A room 9m wide has a span roof which slopes at 34 degrees on one side and 44 degrees on the other. Find the length of the roof s
1 answer:
Answer:
Slope sides are;
5.07 m and 6.39 m
Step-by-step explanation:
I've attached a drawn diagram showing a triangle representing the roof slopes and I have attached it.
From the image attached, the missing angle is θ.
From sum of angles in a triangle,
θ = 180 - (44 + 34)
θ = 102°
Now, a & b represent the slopes of the roof.
Thus, using law of sines which is that;
a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C, we can solve as follows;
a/sin 34 = 9/sin 102
a = (9 × sin 34)/sin 102
a = (9 × 0.5512)/0.9781
a = 5.07 m
b/sin 44 = 9/sin 102
b = (9 × sin 44)/sin 102
b = (9 × 0.6947)/0.9781
b = 6.39 m

NASA launches a rocket at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by
The sea level is represented by h = 0, therefore, to find the corresponding time when h splashes into the ocean we have to solve for t the following equation:
Using the quadratic formula, the solution for our problem is
The rocket splashes after 26.845 seconds.
The maximum of this function happens at the root of the derivative. Differentiating our function, we have
The root is
Then, the maximum height is
1029.99 meters above sea level.
