You have to build the triangles.
They are such that:
h is the common height
x is the horizontal distance from the plane to one stone
Beta is the angle between x and the hypotenuse
Then in this triangle: tan(beta) = h / x ......(1)
1 - x is the horizontal distance from the plane to the other stone
alfa is the angle between 1 - x and h
Then, in this triangle: tan (alfa) = h / [1 -x ] ...... (2)
from (1) , x = h / tan(beta)
Substitute this value in (2)
tan(alfa) = h / { [ 1 - h / tan(beta)] } =>
{ [ 1 - h / tan(beta) ] } tan(alfa) = h
[tan(beta) - h] tan(alfa) = h*tan(beta)
tan(beta)tan(alfa) - htan(alfa) = htan(beta)
h [tan(alfa) + tan(beta) ] = tan(beta) tan (alfa)
h = tan(beta)*tan(alfa) / (t an(alfa) + tan(beta) )
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 (4a + 4b) + 5a > -35
-8a -8b + 5a > -35
-3a -8b > -35
for a
-3a > -35 + 8b
a < -35 + 8b ÷ -3
a < 35 - 8b ÷ 3
for b
-3a - 8b > -35
-8b > -35 + 3a
b < -35 + 3a ÷ -8
b < 35 - 3a ÷ 8
The answer is 253 square feet
It is 50 thousands because 5 times 10 = 50.
