Answer:
69.01 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
The tangent function is useful for problems like this. Let the height of the spire be represented by h. The distance (d) across the plaza from the first surveyor satisfies the relation ...
tan(50°) = (h -1.65)/d
Rearranging to solve for d, we have ...
d = (h -1.65)/tan(50°)
The distance across the plaza from the second surveyor satisfies the relation ...
tan(30°) = (101.65 -h)/d
Rearranging this, we have ...
d = (101.65 -h)/tan(30°)
Equating these expressions for d, we can solve for h.
(h -1.65)/tan(50°) = (101.65 -h)/tan(30°)
h(1/tan(50°) +1/tan(30°)) = 101.65/tan(30°) +1.65/tan(50°)
We can divide by the coefficient of h and simplify to get ...
h = (101.65·tan(50°) +1.65·tan(30°))/(tan(30°) +tan(50°))
h ≈ 69.0148 ≈ 69.01 . . . . meters
The tip of the spire is 69.01 m above the plaza.
Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the area of both triangles inside the bigger triangle and add them together.
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length of the leg in the smallest triangle:
a² + b² = c²
8² + b² = 10²
64 + b² = 100
36 = b²
6 = b
Calculate the area of the smaller triangle:
1/2(<em>b</em>x<em>h</em>)
1/2(6 x 8)
1/2(48)
24
Calculate the area of the bigger triangle:
<em>We know that the longer leg is 10 units because we were able to subtract the length of the smaller triangle's leg from 16.</em>
1/2(<em>b</em>x<em>h</em>)
1/2(10 x 8)
1/2(80)
40
Add both areas to find the area of the largest triangle:
40 + 24 = 64
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
You ran a 10 kilometer race in 56 minutes (good job!). To find how much you ran in 1 minute, you simply divide by 56.
10/56=0.178571428
Therefore, you ran around 0.18 km/minute.
Have a wonderful day! :D
Answer:
1 and 1/6 cups more
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 cup sugar
*1 2/4 cups flour = 6/4 cups flour
*assuming it’s 1 and 2/4 and not 12/4 =3
6/4 - 1/3 = (18-4)/ 12 = 14/ 12 = 1 and 1/6
