Help plzz! Trig Question..

Mathematics
1 answer:
Darina [25.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw this out. The angle of depression represents the angle above the line from the bird and the apple, as shown. A line can be drawn from the bird to the apple as well as from the apple's height to the bird's height. A third line can be drawn connecting the line that goes straight up from the apple to the bird, forming a right triangle. We know that this is a right triangle because the purely vertical line from the apple's height to the bird's height is perpendicular to the horizontal line from the bird to the line right above the apple.

Next, we know that we are given an angle and the side adjacent to it. We want to find the length of the side opposite to the angle because that will give us the height from the bird to the apple, and adding that to the height from the apple to the ground will give us the height of the tree. In sohcahtoa, one equation that symbolizes this is tan x = opposite/adjacent, so

tan(55°) = opposite/adjacent

= opposite/4.5

multiply both sides by 4.5 to isolate opposite

tan(55°) * 4.5 = opposite

≈ 6.43

Adding this to the height of 1.5 meters from the apple to the ground, we get the height of the tree to be approximately 7.93, rounding up to 8 meters

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line
wolverine [178]

Answer:

y=3/2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

y-4= -⅔(x-6)

y-4=-⅔x+4

y=-⅔x+4+4

(equation of line 1) y= -⅔x+8 gradient= -⅔

(line 2)gradient=3/2

note* the gradients of perpendicular lines multiplied result to -1

gradient=<u>y²-y²</u>

<u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>x²-x¹

<u>3</u><u> </u>=<u>y</u><u>+</u><u>2</u>

<u> </u><u> </u>2. x+2

multiply both sides by 2(x+2)to remove the denominators

3(x+2)=2(y+2)

3x+6=2y+4

3x+6-4=2y

3x+2=2y

divide all sides by 2

3/2x+1=y

y=3/2x+1

5 ports Use absolute value to express the distance between -12 and -15 on the number line. |-12 - (-15) = -27​
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Distance = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-12 and -15

Required

Solve the difference

The question you posted included the solution. However, the solution is incorrect;

The absolute difference is represented as:

Difference = \vert a - b \vert

In this case:

a = -12

b = -15

So, the distance is calculated as:

Distance = |-12 - (-15)|

Open bracket

Distance = |-12 +15|

Distance = |3|

Distance = 3

A garden is designed in the shape of a rhombus formed from 4 identical 30°-60°-90° triangles. The shorter distance across the mi
g100num [7]
legs of the triangles

Each triangle 30-60-90 is:

         one leg: 15 ft => short diagonal = 2 * 15ft = 30ft

         other leg, x:

         tan(30) = 15 / x => x = 15 ft / tan(30) = 25.98 ft

=> long diagonal = 2 * 25.98ft = 51.96 ft

side of the rhoumbus =  hypotenuse of one triangle

side of the rhombus = √ [ (15)^2 + (25.98)^2 ] = √(900) = 30 ft

Area of the rhombus:

4 * area of one triangle = 4 [base*height/2] = 4*15*25.98/2 = 779.43 ft^2

The shortest distance accross the garden is equal to the side of the rhombus = 30 ft
