A 35-foot tall pole is leading towards a building. To stop the pole from leaning further, a 48-foot long cable is secured from t

he top of the pole to a stake in the ground opposite of the building. If the stake is 30 feet from the pole, what angle does the cable make with the pole?
Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

  38.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle solver can give an answer easily. The angle is 38.5°.

__

The law of cosines can be written to solve for an unknown angle C opposite side 'c' and flanked by sides 'a' and 'b'.

  C = arccos((a² +b² -c²)/(2ab))

Here, we have a=35, b=48, c=30, so the angle is ...

  C = arccos((35² +48² -30²)/(2·35·48)) = arccos(2629/3360) ≈ 38.515°

The angle the cable makes with the pole is about 38.5°.

The area of a square is tripled by adding 10 cm to one dimension and 12 cm to the other. Determine the side length of the square
Rina8888 [55]
Area = length *width
A = x²
3x² = (x+10)(x+12)
3x² = x²+10x+12x+120
3x² = x²+22x+120
3x²-3x² = x²+22x+120-3x²
0 = -2x²+22x+120
Factor to solve for x: 
-2(x²-11x-60)
(x+4)(x-15)
x = -4  & x = 15 but we can't have a negative length so we eliminate 4. The length of the square is 15 cm.

Formulate the situation as a system of two linear equations in two variables. Be sure to state clearly the meaning of your x- an
slega [8]

Answer:

1) There were 33 $4,000 investors and 27 $8,000 investors.

2) The solution in x = 4, y = 9.

3) There were 24 nickels and 56 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A lawyer has found 60 investors for a limited partnership to purchase an inner-city apartment building, with each contributing either $4,000 or $8,000. If the partnership raised $348,000, then how many investors contributed $4,000 and how many contributed $8,000?

I am going to say that:

x is the number of investors that contributed 4,000.

y is the number of investors that contributed 8,000.

Building the system:

There are 60 investors. So:

x + y = 60

In all, the partnership raised $348,000. So:

4000x + 8000y = 348000

I am going to simplify by 4000. So:

x + 2y = 87

Solving the system:

The elimination method is a method in which we can transform the system such that one variable can be canceled by addition. So:

1)x + y = 60

2)x + 2y = 87

I am going to multiply 1) by -1. So we have

1)-x - y = -60

2)x + 2y = 87

By addition, the x are going to cancel each other

-x + x - y + 2y = -60 + 87

y = 27

For x:

x + y = 60

x = 60-y = 60-27 = 33

There were 33 $4,000 investors and 27 $8,000 investors.

2) Solve the system by row-reducing the corresponding augmented matrix.

2x + y = 17

x + y = 13

This system has the following augmented matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&17\\1&1&13\end{array}\right]

To help the row reducing, i am going to swap the first with the second line:

L1  L2

So we have:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\2&1&17\end{array}\right]

Now, reducing the first column.

L2 = L2 - 2L1

So we have:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\0&-1&-9\end{array}\right]

Now we do:

L2 = -L2

And the matrix is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\0&1&9\end{array}\right]

Now to reduce the second column, we do:

L1 = L1 - L2

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&4\\0&1&9\end{array}\right].

So the solution is:

x = 4, y = 9.

3) A jar contains 80 nickels and dimes worth $6.80. How many of each kind of coin are in the jar?

I am going to say that x is the number of nickels and y is the number of dimes.

Each nickel is worth 5 cents and each dime is worth 10 cents.

Building the system:

There are 80 coins in all:

x + y = 80

They are worth $6.80. So:

0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80

Solving the system:

1)x + y = 80

2)0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80

I am going to divide 1) by -10, so we can cancel y. So:

1)-0.10x - 0.10y = -8

2)0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80

Adding:

-0.10x + 0.05x - 0.10y + 0.10y = -8 + 6.80

-0.05x = -1.2 *(-100)

5x = 120

x = \frac{120}{5}

x = 24

Also

x + y = 80

y = 80-x = 80-24 = 56

There were 24 nickels and 56 dimes.

How do I complete this equation
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

130°

Step-by-step explanation:

All the interior angles should add up to 540 degrees because it's a pentagon

∠T ≅∠S, so ∠T is also 115°

∠P and ∠R are both 90°

Add everything up and solve for ∠Q:

115 + 115 + 90 + 90 + m∠Q = 540

410 + m∠Q = 540

m∠Q = 130°
