Mathematics
1 answer:
asambeis [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 3.46 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

angle RQS = 60

QS = 2 units

PS = 8 units

To Find:

RS = x = ?

Solution:

In triangle QRS,

tan angle Q = RS / QS

tan 60 = x / 2

root 3 = x / 2

x = 2 root 3

x = 2 x 1.73

Therefore, x = 3.46 units

3. Two cars are parked, 150m apart, and on opposite sides of a building. A camera on the top of the building rotates and can vie
allsm [11]

Answer:

<em>The building is 61.5 m tall</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The image below is a diagram where all the given distances and angles are shown. We have additionally added some variables:

h = height of the building

a, b = internal angles of each triangle

x  = base of each triangle

The angles a and b can be easily found by subtracting the given angles from 90° since they are complementary angles, thus:

a = 90° - 37° = 53°

b = 90° - 42° = 48°

Now we apply the tangent ratio on both triangles separately:

\displaystyle \tan a=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ=\frac{150-x}{h}

\displaystyle \tan 48^\circ=\frac{x}{h}

From the last equation:

x=h.\tan 48^\circ

Substituting into the first equation:

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ=\frac{150-h.\tan 48^\circ}{h}

Operating on the right side:

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ=\frac{150}{h}-\tan 48^\circ

Rearranging:

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ+\tan 48^\circ=\frac{150}{h}

Solving for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac{150}{\tan 53^\circ+\tan 48^\circ}

Calculating:

h = 61.5 m

The building is 61.5 m tall

5 x {3 x [9 - (4 + 1)]} + 20 ÷ 4 x 2 =
adell [148]
To solve a problem like this, we need to start with the innermost parenthesis. Doing that, we get to 4+1, evaluating it giving us 5. This turns our expression into 5 x {3 x [9 - 5]} + 20 ÷ 4 x 2.



Now, the innermost parenthesis is 9-5. Evaluating that gives us 4. Our expression is now 5 x {3 x 4} + 20 ÷ 4 x 2.



Once again, we go to the innermost parenthesis and evaluate whatever is there. This turns our expression into <span>5 x 12 + 20 ÷ 4 x 2.



Now, we can simply use order of operations to compute that the value of the expression is equal to 70. </span>
