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.

The following data points represent the number of attendees at each of the dance events hosted by Cloy
Viktor [21]
Put the numbers in order.
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27.
Step 2: Find the median.
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27.
Step 3: Place parentheses around the numbers above and below the median.
Not necessary statistically, but it makes Q1 and Q3 easier to spot.
(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, (12, 15, 18, 19, 27).
Step 4: Find Q1 and Q3
Think of Q1 as a median in the lower half of the data and think of Q3 as a median for the upper half of data.
(1, 2, 5, 6, 7),  9, ( 12, 15, 18, 19, 27). Q1 = 5 and Q3 = 18.
Step 5: Subtract Q1 from Q3 to find the interquartile range.
18 – 5 = 13.

If 31,000 citizens died in an automobile accidents in 2015. how many died each hour
stira [4]
Work out the number of hours in  1 year:-

1 year = 365*24 = 8760

So the number dying each hour = 31,000 / 8760 = 3.54
