No
a^2 + b^2 does not equal c^2
15^2 + 18^2 = 549
22^2 = 484
The two angles given are two angles of a triangle, so the third angle must be:
SPR=180-RSP-PRS
SPR=66°
A and B
A: 8-2 is 6 and then you can distribute
B: 2 is distributed to 5x and -3
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°
