Answer:
13.86 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be represented by a right angled triangle with a hypotenuse of 16 feet and an angle of 60° between the hypotenuse side and the adjacent side.
The height of the pole is the side opposite to the angle 60°.
The trigonometric function states that for a right angled triangle:
sinθ = opposite / hypotenuse, cosθ = adjacent / hypotenuse, tanθ = opposite/ adjacent
To find the height of the flagpole, we use:
sin(60) = height / 16
height = 16 * sin(60)
height = 13.86 ft
The person with the incorrect reasoning for the height of the flagpole is Charlie when he should have utilized the sin function. Because he incorrectly selected the function.
Answer:
7.7 km
Explanation:
Use cosine rule as here given two sides and one angle.
Cosine rule states:
a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos(A)
While solving, treat a = 7.5 km as to that opposite angle is given of 68°
then b = missing side, c = 5.2 km, A = 68°
Applying rule:
7.5² = b² + 5.2² - 2(b)(5.2) cos(68)
56.25 = b² + 27.04 - 3.8959b
56.25 - 27.04 = b² - 3.8959b
b² - 3.8959b = 29.21
b² - 3.8959b - 29.21 = 0
apply quadratic equation, Here [a = 1, b = - 3.8959, c = -29.21]
As length cannot be negative. Hence the value of b is only 7.7 km
