Answer: 9.97
==============================================
Explanation:
y = distance from the base of the pole to the closest person
y+200 = total horizontal distance
-------------
Focus on the smaller right triangle.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(26) = 55/y
y*tan(26) = 55
y = 55/tan(26)
y = 112.76671 approximately
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
--------------
Now move to the larger right triangle
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(x) = 55/(y+200)
tan(x) = 55/(112.76671+200)
tan(x) = 55/312.76671
tan(x) = 0.17585
x = arctan(0.17585) same as
x = 9.97349
x = 9.97 degrees approximately
Answer:
45° and 135°
Step-by-step explanation:
let one angle be "x" and the other be "y"
Angles which are supplementary total to 180°. This can be represented with the equation:
x + y = 180
If angle "x" is a third of angle "y", the situation is represented with this equation:
(1/3)x = y
Since fractions are difficult to work with, multiply the whole equation by 3.
(1/3)x = y <= X 3
x = 3y
Use the equations x+y=180 and x=3y.
You can substitute x=3y into x+y=180.
x + y = 180
(3y) + y = 180 <=combine like terms
4y = 180 <=isolate y by dividing both sides by 4
y = 45
Substitute y=45 itno the equation x+y=180 to find x.
x + y = 180
x + 45 = 180 <=isolate x by subtracting 45 from both sides
x = 135
Therefore the angles are 45° and 135°.
Answer:
The triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
The coordinates of triangle ABC are
A (0, 2), B (2, 5), and C (−1, 7)
we know that
An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal internal angles
The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to
step 1
Find the distance AB
substitute in the formula
step 2
Find the distance BC
substitute in the formula
step 3
Find the distance AC
substitute in the formula
step 4
Compare the length sides
therefore
Is an isosceles triangle
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
substitute
-----> is true
therefore
Is an isosceles right triangle

First, note that x is undefined at 5. / x ≠ 5
Second, replace the inequality sign with an equal sign so that we can solve it like a normal equation. / Your problem should look like:
= 0
Third, multiply both sides by x - 5. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 5 = 0
Forth, add 5 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 5
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x =
Sixth, from the values of x above, we have these 3 intervals to test:
x <
< x < 5
x > 5
Seventh, pick a test point for each interval.
1. For the interval x <
:
Let's pick x - 0. Then,
> 0
After simplifying, we get 1 > 0 which is true.
Keep this interval.
2. For the interval
< x < 5:
Let's pick x = 2. Then,
> 0
After simplifying, we get -0.3333 > 0, which is false.
Drop this interval.
3. For the interval x > 5:
Let's pick x = 6. Then,
> 0
After simplifying, we get 13 > 0, which is ture.
Keep this interval.
Eighth, therefore, x <
and x > 5
Answer: x <
and x > 5
