X/5 = 7; 35 points (just adding more words so i can submit this)
Answer:
it is scalene type of triangle because no sides are equal
Answer:
y = (x-0)^2 + (-5) ⇒ y = x^2 - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The general vertex form of the parabola y = a(x - h)² + k
Where (h,k) is the coordinates of the vertex.
As shown at the graph the vertex of the parabola is the point (0, -5)
So,
y = a(x-0) + (-5)
y = ax^2 - 5
To find substitute with another point from the graph like (1,-4)
So, at x = 1 ⇒ y = -4
-4 = a * 1^2 - 5
a = -4 + 5 = 1
<u>So, the equation of the given parabola is ⇒ y = x^2 - 5</u>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A right angle triangle is formed.
The length of the guy wire represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
The height of the antenna represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
The distance, h from base of the antenna to the point on the ground to which the antenna is attached represents the adjacent side of the triangle.
To determine h, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
Therefore,
41² = 32.8² + h²
1681 = 1075.84 + h²
h² = 1681 - 1075.84 = 605.16
h = √605.16
h = 24.6 m
To determine the angle θ that the wire makes with the ground, we would apply the the cosine trigonometric ratio.
Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,
Cos θ = 24.6/41 = 0.6
θ = Cos^-1(0.6)
θ = 53.1°
