A construction crew wants to hoist a heavy beam so that it is standing up straight. ey tie a rope to the beam, secure the base,

and pull the rope through a pulley to raise one end of the beam from the ground. When the beam makes an angle of 408 with the ground, the top of the beam is 8 ft above the ground. e construction site has some telephone wires crossing it. e workers are concerned that the beam may hit the wires. When the beam makes an angle of 608 with the ground, the wires are 2 ft above the top of the beam. Will the beam clear the wires on its way to standing up straight? Explain.

I don’t know the work but the correct answers for this problem are....

The length of the beam is 12.45ft, and the height of wires is 12.78ft.

Interesting problem ...

The key is to realize that the wires have some distance to the ground, that does not change.

The pole does change. But the vertical height of the pole plus the distance from the pole to the wires is the distance ground to the wires all the time. In other words, for any angle one has:

D = L * sin(alpha) + d, where D is the distance wires-ground, L is the length of the pole, alpha is the angle, and 'd' is the distance from the top of the (inclined) pole to the wires:

L*sin(40) + 8 = L*sin(60) + 2, so one can get the length of the pole:

L = (8-2)/(sin(60) - sin(40)) = 6/0.2232 = 26.88 ft (be careful to have the calculator in degrees not rad)

So the pole is 26.88 ft long!

If the wires are higher than 26.88 ft, no problem. if they are below, the concerns are justified and it won't pass!

Your statement does not mention the distance between the wires and the ground. Do you have it?

A pyramid has a square base with side 9f lengths s. the height of the pyramid is equal to 1/2 of the lenght of a side on the bas
poizon [28]

Answer:

The formula would be A = 1/3(9)(9)(4.5) for an answer of 121.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, start with the volume of a pyramid formula and inpout the known values.

A = 1/3lwh

A = 1/3(9)(9)(4.5)

A = 121.5

a pool charges $4each visit or you can buy a membership. write and solve an inequality to find out many times a person should us
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of visits to a pool = n

Charges of n visits = Number of visits × Charges per visit

                               = n × $4

                               = 4n

Let the membership amount of the pool = $m

So the inequality showing that a membership is less expensive than paying each visit to the pool will be

4n > m

Now we divide the inequality by 4

n > \frac{m}{4}

Therefore, membership of the pool will be less expensive until number of visits to the pool is one fourth of the membership.

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

median

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to sort the numbers from largest to smallest (you could go the other way as well).

60 52 48 44 20 16 12

The median is the middle number 44 in this case. The median has 3 numbers on its left and 3 on its right (in this case). 44 has 60 52 48 or its left and 20 16 and 12 on its right.

The mean is the average. We'll call it the new average

The mean is 60 + 52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = 252

The new mean is 252 / 7 = 36

=====================

The old median is the average between the middle 2 numbers (before you added 60 you had 6 numbers)

52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = the average of 44 + 20 which 64/2 = 32

The old mean was (52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12)/6 = 32.

=======================

The median increased from 44 to 32 = 12

The mean went from 32 to 36 which is 4

Answer: the median increased more

Let's see how good you are at math answer this question (if you think your the best)
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

for the perimeter we just need the distances from point to point

P1(1,1)       (x1,y1)

P2(6,2)    (x2,y2)

P3(5,4)   (x3,y3)

P4(2,5)   (x4,y4)

from P1 to P2 is

dist = sqrt [ (x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2 ]

dist = \sqrt{26}

from P2 to P3 is

dist = sqrt [ (x3-x2)^2 +(y3-y2)^2 ]

dist = \sqrt{5}

from P3 to P4

dist = sqrt [ (x4-x3)^2 +(y4-y3)^2 ]

dist = \sqrt{10}

dist = sqrt [ (x1-x4)^2 +(y1-y4)^2 ]

dist = \sqrt{17}

Perimeter is exactly = \sqrt{26} + \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{17}

To find the area we have to use  the non-right triangle formula of

1/2*a*b*sin(x)

if we knew the angle at P1 then we could find the area of the triangle that is made up by P1, P2 and P4

P1(1,1)       (x1,y1)

P2(6,2)    (x2,y2)

P3(5,4)   (x3,y3)

P4(2,5)   (x4,y4)

let's use that fancy slope formula to find the angle

tan(Ф) = abs [ (m1-m2)/(1+m1.m2) ]

m1 = P1P2

m1 = y2-y1 / x2-x1

m1 = 1/5 or .2

m2 = P1P4

m2 = y4-y1 / x4-x1

m2 = 4

now plug into the formula for the angle of P1

tan(Ф) = abs [(0.2 - 5) / (1+0.2*5)]

Ф = arcTan(2.4)

Ф=-67.380135°

the negative signs just means going from P1P4 to P1P2 is -67.380135° we can take it to be positive as well

now plug that angle into our area formula for a non-right triangle

1/2*a*b*sin(x)

area of triangle P1,P2,P4 =  1/2*\sqrt{26}*\sqrt{17}*sin(67.380135°)

area P1,P2,P4 = 9.703290477 units^{2}

now lets find that other triangle up at the top formed by P2, P3, P4

let's find the slope of the two legs we know the lengths of, of the part that looks a little like a "hat" on top of our 1st triangle

P1(1,1)       (x1,y1)

P2(6,2)    (x2,y2)

P3(5,4)   (x3,y3)

P4(2,5)   (x4,y4)

m3= P4P3

m3=y3-y4 / x3-x4

m3 = -1/3

m4 = P3P2

m4 = y2-y3 / x2-x3

m4 = -2/1

m4 = -2

now find the angle between them

tan(Ф) = abs [ (m3-m4)/(1+m3.m4) ]

Ф = arcTan(1)

Ф = 45°

this is the other angle on the 180 line so we have 180-45 =135 as the angle inside our triangle at P3, although, sin 135 and 45 are going to be the same.

now plug that info into our special area of a non-right triangle

area of P2P3P4 = 1/2*\sqrt{5}*\sqrt{10}*sin(135)

area of P2P3P4 = 2.5

2.5 + 9.703290477 = 12.20329048  units^{2}

area =12.20329048  units^{2}

A city is located at a height of 138m above sea level while a town is at a height of 51m below sea level represent the altitude
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The difference between city and town is 189m.

Step-by-step explanation:

A city is 138m above sea level and town is 51m below see level.

When finding the differences, you have to take the highest value and subtract the lowest value :

138 - ( - 51) = 138 + 51 = 189m
