A pole 5 feet tall is used to support a guy wire for a tower, which runs from the tower to a metal stake in the ground. After pl

acing the pole, Zachary measures the distance from the pole to the stake and from the pole to the tower, as shown in the diagram below. Find the length of the guy wire, to the nearest foot.

The length of the guy's wire to the nearest foot is 89 feet.

The situation forms a right-angled triangle.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
  • A right-angle triangle has one angle of 90 degrees.
  • The sides can be found using the Pythagoras theorem.
  • The angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of the wire.

let's use the smaller triangle to find the angle opposite the tower. Therefore,

tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent

tan ∅ =  5 / 2

∅ = tan⁻¹ 2.5

∅ = 68.1985905136

∅ = 68.20°

Therefore,

cos 68.20 = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 68.20 = 33 / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 33 / cos 68.20

hypotenuse = 88.8606843161

Therefore,

length of wire ≈ 89 feet.

Part A: Solve the equation 4(x + 5) = 9x + 4x − 34, and show your work. (5 points)
nasty-shy [4]

The value of x in the equation 4(x + 5) = 9x + 4x − 34 is 6 after solving and applying properties.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have equation:

4(x + 5) = 9x + 4x − 34  (Given)

4x +20 = 9x + 4x − 34    (Distributive Property)

4x +20 +34 -4x = 9x + 4x − 34 + 34 -4x   (Subtraction Property of Equality)

54 = 9x + 4x − 34 + 34 -4x  (Addition Property of Equality)

54 = 9x  (Combine Like Terms)

x = 54/9   (Division Property of Equality)

x = 6

Thus, the value of x in the equation 4(x + 5) = 9x + 4x − 34 is 6 after solving and applying properties.

Why does sin54°≈0.809≈cos36° in a right triangle?
allsm [11]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

A

54° and 36° are complementary angles in the same right triangle. sin54° is the ratio of the opposite leg and the hypotenuse and cos36° is the ratio of the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the opposite leg of 54° and the adjacent leg of 36° are the same leg in the triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer explains itself.

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. When one of the angles is 90°, the sum of the other two angles is also 90°. That means those two acute angles are <em>complementary</em> (not supplementary).

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
