A small tree is beginning to lean. The owner decides to set up a tension wire to straighten the tree’s growth. The owner chooses

a wire which is 5 m in length to straighten the tree. The tree is 4 m high. How far must the owner secure the bottom of the wire from the base of the tree (assuming he attaches the tension wire to the top of the tree)?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle trig problem. The height of the tree is the height of the triangle, and the length of the wire is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using Pythagorean's Theorem, we can find the length of the base, which is how far he must secure the bottom of the wire from the base of the tree.

5^2=4^2+x^2 and

25=16+x^2 and

9=x^2 so

x = 3 m

In the given figure poq is a line. if x=30 then find qor and ros​
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

2y + 3y + x = 180 \\ 5y + 30 = 180  \\ 5y = 180 - 30 \\ 5y = 150 \\ y = 30

QOR =3Y

=3×30

=90°

ROS = 2Y

=2×30

=60°

Can someone please help me?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The angle between the two sides of the right triangle is aproximately 31.003º.

Step-by-step explanation:

From image attached on question we infer that we need to find the angle between sides of lengths 6 (adjacent leg) and 7 (hypotenuse) in the right triangle. The angle can be found by means of this trigonometric ratio:

\cos \alpha = \frac{6}{7}

\alpha = \cos^{-1} \frac{6}{7}

\alpha \approx 31.003^{\circ}

The angle between the two sides of the right triangle is aproximately 31.003º.

In a 30% off sale, the price of an item is reduced by £27.
Serggg [28]

Answer: the original cost of the item is 90$

Step-by-step explanation:

30% off of the item = 27$

27 dollar is 30% of the item

thus 27 = 0.30X

0.30X = 27

time both side by 10

3X = 270

270/3 = 90
