Answer: The guage block height is 4.98 m

The base of the right triangle that is formed is 7.3784 m

The last angle in the triangle is 56 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Redraw the triangle formed in the picture and use H for the hypotenuse, O for the block height, and A for the base. Now we can use trig (SOHCAHTOA) to find the answaers.

Using sine, we can first find the gauge block height, O (Opposite). Given the Hypotenuse (H) is 8.9 m, we can use the definition of the sine of an angle to find the height, O.

Sine(34) = Opposite/Hypotenuse (O/H), or O = H*Sine(34)

O = (8.9)*(0.5592)

O = 4.98 m, the height of the gauge block,

The base of the triangle, A, can be determined with cosine.

Cosine(34) = A/O, or A = Cosine(34)*O

A = (0.82904)*(8.9)

A = 7.3784 m

The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

180 = X + 34 + 90

X = 56 degrees

(a) Derive an equation of the line passing through the points A(0, 545) and B(4, 726). (Let t be the independent variable and y

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line is $y=45.25t+545$

Step-by-step explanation:

The general for of a line is:

$y=mt+n$ (1)

where:

$m$ is the slope of the line and $m$ is the intercept with the axis of the dependent variable, $y$ in this case.

In order to obtain the value of the slope ( $m$ ) we can use the corresponding slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_1 }{t_2-t_1}$ (2)

where $t_1, t_2, y_1$ and $y_2$ are the corresponding coordinates of the given points. In this case:

$t_1=0\\t_2=4\\y_1=545\\y_2=726\\$

Substituting these values in equation (2) we obtain:

$m=\frac{726-545}{4-0}=\frac{181}{4}=45.25\\m=45.25$

Hence, the line equation is now:

$y=45.25t+n$ (3)

Now to obtain the value of $n$ you can follow two options:

You can substitute one of your points, $A$ or $B$ , in equation (3). In this way, you will obtain an equation where the variable is $n$

Note that for this question, it is easier to select point A because of having the independent variable equals to zero $t=0$ . Hence, substituting point A in equation (3):

$45.25*0+n=545\\n=545$

Therefore, the line equation is: $y=45.25t+545$

The second option to find $n$ is to think of the meaning of the intercept. The intercept of a line is defined as the point in which the line crosses the axis of the dependent variable, which also means that the value of the independent variable for this point is zero. From this, we could have automatically said that $n$ is equal to $545$ .
