A rectangle's length to width ratio is 9:4. If its length is 14 cm more than its width, what is its area?

A golfer hits an errant tee shot that lands in the rough. A marker in the center of the fairway is 150 yards from the center of

Gwar [14]

$\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution}}}$

<h3>Given :-</h3>

A marker in the center of the fairway is 150 yards away from the centre of the green
While standing on the marker and facing the green, the golfer turns 100° towards his ball
Then he peces off 30 yards to his ball

We have to find the distance between the golf ball and the center of the green .

<h3>Let's Begin :-</h3>

Let assume that the distance between the golf ball and central of green is x

Here, 

Distance between marker and centre of green is 150 yards
That is, Height = 150 yards
For facing the green , The golfer turns 100° towards his ball
That is, Angle = 100°
The golfer peces off 30 yards to his ball
That is, Base = 30 yards

According to the law of cosine :-

$\bold{\red{ a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2} - 2ABcos}}{\bold{\red{\theta}}}$

Here, a = perpendicular height
b = base
c = hypotenuse
cos theta = Angle of cosine

So, For Hypotenuse law of cosine will be :-

$\sf{ c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2ABcos}{\sf{\theta}}$

Subsitute the required values,

$\sf{ x^{2} = (150)^{2} + (30)^{2} - 2(150)(30)cos}{\sf{100°}}$

$\sf{ x^{2} = 22500 + 900 - 900cos}{\sf{\times{\dfrac{5π}{9}}}}$

$\sf{ x^{2} = 22500 + 900 - 900( - 0.174)}$

$\sf{ x^{2} = 22500 + 900 + 156.6}$

$\sf{ x^{2} = 23556.6}$

$\bold{ x = 153.48\: yards }$

Hence, The distance between the ball and the center of green is 153.48 or 153.5 yards

A ladder is placed 30 inches from a wall. It touches the wall at a height of 50 inches from the ground.

tankabanditka [31]

To find the length of the ladder, you need to do Pythagorean theorem.
50^2 + 30^2 = x^2
2500 + 900 = x^2
x^2 =3400
x= square root of 3400
58.31 OR 10 root34

To find the angle:
tan theta = opposite/adjacent
50/30 = 5/3
theta = tan inverse of 5/3
= 59.04
