The top of the Boulder Dam has an angle of elevation of 1.2 radians from a point on the Colorado River. Measuring the angle of e
1 answer:
Answer:
382.925 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution diagram is attached below :
Converting radian measurement to degree :
radian angle * 180/π = degree angle
1.2 * 180/π = 68.755°
0.9 * 180/π = 51.566°
Height of dam is h:
Using trigonometry :
Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent
Tan 68.755° = h / x
h = x Tan 68.755° - - - (1)
Tan 51.566° = h / (155+x)
h = (155+x) tan 51.566° - - - (2)
Equate (1) and (2)
x Tan 68.755 = (155+x) Tan 51.566
x Tan 68.755 = 155tan 51.566 + x tan 51.566
x Tan 68.755 = 195.32311 + x Tan 51.566
x Tan 68.755 - x Tan 51.566 = 195.32311
x(tan 68.755 - tan 51.566) = 195.32311
x * 1.3120110 = 195.32311
1.3120110x = 195.32311
x = 195.32311 / 1.3120110
x = 148.87307
Using :
h = x Tan 68.755
h = 148.87307 * tan(68.755)
h = 382.92539
h = 382.925 feets

Circular pen means you are going to use Area = Pi(r^2).
So 78.5 = pi(r^2). Divide by pi on both sides to get r^2 = 78.5/pi. Take the square root of that to get r or radius = approximately 4.99. If you need an exact answer then use
for the next part because you are not done yet.
Plug whatever R you use into the circumference formula of Circumference = 2(pi)(r).
If you use 4.99, you do 2(pi)(4.99) which is approximately 31.35. If you use the exact answer, you do 2(pi)(
) which gives you approximately 31.41.
Either way you'll need about 31 meters of chicken wire but the 31.40796 or ~31.41 is closer to the exact answer.
