Answer:

The length of wooden board = 9.4648 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wooden board makes a Right triangle with the building in which we have wooden board as hypotenuse, building as opposite side, and ground as adjacent side, the angle of elevation is 65 degrees.

Given adjacent side = 4 feet and elevation angle = 65 degrees.

We can use cosine formula in right triangle as follows:-

Cos(65°) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

cos(65°) = 4 / Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 4 / cos(65°)

Hypotenuse = 9.464806333 feet.

Hence, the length of wooden board = 9.4648 feet.

The sum of a whole number and twice its square is 21. Find the whole number
I am Lyosha [343]
SOLUTION:

Let whole number = x

x + 2x^2 = 21

2x^2 + x - 21 = 0

2x^2 + 7x - 6x - 21 = 0

x ( 2x + 7 ) - 3 ( 2x + 7 ) = 0

( 2x + 7 ) ( x - 3 ) = 0


2x + 7 = 0

2x = - 7

x = - 7 / 2

OR

x - 3 = 0

x = 3


ANSWER:

Therefore, as 3 is a whole number while - 7 / 2 isn't a whole number, the whole number must be 3.

Hope this helps! :)
