Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this. You could use your calculator to find out the decimal numbers that are equivalent to the two given fractions. Then check which one of the givens falls between these two numbers. I wouldn't do it that way -- not when you are told that the answer has 56 as the denominator. So ...

The best way to do it is to change the two givens so that they have a denominator of 56

3/7 = 3*8/7*8 = 24 / 56

7*7 / 7*8 = 49 / 46

So you need a number that is between 49 and 24

There is only one 27 / 56

A flag pole has a rope that attaches to the ground from the top of the flagpole the rope create a 30° angle with the ground and

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

$5.77\ \text{m}$

$11.54\ \text{m}$

Step-by-step explanation:

p = Height of pole

h = Length of role

b = Distance between the bottom of the rope and bottom of the pole = 10 m

$\theta$ = Angle between the rope and the ground = $30^{\circ}$

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{p}{b}\\\Rightarrow p=b\tan\theta\\\Rightarrow p=10\tan30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow p=5.77\ \text{m}$

The length of the rope is $5.77\ \text{m}$

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{b}{h}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{b}{\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{10}{\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow h=11.54\ \text{m}$

The length of the pole is $11.54\ \text{m}$
