Two Identical Buildings stand parallel on opposite sides of a road. Find the angle of depression from A to B

Mathematics

Answer:

8.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

The above problem can be represented by a right angled triangle with height of 7 m, hypotenuse = AB.

The base of the triangle is gotten by finding the diagonal of the road. That is using Pythagoras theorem:

base² = 43² + 15²

base² = 2074

base = 45.54 m

Using trigonometric function to find angle A:

tan(A) = base / height

tan(A) = 45.54 / 7

tan(A) = 6.506

A = tan⁻¹ (6.506)

A = 81.3°

Angle of depression = 90° - A = 90 - 81.3

Angle of depression = = 8.7°

 (x-8) ^ 2 = 121
 
(x-8) = + / - root (121)
 x = 8 +/- root (121)
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = 8 + root (121)
 
x2 = 8 - root (121)
 2a ^ 2 = 8a-6
 2a ^ 2-8a + 6 = 0
 a ^ 2-4a + 3 = 0
 (a-1) (a-3) = 0
 The solutions are:
 
a1 = 1
 
a2 = 3
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 36 = 4
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 36-4 = 0
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 32 = 0
 (x + 4) (x + 8) = 0
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = -8
 
x2 = -4
 x ^ 2-x + 30 = 0
 
x = (- b +/- root (b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c)) / 2 * a
 x = (- (- 1) +/- root ((- 1) ^ 2 - 4 * (1) * (30))) / 2 * (1)
 x = (1 +/- root (1 - 120))) / 2
 x = (1 +/- root (-119))) / 2
 x = (1 +/- root (119) * i)) / 2
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = (1 + root (119) * i)) / 2
 
x2 = (1 - root (119) * i)) / 2

Maggie needs to spend at least six hours each week practicing the piano. She has already practiced 3
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

t ≥ 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take time for practicing the piano to be t

The number of hours to practice per week should be at least 6 hours

This is written as t ≥ 6

She already practiced 3 hours this week, thus the remaining hours to practice should be

t ≥ 3

The minimum remaining hours to practice for the remaining 2 days should be

t=3

If these hours are evenly divided, then in a single day she should practice

for t ≥ 1.5
