The support wire is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed. Therefore, the length of the support wire is 42.2 meters.

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Right angle triangle</h3>

A right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The sides and angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

Therefore, the height of the tower where the wire was attached is the opposite side of the triangle formed.

The wire was attached 30 m from the top. Hence, 65m - 30m = 35 m.

Therefore,

sin 56° = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 56° = 35 / x

The hypotenuse is the length of the support wire.

Therefore,

x = 35 / 0.82903757255

x = 42.2195416164

x = 42.2 m

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) &gt; 5x + 2?
bonufazy [111]

We have to simplify and get the value of x from this inequality given:

Given inequality,

3(x - 4) > 5x + 2

Now let's simplify by using distributive property,

3x - 12 > 5x + 2

We need to find x, so let's isolate x to the letter side of the inequality for calculation at ease.

3x - 12 - 5x  - 2 > 0

- 2x - 14 > 0

Now, dividing -2 from both sides.

Note : As we are dividing a negative number from both sides, the sign of the inequality will be <u>reversed</u>.

\dfrac{ - 2x - 14}{ - 2}  >  \dfrac{0}{ - 2}

x + 7 < 0

Now subtracting -7 from both sides,

x + 7 - 7 < 0 - 7

x <  - 7

Or, Interval of the equal (- \infin, -7 ]

Find the m∡B to the nearest tenth of a degree if cos B = 0.8926 and ∡B is an acute angle
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

26.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side of the triangle in which the angle is formed to the hypotenuses side of the triangle. The cosine of the angle gives the ratio of these sides. However, the arc cosine of the ratio gives the angle measured in degrees.

If cos B = 0.8926

then arc cosine 0.8926  which may be expressed as cos-1 0.8926 will give the value of B.

B = cos-1 0.8926

= 26.8°
