From the side of a hill wai-kin looks up at the top of a nearby vertical cliff at an angle of elevation of 36 degrees and looks

down at the bottom of the cliff at an angle of depression of 47 degrees. Wai-kin and the cliff are 490 meters apart.

Answer:

881.5 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal plane at the level of wai-kin's eyes divide the height of the cliff into two parts. Let the upper part be represented by x and the lower part be represented by y.

The height of the cliff = x + y

Applying the appropriate trigonometry functions.

To determine the value of x;

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 36^{o} = \frac{x}{490}

⇒ x = 490 x Tan 36^{o}

      = 490 x 0.7265

     = 355.985

x = 356 meters

To determine the value of y;

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 47^{o} = \frac{y}{490}

⇒ y = 490 x Tan 47^{o}

      = 490 x 1.0724

      = 525.476

y = 525.5 meters

Therefore,

The height of the cliff = x + y

                                   = 355.985 + 525.476

                                   = 881.461

The height of the cliff is 881.5 meters.

Hallar la ecuación de la recta que pasa por el punto P(-3,-1) y por el punto de intersección de las rectas 2x − y = 9 y 3x − 7y
adell [148]

Answer:

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of equation of a line is y = mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

Get the coordinate of the point of interception of the line 2x - y = 9 and 3x - 7y = 19

Make y the subject of the formula in both expressions

For 2x  - y = 9

- y = 9- 2x

y = 2x - 9

Similarly for 3x - 7y = 19

-7y = 19 - 3x

7y = 3x - 19

y = 3/7 x - 19/7

Equating both expressions

2x - 9 = 3/7 x - 19/7

Multiply through ny 7

14x - 63 = 3x - 19

14x - 3x = -19 + 63

11x = 44

x = 44/11

x = 4

Since y =2x - 9

y = 2(4) - 9

y = 8-9

y = -1

Hence the coordinate of intersection is at (4, -1)

Get the equation of the line passing through (-3, -1) and (4, -1)

Slope m = -1+1/4+3

m = 0/7

m = 0

Get the intercept

Substitute m = 0 and (-3, -1) into y = mx+b

-1 = 0(-3) + b

-1 = b

b = -1

Get the required equation

Recall that y = mx + b

y = 0x + (-1)

y = -1

Hence the required equation is y = -1

Help me solve this equation and show work <br><br> 11d + 17b = 95 <br> d + b = 7
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

{d,b}={4,3}

Step-by-step explanation:

[1]    11d + 17b = 95

  [2]    d + b = 7

Graphic Representation of the Equations :

   17b + 11d = 95        b + d = 7  

 

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable  b

 [2]    b = -d + 7

// Plug this in for variable  b  in equation [1]

  [1]    11d + 17•(-d +7) = 95

  [1]    -6d = -24

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  d

  [1]    6d = 24

  [1]    d = 4

// By now we know this much :

   d = 4

   b = -d+7

// Use the  d  value to solve for  b

   b = -(4)+7 = 3

Solution :

{d,b} = {4,3}
