The two men measure the angle of elevation to the highest point on the rock to be 22.6°. They
1 answer:
Answer:
- 15 m
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Refer to attached picture</em>
- The height = h
- Angles of elevation 22.6° and 38.3°
- Closer distance = d
<u>Use tangent to solve</u>
- tan 22.6° = h/(d + 17) ⇒ h = (d + 17) tan 22.6° ⇒ h = 0.42(d + 17)
- tan 38.3° = h/d ⇒ h = d tan 38.3° ⇒ h = 0.79d
<u>Compare the equations above and find the value of d:</u>
- 0.42(d + 17) = 0.79d
- 0.42d + 7.14 = 0.79d
- 0.79d - 0.42d = 7.14
- 0.37 d = 7.14
- d = 7.14/0.37
- d = 19.3 m
<u>Now find the value of h:</u>
- h = 0.79d
- h = 0.79*19.3
- h = 15

Answer:
No positive value of n
Step-by-step explanation:
we have to find out for how many positive values of n are both
our-digit integers
Let us consider first cube
we get 4digit lowest number is 1000 and it has cube root as 10.
Thus 10 is the least integer which satisfies four digits for cube.
The highest integer is 9999 and it has cube root as 21.54
or 21 the highest integer.
Considering 3^n we get,
3^10 is having 5 digits and also 3^21
Thus there is no positive value of n which satisfy that both n cube and 3 power n are four digits.
Answer:
x ≈ 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the centre to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, thus
The triangle is right with base = x
Applying Pythagoras' identity to the right triangle, then
( x )² + 1.4² = 2.1²
x² + 1.96 = 4.41 ( subtract 1.96 from both sides )
x² = 2.45 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 9.8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
