Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu. A vertical pole is supported by two ropes staked to the ground on opposite si

des of the pole. One rope is 8 meters long, and the other is 7 meters. The distance between the stakes is 6 meters, and the height of the pole is meters.

Answer:

6.78 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the set up forms a triangle with length of ropes two sides of the triangle a = 8 m and b = 7 m respectively, the distance between them which is c = 6 m forms the third side of the triangle.

To find the height of the pole, we need to find the angle between any of the ropes and the ground. So, choosing the 8 m long rope side and using the cosine rule,

b² = a² + c² - 2accosФ where Ф is the angle opposite the 7 m long side which is also the angle between the 8 m long side and the ground.

So, making, Ф subject of the formula, we have

b² - (a² + c²) = 2accosФ

cosФ = [b² - (a² + c²)]/2ac

Ф = cos⁻¹{[b² - (a² + c²)]/2ac}

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

Ф = cos⁻¹{[b² - (a² + c²)]/2ac}

Ф = cos⁻¹{[7² - (8² + 6²)]/2(8)(6)}

Ф = cos⁻¹{[49 - (64 + 36)]/96}

Ф = cos⁻¹{[49 - 100]/96}

Ф = cos⁻¹{-51/96}

Ф = cos⁻¹{-0.53125}

Ф = 122.09°

Since the height of the pole, h is a perpendicular bisector to the base of the triangle, and the 8 m long side form a triangle with it and the ground and the 8 m long side being the hypotenuse side of this triangle, we have that

sinФ = h/a where a = 8 m and Ф = 122.09° = the angle between the 8 m long side and the ground.

h = asinФ

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h = asinФ

h = (8 m)sin122.09°

h = 8 m × 0.8472

h = 6.78 m

To find the angle of rotation θ between the previous x and y axes and the new x′ and y′ axes, we use the formula: cotangent of 2
Tamiku [17]

The equation is the given one:

\cot 2\theta=\frac{A-C}{B}

Which is the same as:

\tan 2\theta=\frac{B}{A-C}

And the interval of the angle θ must be (0°,90°) so, 2θ must be (0°,180°).

So the statement is True.

So I kinda forgot how to do this *nervous laughter* um help​
natali 33 [55]

1) value of x =60

2) value of x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use cross products to solve the proportions of x.

1.\,\, \frac{3}{5}= \frac{x}{100}

Solving:

\frac{3}{5}= \frac{x}{100}\\Cross\,\,multiply\,\,:\\5x=3*100\\5x=300\\x=\frac{300}{5}\\x=60

So, value of x =60

2.\,\,\frac{x}{8}=\frac{7.5}{20}

\frac{x}{8}=\frac{7.5}{20} \\20x=7.5*8\\20x=60\\x=\frac{60}{20}\\ x=3

So, value of x = 3
