Answer: 36.3m

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can draw two triangle rectangles, where the distance between the man and the base of the tower is one of the cathetus, the adjacent one, the height will be the opposite cathetus.

The triangle where the elevation angle is 58° is associated with the height of the tower without the aerial

The other triangle, where the elevation angle is 63° is associated with the height of the tower with the aerial.

Then we can calculate those two heights, then compute the difference, and the difference will be equal to the height of the aerial.

In both cases we want to calculate the opposite cathetus, then we should use the relation:

Tan(θ) = (Op. cath)/(Adj. cath)

The height without the aerial is h1, let's find it:

Tan(58°) = h1/100m

Tan(58°)*100m = h1 = 160m.

The height with the aerial is h2, let's find it:

Tan(63°) = h2/100m

Tan(63°)*100m = h2 = 196.3m

Then the height of the aerial will be:

h2 - h1 =  196.3m -  160m = 36.3m

A planet has a circular orbit around a star. It is a distance of 65,000,000 km from the centre of the star. It orbits at an aver
guapka [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Orbit = 2*pi * r

r = 65000000 km

Orbit = 65000000 * 2 * 3.14

Orbit = 406 200 000             km

d = 406 200 000

s = speed = 65000 km / hr

t = time = d / s

t = 406,000,000 / 65000

t = 6280 hours.

1 day = 24 hours.

t = 6280 / 24 = 261.67 days

Help me, its trigonometry college
prohojiy [21]

4) (a) For these problems, you should take time to familiarize yourself with common fractions that appear on the unit circle.  \frac{\sqrt{3}} {3} does not appear in the unit circle unless you take the quotient 1/2 divided by sqrt(3)/2 which gives you 1/sqrt(3) which is the same as sqrt(3)/3.  So our numerator is 1/2 and our denominator is sqrt(3)/2.

And remember tangent is just sin/cos.  So what degree has sinx as 1/2 and and cosx as sqrt(3)/2?  Well, 30 degrees does, but 30 degrees is not within the range we are given.  That means they are looking for a sinx that gives us -1/2 and a cosx that gives us -sqrt(3)/2 and that is 210 degrees.

And 210 degrees in radians is 7pi/6.

I hoped that made sense.

(b) This is a lot easier. What angle gives us a cos x of -sqrt(3)/2?  According to the unit circle, 150 degrees and 210 degrees does.  They usually want these in radians, so the answer is 5pi/6 and 7pi/6, respectively.

5) What quadrant is radian measure 5 in?

Well 2pi or roughly 6.28 is a full circle. And 5 is slightly less than 6.28, so it is probably in quadrant IV.

But to be sure let's change 5 radian to degrees:

5 * 180/pi = 900/pi = 286.48 degrees

286.48 degrees is definitely in Q4, so we are correct.
