Find the length of side AB Give answer to 3 significant figures

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rina8888 [55]3 years ago

Answer:

AB = 8.857 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are given a <em>right angle</em> \triangle ABC in which we have the following things:

\angle A = 90 ^\circ\\\angle C = 41 ^\circ\\\text{Side }BC = 13.5 cm

Side <em>BC </em>is the hypotenuse here.

We have to find the side <em>AB</em>.

Trigonometric functions can be helpful to find the value of Side AB here.

Calculating \angle B:

Sum of all the angles in \triangle ABC is 180^\circ.

\Rightarrow \angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ\\\Rightarrow 90^\circ + \angle B + 41^\circ = 180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle B = 49^\circ

We know that <em>cosine </em>of an angle is:

cos \theta = \dfrac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\\Rightarrow cos B = \dfrac{AB}{BC}\\\Rightarrow cos 49^\circ = \dfrac{AB}{13.5}\\\Rightarrow AB = 13.5 \times 0.656\\\Rightarrow AB = 8.857 cm

So, side AB = 8.857 cm .

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

so the answer will be 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An oil tanker can be emptied by the main pump in 5 hours.

An auxilary pump can empty the tanker in 14 hours.

If the main pump is started at 7pm, when should the auxilary pump be started

so that the tanker is emptied by 11pm?

:

Let t = no. of hrs to run the Aux pump

:

The main pump will run 4 hr (7 - 11 pm)

:

Let the completed job = 1; (an empty Tanker)

:

The shared work equation

4%2F5 + t%2F14 = 1

Multiply equation by 70 to get rid of the equation, results:

14(4) + 5t = 70

56 + 5t = 70

5t = 70 - 56

5t = 14

t = 14%2F5

t = 2.8 hrs to run the aux pump

:

2.8 hr = 2 + .8(60) = 2 hrs 48 min

:

Subtract 2:48 from 11:00 = 8:12 PM start the aux pump

;

;

Check solution

4/5 + 2.8/14 =

.8 + .2 = 1
