From the top of a tower, the angle of depression to a flower on the ground

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ronch [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

25.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right triangle with the right angle at the foot of the tower. The interior angle of the triangle at the top is the complement of the angle of depression. 90 - 74 = 16; it measures 16°. The leg at the bottom has length x. The height of the tower is the vertical leg and is 90 ft. We are looking for x.

For the 16° angle, x is the opposite leg, and 90 ft is the adjacent leg.

tan A = opp/adj

tan 16° = x/(90 ft)

x = 90 ft * tan 16°

x = 25.8 ft

Answer: 25.8 ft

The radius AND height of a cylinder are each doubled. What is the new volume?
Naya [18.7K]

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = \pi hr^2

Let h\mapsto 2h and r\mapsto 2r

The new volume becomes

V = \pi(2h)(2r)^2 = \pi\cdot 2h \cdot 4r^2 = 8\pi hr^2

So, the new volume is 8 times the original volume. In fact, volume scales linearly with the height and quadratically with the radius.

A line has a slope of -5 and passes through the point (2, 2). What is the equation for this line?
koban [17]
To determine the equation of the line, we use the point slope form equation for this problem. It is expressed as:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

We substitute the given values in the problem to the equation.

y - 2 = -5(x - 2)
y = -5x +10+2
y = -5x +12
