Answer:

  • 52.35 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Refer to picture.</em>

Let the distance to men are x and y and the distance between them is d.

The angle of depreciation is 27° and 30°, hence top angle of the triangle is 63° or 60°.

<u>Find the distance from the tower to men:</u>

  • x = 20 tan 63° = 39.25 m
  • y = 20 tan 60° = 34.64 m

<u>The distance between men is:</u>

  • d = \sqrt{x^2+y^2} =\sqrt{39.25^2+34.64^2} = 52.35m

<em>Note, all numbers are rounded</em>

Rewrite the product as a sum or difference.<br><br> 20cos(36t) cos(6t)
tiny-mole [99]

The applicable identity is ...

... cos(a)cos(b) = (1/2)(cos(a+b) +cos(a-b))

Let a=36t, b=6t and substitute this into your expression. Then you have ...

... 20cos(36t)cos(6t) = 20·(1/2)(cos(36t+6t) + cos(36t-6t))

... = 10(cos(42t) + cos(30t))

... = 10cos(42t) +10cos(30t)

Solve this system of equations by using the elimination method -3x+y=6 -3x+y=12
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

None

Step-by-step explanation:

We can eliminate the x's by add the 2 equations :

2y = 18

Divide both sides by 2 :

y = 9

Substitute this value into equation 1 to solve for x :

-3x + (9) = 6

Subtract 9 from both sides :

-3x = -3

Divide both sides by -3 :

x = 1

Substitute these values into equation 2 to check :

-3(1) + 6 = 12 ❌❌

So it has no solution
