Mathematics

Answer:

The height above sea level at <em>B</em> is approximately 1,604.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The given length of the mountain railway, AB = 864 m

The angle at which the railway rises to the horizontal, θ = 120°

The elevation of the train above sea level at <em>A</em>, h₁ = 856 m

The height above sea level of the train when it reaches <em>B</em>, h₂, is found as follows;

Change in height across the railway, Δh = AB × sin(θ)

∴ Δh = 864 m × sin(120°) ≈ 748.25 m

Δh = h₂ - h₁

h₂ = Δh + h₁

∴ h₂ ≈ 856 m + 748.25 m = 1,604.25 m

The height above sea level of the train when it reaches <em>B</em> ≈ 1,604.25 m

WXY is a right triangle. <br><br> A. True. <br> B. False.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

B. False


Step-by-step explanation:

According to pythagorean theorem, for this to be a right triangle, the sum of  square of the length of the two legs must equal square of the length of the hypotenuse (longest side).

So  (\sqrt{34} )^{2}  should equal  (\sqrt{18} )^{2}+(\sqrt{18} )^{2}

  • <em>We also know that  (\sqrt{a} )^{2}=(\sqrt{a})(\sqrt{a})=a</em>

Hence,  (\sqrt{18} )^{2}+(\sqrt{18} )^{2}=18+18=36  , and

(\sqrt{34} )^{2}=34

They ARE NOT EQUAL, so the triangle is NOT a right triangle.
