Answer:
172 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>The parent cosine function can be transformed and translated. So, from the basic function cos(x) we can obtain function acos(bx+c). In our case, a=3- amplitude, b=10- the period change and c=-pi- the phase shift. So, the parent cosine function is mutiplied with 3 (which gives the amplitude of the function, 3*0.5=1.5). The period of the function is changed, and is 2pi/b=2pi/10=pi/5 and the cos(x) is phase shifted for c/b=-pi/10.</span>
Triangle HAM looks like an isosceles triangle, and we know that in an isosceles triangle 2 of the angles are the same.
so :
180 - 106 = 74 ( sum of the other 2 angles )
74/2 = 37 ( sum of angle HMA / HAM )
angles on a straight line add up to 180.
180-37=143 ( angle x )
since triangle YMH is also an isosceles,
180-37=143
143/2=71.5 ( angle w )
ANSWER
D. 25 feet
EXPLANATION
The height of the wall,h, the taut wire and the distance from the base of the pole to the point on the ground, formed a right triangle.
According to the Pythagoras Theorem, the sum of the length of the squares of the two shorter legs equals the square of the hypotenuse.
Let the hypotenuse ( the length of the ) taught wire be,l.
Then
Check the picture below.
notice, we have three pair of sides, let's add them all up to get the area
