You have to build the triangles.
They are such that:
h is the common height
x is the horizontal distance from the plane to one stone
Beta is the angle between x and the hypotenuse
Then in this triangle: tan(beta) = h / x ......(1)
1 - x is the horizontal distance from the plane to the other stone
alfa is the angle between 1 - x and h
Then, in this triangle: tan (alfa) = h / [1 -x ] ...... (2)
from (1) , x = h / tan(beta)
Substitute this value in (2)
tan(alfa) = h / { [ 1 - h / tan(beta)] } =>
{ [ 1 - h / tan(beta) ] } tan(alfa) = h
[tan(beta) - h] tan(alfa) = h*tan(beta)
tan(beta)tan(alfa) - htan(alfa) = htan(beta)
h [tan(alfa) + tan(beta) ] = tan(beta) tan (alfa)
h = tan(beta)*tan(alfa) / (t an(alfa) + tan(beta) )
Answer:
A 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 x = 1/6
2x/3 = 1/6
2x/3 = 1/2x3
The answer is 1/4
Answer:
I am correct
Step-by-step explanation:
⊕
Move all terms to one sides
3x^2 - 14x - 5 = 0
Split the second term in 3x^2 - 14x - 5 into two terms
3x^2 + x - 15x - 5 = 0
Factor out the common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms;
x(3x + 1) - 5(3x + 1) = 0
Factor out the common term 3x + 1
(3x + 1)(x - 5) = 0
Solve for x;
<u>x = -1/3, 5</u>
