Answer:
x = 10·cos(θ) -4·cot(θ)
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently, we are to assume that the horizontal lines are parallel to each other.
The relevant trig relations are ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
If the junction point in the middle of AB is labeled X, then we have ...
sin(θ) = 4/BX ⇒ BX = 4/sin(θ)
cos(θ) = x/XA ⇒ XA = x/cos(θ)
Then ...
BX +XA = AB = 10
Substituting for BX and XA using the above relations, we get
4/sin(θ) +x/cos(θ) = 10
Solving for x gives ...
x = (10 -4/sin(θ))·cos(θ)
x = 10·cos(θ) -4·cot(θ) . . . . . simplify
_____
We used the identity ...
cot(θ) = cos(θ)/sin(θ)
Let the speed of the current be y and the speed of Micah's sailing speed be x. Then 4.48/(x + y) = 0.32
4.48/(x - y) = 0.56
0.32x + 0.32y = 4.48 . . . (1)
0.56x - 0.56y = 4.48 . . . (2)
(1) x 7 => 2.24x + 2.24y = 31.36 . . . (3)
(2) x 4 => 2.24x - 2.24y = 17.92 . . . (4)
(3) - (4) => 4.48y = 13.44
y = 3
From (1), 0.32x + 0.32(3) = 4.48
0.32x = 4.48 - 0.96 = 3.52
x = 3.52/0.32 = 11
Therefore, the speed of the current is 3 miles per hour. Answer is 3 miles per hour
Answer:
x = 7.5
y = 14
m<1 = 87°
m<7 = 93°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
m<2 = (14x - 12),
m<6 = (5y + 23),
m<8 = (8x + 27)
m<2 + m<8 = 180° (consecutive exterior angles are supplementary)
(14x - 12) + (8x + 27) = 180 (substitution)
Solve for x
14x - 12 + 8x + 27 = 180
Collect like terms
22x + 15 = 180
Subtract 15 from each side
22x = 180 - 15
22x = 165
Divide both sides by 22
x = 7.5
m<2 = m<6 (corresponding angles are congruent)
(14x - 12) = (5y + 23) (substitution)
Plug in the value of x
14(7.5) - 12 = 5y + 23
105 - 12 = 5y + 23
93 = 5y + 23
Subtract 23 from each side
93 - 23 = 5y
70 = 5y
Divide both sides by 5
14 = y
y = 14
✅m<1 = m<8 (alternate exterior angles are congruent)
m<1 = (8x + 27) (substitution)
Plug in the value of x
m<1 = 8(7.5) + 27 = 87°
m<7 = m<2 (alternate exterior angles are congruent)
m<7 = (14x - 12) (substitution)
Plug in the value of x
m<7 = 14(7.5) - 12 = 93°
Answer:
b = 6√15
Step-by-step explanation:
6² + b² = 24²
36 + b² = 576
b² = 540
b = √540
b = √9 · √60
b = 3 · √60
b = 3 · √4 · √15
b = 6 √15
