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°

Help PLEASE!! which number is the BIGGEST negative: -3/2 or -4/5
Vilka [71]

Answer:

-3/2 would be a farther negative number than -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3/2 would be in decimal would be -1.5, while -4/5 would be -0.8

making the -3/2 a bigger negative number, technically a smaller number as its farther in the negative if thats what youre looking for

Hope this helped, brainliest?

For the given table of values for a polynomial function, where must the zeros of the function lie?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A. Between 3.0 and 3.5 and between 4.0 and 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeroes of a function occur whenever a value of x returns zero. To predict where the zeroes lie, determine the interval(s) where the function crosses the x-axis. This occurs when either f(x) goes from a negative value to a positive value or vice versa.

From x=3.0 and x=3.5, the y-values go from 4.0 (positive) to -0.2 (negative), respectively. Therefore, there must be a zero in this interval.

From x=4.0 and x=4.5, the y-values go from -0.8 (negative) to 0.1 (positive), respectively. Therefore, there must also be a zero in this interval.

Thus, the zeros of this function occur between 3.0 and 3.5 and between 4.0 and 4.5, leading to answer choice A.

Help please i need this done by tmr !
Nataly [62]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

sum the 3 angles and equate to 180

5x + 7 + 4x + 2 + 90 = 180 , that is

9x + 99 = 180 ( subtract 99 from both sides )

9x = 81 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 9

Then

∠ ACB = 4x + 2 = 4(9) + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38°

∠ BAC = 5x + 7 = 5(9) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52°

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding angles are congruent , so

∠ B = ∠ E

6x + 10 = 70 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

6x = 60 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 10
