Answer:

Solution given:

angle : 80°

hypotenuse:y=?

opposite=21

we have

Sin 80= $\frac{opposite} {hypotenuse}=\frac{21}{y}$

doing crisscrossed multiplication

we get

y= $\frac{21}{Sin 80°}$

y=21.32

Answer:

about 44.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write relations for the height of the rail as a function of initial length and expanded length, but the solution cannot be found algebraically. A graphical solution or iterative solution is possible.

Referring to the figure in the second attachment, we can write a relation between the angle value α and the height of the circular arc as ...

h = c·tan(α) . . . . . . where c = half the initial rail length

Then the length of the expanded rail is ...

s = r(2α) = (c/sin(2α)(2α) . . . . . . where s = half the expanded rail length

Rearranging this last equation, we have ...

sin(2α)/(2α) = c/s

It is this equation that must be solved iteratively. We find the solution to be ...

α ≈ 0.0168538794049 radians

So, the height of the circular arc is ...

h = 2640.5·tan(0.0168538794049) ≈ 44.4984550191 . . . feet

The rail will bow upward by about 44.5 feet.

Additional comments

Note that s and c in the diagram are half the lengths of the arc and the chord, respectively. The ratio of half-lengths is the same as the ratio of full lengths: c/s = 2640/2640.5 = 5280/5281.

We don't know the precise shape the arc will take, but we suspect is is not a circular arc. It seems likely to be a catenary, or something similar.

We used Newton's method iteration to refine the estimate of the angle from that shown on the graph. The iterator used is x' = x -f(x)/f'(x), where x' is the next guess based on the previous guess of x. Only a few iterations are required obtain an angle value to full calculator precision.

\textit{because the bases are the same, the exponents must also be the same}
\\\\\\
x+3=-3\implies \boxed{x=-6}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
3^x=4^{2x}\implies log(3^x)=log(4^{2x})\implies xlog(3)=(2x)log(4)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{x}{2x}=\cfrac{log(4)}{log(3)}\implies \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{log(4)}{log(3)}\implies \cfrac{log(3)}{log(4)}=x\implies \boxed{0.79248125\approx x}$
