You're standing on the ground 7777 meters away from the bottom of a tall tower. The tower itself is 346346 meters tall. What is

the angle elevation as you look up to the very top of the tower? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

88.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, visualize. Assuming that the tower is at a perfectly 90° angle to the ground, you have a right triangle. We will call this triangle ΔABC where A is where you are, B is the top of the tower, and C is the base of the tower. Now we know the following:

∠A = ?

∠B = ?

∠C =  90

a = 346346

b = 7777

c = ?

Note: Triangles are labeled with three pairs of letters: a, b and c and A, B and C. The lower case letters, a, b and c represent the sides, and the upper case letters are the angles that are directly opposite of those sides. (see attached reference)

c is easy, c is the hypotenuse, so you can use the following equation to find the hypotenuse:

a² + b² = c²

Rearranged:

c = ± \sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }

Substitute a and b:

c = ±\sqrt{346346^{2} +7777^{2} }

Comes out to ~346433.3 meters.

Now if we use the Law of Sines:

\frac{a}{sinA} = \frac{b}{sinB} = \frac{c}{sinC}

We can use c and a, since we're trying to find what angle A is, so the ratio is set up as:

\frac{346346}{sinA} = \frac{346433.3}{sinC}

Well we know that C = 90, and so sin(90) in degrees (as opposed to radians) is 1. So then the set of equations is now:

\frac{346346}{sinA} = \frac{346433.3}{1}

Cross Multiply to get rid of the fractions:

346346 = 346433.3 * sin(A)

Divide:

\frac{346346}{346433.3} = sin(A)

Using a calculator, if you take the arcsin of that fraction, you will get what angle A is supposed to be:

arcsin( \frac{346346}{346433.3} ) = ∠A = 88.7°

You and a friend are rolling two 6-sided number cubes and placing bets on the sum of the outcome. is it better to place a bet on
Zina [86]
To solve for this, we need to figure out the sum of any two numbers on the dice that will become a pair factor for the listed answers.
What I mean by that is that we need to find the probability between how many two numbers will sum up to the answer.

3 can be 1 + 2, that's it. 3 has a probability of (1).
4 has a sum of 1 + 3, and 2 + 2, that's it. 4 has a probability of (2).
7 has a sum of 1 + 6, 2 + 5, and 3 + 4. 7 has a probability of (3).
11 has a sum of 5 + 6, that's it. 11 has a probability of (1).

The numbers in parenthesis are the probabilities.
7 has the highest number, so 7 has the highest probability.

Your answer is: 7.

I hope this helps!

Limit of x^2-81/x+9<br> As x goes toward -9
Semmy [17]
Hello,

Use the factoration

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)

Then,

x^2 - 81 = x^2 - 9^2

x^2 - 9^2 = ( x - 9).(x + 9)

Then,

Lim (x^2- 81) /(x+9)

= Lim (x -9)(x+9)/(x+9)

Simplity x + 9

Lim (x -9)

Now replace x = -9

Lim ( -9 -9)

Lim -18 = -18
_______________

The second method without using factorization would be to calculate the limit by the hospital rule.

Lim f(x)/g(x) = lim f(x)'/g(x)'

Where,

f(x)' and g(x)' are the derivates.

Let f(x) = x^2 -81

f(x)' = 2x + 0
f(x)' = 2x

Let g(x) = x +9

g(x)' = 1 + 0
g(x)' = 1

Then the Lim stay:

Lim (x^2 -81)/(x+9) = Lim 2x /1

Now replace x = -9

Lim 2×-9 = Lim -18

= -18

eimsori [14]

Answer:

132,600 possibilities

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one chosen can be 1 of 52

The 2nd one chosen is 1 out 51

And the 3rd chosen is 1 out 50

So...

52 x 51 x 50 = 132,600

A cone with diameter 20 cm and a height of 20 cm. Find the volume of the cone rounded to the nearest tenth.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

2094.4 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone =πr²h/3

Where

r = radius = Diameter/2

Diameter = 20cm, radius = 20cm/2 = 10cm

Height = 20cm

Volume of a cone = π × 10² × 20/3

Volume of a cone = 2094.3951 cm³

Approximately to the nearest tenth = 2094.4 cm³

Therefore , the volume of a cone = 2094.4 cm³

What is the length of the diagonal of a cube of 4 inches
BartSMP [9]

First find the length of the diagonal of a square of side 4 inches:


d^2 = 4^2 + 4^2 = 2*4^2 = 32. Then the diagonal of the cube has length


sqrt( 32 + 4^2) = sqrt(32+16) = sqrt(48) = 4sqrt(3).
