Answer:
The answer is 120 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the field (A) is:
A = w · l (w - width, l - length)
It is known:
A = 12,000 ft²
l = w - 20
So, let's replace this in the formula for the area of the field:
12,000 = w · (w - 20)
12,000 = w² - 20
⇒ w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0
This is quadratic equation. Based on the quadratic formula:
ax² + bx + c = 0 ⇒
In the equation w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0, a = 1, b = -20, c = -12000
Thus:
So, width w can be either
or
Since, the width cannot be a negative number, the width of the field is 120 feet.
Answer:
6 * 10 * 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2) 162°, 72°, 108°
3) 144°, 54°, 126°
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Multiply the equation by 2sin(θ) to get an equation that looks like ...
sin(θ) = <some numerical expression>
Use your knowledge of the sines of special angles to find two angles that have this sine value. (The attached table along with the relations discussed below will get you there.)
____
2, 3) You need to review the meaning of "supplement".
It is true that ...
sin(θ) = sin(θ+360°),
but it is also true that ...
sin(θ) = sin(180°-θ) . . . . the supplement of the angle
This latter relation is the one applicable to this question.
__
Similarly, it is true that ...
cos(θ) = -cos(θ+180°),
but it is also true that ...
cos(θ) = -cos(180°-θ) . . . . the supplement of the angle
As above, it is this latter relation that applies to problems 2 and 3.
Answer:
There are loads, but for example you can find the diagonal from a lamppost the the end of its shadow if you know the height of the post and the length of the shadow.
