Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding angles are congruent.
That is ∠ D and ∠ B are corresponding angles and congruent, thus
4x - 20 = 2x + 30 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
2x - 20 = 30 ( add 20 to both sides )
2x = 50 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 25
To solve the question we shall use the formula for the range given by:
Horizontal range, R=[v²sin 2θ]/g
plugging in our values we get:
500=[160²×sin 2θ]/10
5000=160²×sin 2θ
0.1953=sin 2θ
thus:
arcsin 0.1953=2θ
11.263=2θ
hence:
θ=5.6315°~5.63
