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.

Two diameters of circle P are AB and CD. Find the measure of arc ACD and arc AC when arc AD has a measure of 20 degrees
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Hence measure of arc ACD and arc AC are 340 degrees and 160 degrees respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A Circle with p as center and AB and CD as 2 diameters for a circle.

To Find:

Measure of ACD, and arc AC when arc AD is 20 degrees.

Solution:

<em>As we know that , Diameter is biggest chord which passes through center of circle,</em>

<em>Hence it divides the circle into two equal parts and making center as midpoint of it</em> .

(Refer the attachment)

angle APD=20 degree or arc AD=20 degree.

So AB as diameter ,so  arc DB=160 degree  or BPD=160 degree as A-B-P are

and angle APD and BPC are vertical opposite angles so they are congruent BPC=20 degree

Now,

points A,C,B,D,A makes circle which measures 360 degrees.

to find ACD

measure of ACD=360-(meaure of arc AD or angle APD)

=360-20

=340 degree.

Now arc AC,

as AB is diameter with p as midpoint ,A-P-B

arc APB=180 and arc BC=20 or angle BPC=20 degrees.

For measure of arc AC= measure of arc APB- arc BC

arc AC=180-20 degrees.

arc AC=160 degrees.

Multiply Conjugates Using the Product of Conjugates Pattern
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The product is the difference of squares is $$\left(xy-9\right)\left(xy+9\right)={{x}^2}{{y}^2}-81$$

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation

  • The given expression is (x y-9)(x y+9).
  • We have to multiply the given expression.
  • Square the first term xy. Square the last term 9 .

$$\begin{aligned}&(x y-9)(x y+9)=(x y)^{2}-(9)^{2} \\&(x y-9)(x y+9)=x^{2} y^{2}-81\end{aligned}$$
