Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so attached is a diagram of the triangle we are solving. Because buildings are almost always perpendicular (90 degrees) to the ground, it is a right triangle.
You can now use the pythagorean theorem with the sides to fill in the other side:
a^2+ b^2= c^2
5^2 + b^2= 22^2
25+b^2=484
b^2= 459
b=21.42
Okay, so for slope you need 2 points- think of the wall as your y axis, and the ground as your x axis. The ladder is the line.
Your first point is (-5,0) because the bottom of the ladder is touching the ground (no y movement) and the bottom of the ladder is 5 feet from the base of the wall and ground (origin).
The second point is going to be (0, 21.42) because that is the height of the wall where the ladder is touching (x is at origin). The 21.42 is positive, because you can't have negative height.
Okay so far? :)
(-5,0) and (0, 21.42)
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
slope= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope= (21.42-0)/ (0-(-5)) ---- becomes positive
slope= 4.284
(Note: slope could also be negative if you put the ladder on the other side of the wall- 5 would become positive... google "positive vs negative slopes" for more info)
Hopefully that answers your question!
Answer:
x = 11.4 m
y = 21 m
man's shadow = 9.6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
measure of third angle must be 50 degrees (180 - (40 + 90))
you can take tan50° = 15/y and 'y' will equal approx. 21
to find 'x' you can take tan21° = (21-x) /25 and 21 - x = 25 · tan21°
21 - x = 9.6
-x = -11.4
x = 11.4
man's shadow is the difference of 21 and 11.4, which is 9.6
Answer:
5 min
Step-by-step explanation:
time taken=distance required to travel/speed of train
total distance train have to cover to just left the tunnel is (lenght of tunnel+length of train) =2km+250m
=2250m
speed of train is 27km/hr
multiply 5/18 to convert in m/s
i.e, (5/18)×27=7.5m/s
now time taken =2250m/(7.5m/s)
=300s
and,300s =5min
Answer:
1 + x meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
A square has 4 equal sides so each side will have a length equal to the square root of the area.
Side length = √(1 + 2x + x^2)
= √(1 + x)(1 + x)
= 1 + x.
The sine has a range -1 to +1 so y goes from 1+2(-1) to 1+2(1) = -1 to 3
Range: -1 ≤ y ≤ 3
