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.

A 2-liter bottle is filed completely with water from a faucet in 10seconds. How much water is filled into the bottle each second
andreev551 [17]
In 10 seconds, in fills = 2 L
so, in 1 sec, it will fill = 2/10 L = 1/5 L = 0.2 L or 200 mL

In short, Your Answer would be 0.2 Liter or 200 milliliter

Hope this helps!

If 3, x, y, -9 are in A.P, find the values of x and y.​
Serggg [28]

Answer:

  • x = -1
  • y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference (d) can be found using the first and 4th terms:

  a1 = 3

  a4 = a1 +d(4 -1)

  -9 = 3 +3d . . . . . simplify

  -3 = 1 + d . . . . . . divide by 3

  -4 = d . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

Then ...

  x = a1 + d = 3 -4 = -1

  y = x + d = -1 -4 = -5

The values of x and y are -1 and -5, respectively.
