Answer:

  38.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given all three side lengths of the relevant triangle, so the Law of Cosines can be used to find any desired angle. If we call the desired angle C, then that law tells you ...

  C = arccos((a² +b² -c²)/(2ab))

where a and b are the triangle side lengths adjacent to the angle of interest, and c is the side opposite. Here, 'a' and 'b' are the pole and cable lengths, and 'c' is the distance of the stake from the pole.

  C = arccos((35² +48² -30²)/(2·35·48)) = arccos(2629/3360)

  C ≈ 38.515°

The cable makes an angle of about 38.5° with the pole.

A ladder leaning against a wall makes a 60° angle with the ground. The base of the ladder is 3 m from the building. How high abo
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The distance is 5.20m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the height of the ladder

To get this, we need to understand that we have a right triangle, with the base of the triangle as 3 m, the angle at the downward part is 60, and we want to get the height of the triangle

The angle here faces the height we want to calculate

This height is known as the opposite

What we have is the adjacent

Now, the trigonometric identity that relates the opposite and the adjacent is the tan

The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite to the adjacent

Mathematically;

tan 60 = h/3

h = 3 tan 60

h = 5.20 m

The ladder is at a height of 5.20 m above the ground

Is this a function? Answer only if you know if you put links I will report
evablogger [386]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell if something is a function by checking to see if a vertical line will intersect at one spot more than once. If it does, it is not a function.

What is the solution to the system of linear equations?​
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The solution to a system of linear equations is the point at which the lines representing the linear equations intersect. Two lines in the x y xy xy -plane can intersect once, never intersect, or completely overlap.
