Answer: About 72 feet

The more accurate value is roughly 71.7260397 feet (however, this value isn't fully exact either).

======================================================

Explanation:

Check out the diagram below. It's effectively the same diagram your teacher provided, but I've added points M and N. I've left out any unnecessary lines.

  • M = center of the circle
  • N = location where the cable is anchored to the ground

We're told that "(the length of cable from) E to the ground is 35 feet", so this is the red portion of cable that I've marked this as NE = 35, ie segment NE is 35 feet long. We're also told that NF = 40 feet, which is also shown in red.

The blue portions are chords of the circle. We're given one chord as LE = 80 ft, while the other chord JF is what we want to find out.

-----------------

What we need to find is the radius of this circle. Right away, it's not clear what the radius is; however, we can use the chord LE = 80 to help find it.

It turns out that the chord length c is connected to the radius r and central angle theta like so:

c = 2*r*sin(0.5*theta)

where theta must be in radian mode. The central angle subtends the arc that forms the chord in question.

If we started at point L, and counted the number of spaces to get to E while going clockwise, then we can see that there are 5 spaces

Those five spaces could be written as

  1. The jump from L to A
  2. The jump from A to B
  3. The jump from B to C
  4. The jump from C to D
  5. The jump from D to E

Or you could mark it as such on the diagram for a visual reference. Overall, the circle has been cut into 12 equal slices. So going from L to E, going clockwise, will have us take up 5/12 of the full circle.

There are 2pi radians in a full circle, meaning the central angle LME is (5/12)*2pi = 5pi/6 radians.

-----------------

Plug theta = 5pi/6 and c = 80 into the formula mentioned. Isolate the radius.

c = 2*r*sin(0.5*theta)

80 = 2*r*sin(0.5*5pi/6)

80 = 2*r*sin(5pi/12)

80 = 2*r*0.9659258

80 = 2*0.9659258*r

80 = 1.9318516r

1.9318516r = 80

r = 80/1.931 8516

r = 41.4110483

The radius is approximate. The radius is in feet. Make sure your calculator is in radian mode.

-----------------

Now that we know the radius, we can determine how long chord JF is.

The central angle for chord JF is angle JMF

If we start at J and go to F, along the shorter path, then we've gone 4 spaces. This is 4/12 = 1/3 of the full circle. So the radian measure of angle JMF is (1/3)*2pi = 2pi/3 radians.

So,

c = 2*r*sin(0.5*theta)

c = 2*41.4110483*sin(0.5*2pi/3)

c = 71.7260397

Chord JF is roughly 71.7260397 feet long.

When rounding to the nearest foot, that's about 72 feet.

Need help on 15 and 16 PLEASEE!!!
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Part 15) The next three terms are 5/8,3/4 and 7/8

Part 16) The 37th term is -35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In an <u>Arithmetic Sequence</u> the difference between one term and the next is a constant and this constant is called the common difference (d)

Part 15) Find the next three terms of the arithmetic sequence

\frac{1}{8},\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{8},\frac{1}{2},...

so

a1=1/8\\ a2=1/4\\ a3=3/8\\ a4=1/2\\ a2-a1=1/4-1/8=1/8\\ a3-a2=3/8-1/4=1/8\\ a4=a3=1/2-3/8=1/8

The common difference is equal to

d=1/8

<u><em>Find the next three terms of the arithmetic sequence</em></u>

<u><em>Find a5</em></u>

a5=a4+d ----->a5=1/2+1/8=5/8

<u><em>Find a6</em></u>

a6=a5+d ----->a6=5/8+1/8=3/4

<u><em>Find a7</em></u>

a7=a6+d ----->a7=3/4+1/8=7/8

therefore

The next three terms are

5/8,3/4 and 7/8

Part 16) what is the 37th term of the arithmetic sequence

4.1,3,1.9,0.8,...?

so

a1=4.1\\ a2=3\\ a3=1.9\\ a4=0.8

a2-a1=3-4.1=-1.1\\ a3-a2=1.9-3=-1.1\\ a4=a3=0.8-1.9=-1.1

The common difference is equal to

d=-1.1

We can write an Arithmetic Sequence as a rule

an=a1+d(n-1)

substitute the values

an=4.1-1.1(n-1)

For n=37

substitute

a37=4.1-1.1(37-1)

a37=4.1-1.1(36)

a37=-35.5

The answer is is 26, -44, but i dont understand how to solve it. can you explain?
Anna [14]
║a+9║/7=5
you multiply 7 on both sides which cancel out 7.
now it ║a=9║=35
and now it would be a+9=35 and a+9=-35 then solve it.
35-9 and 9-(-35)= 26 and -44
hope this helped!

N0 If n=143 what is the answer a b or c
den301095 [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, anything multiplied by zero is zero.

If you multiplied 0 by 143, you wouldn't get anything because you're not multiplying with another number that can be multiplied by.
