Two walls of a canyon form the walls of a steady flowing river. From a point on the shorter wall, the angle of elevation to the

top of the opposing wall is 20° and the angle of depression to the bottom of the opposing wall is 320 feet. Using the appropriate right triangle solving strategies, solve for the following: (Do not round intermediate calculated values. Only the final answer should be rounded to one decimal place.)

Answer:

x is approximately 226.3 feet

y is approximately 308.6 feet

z is approximately 226.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the walls are;

The angle of elevation from the top of the shorter wall to the top of the opposing wall, θ₁ = 20°

From the diagram, the angle of depression from the top of the shorter wall to the bottom of the opposing wall, θ₂ = 45°

The distance from the bottom of the shorter wall to the base of the opposing wall, l = 320 feet

x = The height of the shorter wall = l × sin(θ₂)

∴ x = 320 feet × sin(45°) = 320 feet × (√2)/2 = 160·√2 feet ≈ 226.3 feet

∴ x ≈ 226.3 feet

By observation, we have;

y = x + z × tan(θ₁)

Where;

z = l × cos(θ₂)

∴ y = 160·√2 + 320 × cos(45°) × tan(20°) ≈ 308.6

y ≈ 308.6 feet

z =  l × cos(θ₂)

∴  z = 320 × cos(45°) = 160·√2 ≈ 226.3

z ≈ 226.3 feet.

Find the value of the missing angles in the following figures
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

ans: ii) 87° and iii) 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

ii)

y° = 180° - ( 56° + 37°)

missing angle on triangle is alternate angle of y° so are equal and sum of angles of triangle is 180°

iii)

x° + 2x° = 180°

sum of co interior angles is 180°

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Without them, there would have been no United States of America.

The Founding Fathers, a group of predominantly wealthy plantation owners and businessmen, united 13 disparate colonies.

They fought for independence from Britain and penned a series of influential governing documents that steer the country to this day.

All the Founding Fathers, including the first four U.S. presidents, at one point considered themselves British subjects.

But they revolted against the restrictive rule of King George III outlining their grievances in the Declaration of Independence, a powerful call for freedom and equality.

They won a stunning military victory over what was then the world’s preeminent superpower.
