At an angle of elevation 610

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vadim26 [7]2 years ago

Answer:

The height of the cliff CD is approximately 539.76 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The first angle of elevation with which the captain sees the person on the cliff = 61°

The second angle of elevation with which the captain sees the person on the cliff after moving 92 m closer to the cliff = 69°

The angle made by the adjacent supplementary angle to the second angle of elevation = 180° - 69° = 111°

∴ Whereby, the rays from the first and second angle of elevation and the distance the ship moves closer to the cliff forms an imaginary triangle, we have;

The angle in the imaginary triangle subtended by the distance the ship moves closer to the cliff = 180° - 111° - 61° = 8°

By sine rule, we have;

AB/(sin(a)) = BC/(sin(c))

Which gives;

92/(sin(8°)) = BC/(sin(61°))

BC = (sin(61°)) × 92/(sin(8°)) ≈ 578.165 m

BC ≈ 578.165 m

The height CD = BC × sin(69°)

∴  The height of the cliff CD = 578.165 m × sin(69°) ≈ 539.76 m.

The height of the cliff CD ≈ 539.76 m.

What is the graph of 3x + 5y = –15?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Graph is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = –15

To graph the equation , we need to get y alone

3x + 5y = –15

Subtract 3x on both sides

5y = -3x–15

Divide whole equation by 5

y=-\frac{3x}{5} -3

To graph this equation , we need to make a table

Plug in some number for x  and find out y

x                y=-\frac{3x}{5} -3

0                -3

-5                0

Two points on the graph is (-5,0)  and (0,-3)

Graph is option A

Hello my name is lay lay today I am going to ask people this question if you answer this question you are my social studies part
ankoles [38]

Answer:

ok so regrouping is when the top number of a equation is like for EXAMPLE 3 minus 6 ok so 3 is lower than six so the number on the left side you cross that out and you add it to the number that was on top which would make it 13 in this case so 13 minus six is 7 and that’s regrouping

Find the height of a right circular cone if the slant height is 4 units and the radius is 2 units
k0ka [10]

The slant height of the right circular cone will be  l=2\sqrt5}

<h3>What is slant height of cone? </h3>

The formula for the slant height of the cone is given as:

l^2=r^2+h^2

Here we have

r=2 units

h=4 units

By putting the values we will get

l=\sqrt{4^2+2^2

l=\sqrt{16+4

l=\sqrt{20}

l=2\sqrt{5}

Hence the slant height of the right circular cone will be  l=2\sqrt5}
