can say that :

Sen \beta =\frac{10}{12}

Then β is:

\beta =ArcSen(\frac{10}{12} )

\beta =56.44^

Answer:

The answer would be 8.3*10^7.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the beginning factor in scientific notation (in this case it is 8.3) must be no less than one, and no more than ten. Once we figured that out, we simply count the number of decimal points from 3 to the final 0. Try it yourself. You will discover that the resulting answer is 7 decimal movements. Now, since we are using scientific notation, we will want to multiply by ten to the power of the number of decimal movements (in this case it is 7.) And that's all! The answer is 8.3*10^7. I hope this helped (:

Euclid and Apollonius stand on two seperate portions which Apollonius 12 meters due worth and 9 meters due East of Euclid. Meanw
Alexeev081 [22]
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.

Euclid is placed at the origin at (0,0).
Apollonius is 12 m north and 9 m east of Euclid, so its coordinate is (9,12).
Pythagoras is at the arbitrary position (x,y) so that is is at distance d from Euclid and 2d from Apollonius.

From the distance formula, obtain
d² = x² + y²                            (1)
(2d)² = (x-9)² + (y-12)²
or
 4d² = (x-9)² + (y-12)²             (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
4(x² + y²) = x² - 18x + 81 + y² - 24y + 144
3x² + 3y² + 18x + 24y = 225
Divide by 3.
x² + 6x + y² + 8y = 75
Create perfect squares.
(x+3)² - 9 + (y+4)² - 16 = 75
(x+3)² + (y+4)² = 10²

Answer:
The path of Pythagoras is a circle of radius 10 m, centered at (-3, -4).
