Answer:

20.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem can be solved by applyPythagoreanean theory

a^2+b^2= c^2

19^2 + b^2= 28^2

361 + b^2= 784

b^2= 784-361

= 423

b= √423

= 20.6

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

139 = <Q + <P

= 6y+1 + 4y+8

= 10y+9

139 = 10y+9

Subtract 9 from each side

130 = 10y

Divide each side by 10

13 = y

<P = 4y+8 = 4*13+8 = 60

<Q = 6y+1 = 6*13+1 =79

QPR = We know this makes a straight line with 139

= 180-139 = 41

A rotating light is located 20 feet from a wall. The light completes one rotation every 3 seconds. Find the rate at which the li

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

43.17 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the wall is y.

distance of wall from light is 20 feet.

$tan\theta =\frac{y}{20}$

y = 20 tanθ .... (1)

time period, T = 3 second

$\frac{d\theta}{dt}=\frac{2\pi}{3}$

Differentiate equation (1) with respect to t.

$\frac{dy}{dt}=20sec^{2}\theta\times \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=20sec^{2}10\times \frac{2\pi}{3}$

dy/dt = 20 x 2.16

dy/dt = 43.17 ft/s
