The height of the ceiling is 162.31 meters

The situation will form a right angle triangle.

<h3>Right angle triangle:</h3>

Right triangle has one of its angles as 90 degree. Therefore, the sides can be found using trigonometric ratios

The triangle formed, the theodolite distance from the spotlight is the  adjacent side. Therefore,

tan 62.7 = opposite / adjacent

tan 62.7 = x / 83

cross multiply

x = 83 × tan 62.7

x = 160.809554025 m

Therefore, the height of the ceiling form the ground is as follows:

  • 160.809554025 + 1.5 = 162.309554025 m

If the area of the rectangle shown below is given by the expression 3x2 + 7x – 6,
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² + 7x - 6 = 3x² + 9x - 2x - 2*3

                  = 3x (x + 3) - 2(x +3)

                  = (3x - 2)(x + 3)

Area of the rectangle = 3x² + 7x - 6

length * width = 3x² + 7x - 6

length * (x + 3) = (3x -2)(x +3)

          length = \frac{(3x-2)(x+3)}{(x+3)}

          length = (3x - 2)

The ratio of the measures of the three angles in a triangle is 2:9:4. Find the measures of the angles. ​
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Let the three angles be 2x,9x & 4x

By the problem,2x+9x+4x=180

15x=180

x=180/15

x=12

there fore the angles are

2x= 2*12=24°

9x=108°

4x=48°

1. An observer 80 ft above the surface of the water measures an angle of depression of 0.7o to a distant ship. How many miles is
dybincka [34]

Answer:

1. The distance of the ship from the base of the lighthouse is approximately 1.24 miles

2. a)The horizontal distance the plane must start descending is approximately  190.81 km

b) The angle the plane's path will make with the horizontal is approximately 18.835°

3. The depth of the submarine is approximately 107.51 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The

1. From the question, we have;

The height of the observer above the water = 80 ft.

The angle of depression of the ship from the observer, θ = 0.7°

Let the position of the observer be 'O', let the location of the ship be 'S', let the point directly above the ship at the level of the observer be 'H', we have;

tan(\theta) = \dfrac{Opposite \ leg \ length}{Adjacent \ leg \ length} = \dfrac{HS}{OH}

The \ horizontal \ distance \ of \ the \ ship, OH =   \dfrac{HS}{tan(\theta) }

HS = The height of the observer = 80 ft.

Therefore, we get;

The \ horizontal \ distance \ of \ the \ ship, OH =   \dfrac{80 \, ft.}{tan(0.7^{\circ}) } \approx 6,547.763 \ ft.

The distance of the ship from the base of the lighthouse ≈ 6,547.763 ft. ≈ 1.24 miles

2. The elevation of the plane, h = 10 km

The angle of the planes path with the ground, θ = 3°

Similar to question (1) above, the horizontal distance the plane must start descending, d = t/(tan(θ))

∴ d = 10 km/(tan(3°)) ≈ 190.81 km

The horizontal distance the plane must start descending, d = 190.81 km

b) If the pilot start descending 300 km from the airport, the angle the plane's path will make with the horizontal, θ, will be given as follows;

From trigonometry, we have;

tan(\theta) = \dfrac{Opposite \ leg \ length}{Adjacent \ leg \ length}

Where the opposite leg length = The elevation of the plane = 10 km

The adjacent leg length = The horizontal distance from the airport = 300 km

\therefore tan(\theta) = \dfrac{10 \, km}{300 \, km} = \dfrac{1}{3}

\theta =  arctan\left(\dfrac{1}{3} \right ) \approx 18.835^{\circ}

The angle the plane's path will make with the horizontal, θ ≈ 18.835°

3. The angle at which the submarine makes the deep dive, θ = 21°

The distance the submarine travels along the inclined downward path, R = 300 m

By trigonometric ratios, we have;

The depth, of the submarine, 'd' is given as follows;

si(\theta)= \dfrac{Opposite \ leg \ length}{Hypotenuse \ length} = \dfrac{d}{R}

∴ d = R × sin(θ)

d = 300 m × sin(21°) ≈ 107.51 m

The depth of the submarine ≈ 107.51 m
