Answer:

22.4

Step-by-step explanation:

using altitude theorem, the height of the triangle is 20

let y = height

10/y = y/40

y² = 400

y = $\sqrt{400}$ or 20

Now we can us the Pythagorean Theorem to find 'x':

10² + 20² = x²

100 + 400 = x²

x= $\sqrt{500}$ ≈ 22.4

Outside temperature over a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the temperature varies between 73 and 9

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: After about 9.03 hours the temperature first reach 82 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sinusoidal function is given by :

$y=A\sin[\omega(x-\alpha)]+C$

where, A = amplitude; $\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{period}$ , α= phase shift on the Y-axis and C = midline.

As per given,

Average daily temperature= $C=\dfrac{73+97}{2}=85$ [midline is average of upper and lower limit.]

A= 97-85 = 12

Phase shift: $\alpha=10$

Period = 24 hours;

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{24}=\dfrac{\pi}{12}$

Substitute all values in sinusoidal function, we get

$y=12\sin[\dfrac{\pi}{12}(x-10)]+85$

Put y= 82, we get

$82=12\sin[\dfrac{\pi}{12}(x-10)]+85\\\\\Rightarrow\ -3= 12\sin[\dfrac{\pi}{12}(x-10)]\\\\=\dfrac{-1}{4}= \sin[\dfrac{\pi}{12}(x-10)]\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{\pi}{12}(x-10)=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{-1}{4})\\\\\Rightarrow\ x-10=\dfrac{12}{\pi}(\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{-1}{4}))\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12}{\pi}(\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{-1}{4}))+10\\\Rightarrow\ x\approx9.03$
