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.

I hope you guys can see the question, if not just let me know
QveST [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

When translating and reflecting figures, the shape remains the same. So, the side of 2x-4 is corresponding to the side of 8 and they are equal to each other.

To solve, set up an equation like this to find x:

2x-4=8

Then, add 4 to both sides of the equation:

2x=12

The goal is to get x by itself and in order to do that, divide both sides by 2:

x=6

The value of x is 6. I hope this helps! ☺

Calculate the angle of depression, x, if the boat is 750 ft. away from the light house and the light house is 300 ft high. Round
I am Lyosha [343]

Firstly , we need to draw diagram

we are given

opposite =300

adjacent =750

now, we can use tan formula

tan(x)=\frac{300}{750}

now, we can find x

x=tan^{-1}(\frac{300}{750})

we get

x=21.8  degree

so,

angle of depression is 21.8 degree.....Answer

Answer:

Open dot at -1 and shaded to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to solve the inequality are you get |y|>-1

Now you can plot the inequality by placing an open dot on -1 since the inequality is greater than.

Since the inequality is greater than, you also have to shade when all y values are greater than -1 so you would shade to the right.
