Keith is looking at a cliff. He determines that the angle of elevation to the top is 70° from where he is at. 70m away from Keith, Alan estimates the angle between the base of the cliff, himself, and Keith to be 29° while Keith estimates the angle between the base of the cliff, himself, and Alan to be 48°. What is the height, h, of the cliff to the nearest tenth of a metre?
1) 78.8m
2) 83.9m
3) 89.0m
4) 95.7m

This question completely baffled me on my homework, I still haven't done it because I don't even know how to approach it (Since it's a 3D problem)
Please help me out
Also, this homework is due in an hour so I'm starting to sweat

Answer:

  4) 95.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle at the cliff base between Alan and Keith is ...

  B = 180° -29° -48° = 103°

The law of sines will tell you the distance KB from Keith to the cliff base is

  KB/sin(A) = KA/sin(B)

  KB = KA×sin(A)/sin(B) = (70 m)sin(29°)/sin(103°) ≈ 34.82935 m

The height of the cliff is found from the tangent relation ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(70°) = height/(34.83 m)

  height = (34.83 m)tan(70°) = 95.693 m

The height of the cliff is about 95.7 m.

_____

Additional comment

These problems can usually be resolved into two 2-D problems. Here, we can work out the distance we need from Keith to the cliff by considering only the ground plan of the site. Then we can work out the height of the cliff only considering the vertical plane containing Keith and the base of the cliff.

The attachment shows the ground plan triangle KAB.

In the parallelogram below x=?

Answers

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides are congruent

5x - 17 = 3x + 7

Subtract 3x from both sides

2x - 17 = 7

Add 17 to both sides

2x = 24

Divide both sides by 2

x = 12

Answer:

X=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First collect all the light terms '7' and '17' '-17+7=-10'

And '3x' and' 5x' '3x+5x=8x'

So if you put this as an equation you will have '8x=-10'

Next you do 8 divided -10

Then you get 0.8

Suppose you are asked to pick 4 numbers from 1 to 25 to win a prize. What is the probability that one of the numbers you will pick is the winning number?

Answers

Answer:

each number you pick has a 1 in 25 chance

this equates to a 4% chance of winning for each individual ball

Each number has a 1/20 chance of being the winner.
You pick 3 numbers, so you have three times the chance of having the winning number.

3 * 1/20 = 3/20 = 0.15

The probability you have the winning number is 0.15.

Factorise x2 - 2x - 3

Answers

(x+1)(x-3)
x= -1,3
This is the answer

The factorization of x² - 2x - 3 is  (x+1)(x-3).

The given quadratic equation is,

x² - 2x - 3

The definition of a quadratic as a second-degree polynomial equation demands that at least one squared term must be included. It also goes by the name quadratic equations. The quadratic equation has the following generic form:

ax² + bx + c = 0

Hence to factorize we can write the given quadratic equation as,

⇒ x² - 3x + x - 3

⇒ x(x-3) + (x - 3)

⇒ (x+1)(x-3)

Hence,

x² - 2x - 3 =  (x+1)(x-3)

Answer:

  B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use t=0 and t=2 and locate the graph with those two points on it. (We choose these because the horizontal grid is 2 years for each grid line.)

For t=0, C(0) = 50000(0.9^0) -2000 = 480000

For t=2, C(2) = 50000(0.9^2) -2000 = 40500 -2000 = 38500

The only graph that has y-intercept of 48000 and crosses (2, 38500) is the one shown in choice B.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\text{C. }(5,2)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate vertex of a parabola in standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] is equal [tex]\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex].

In [tex]y=3x^2-30x+77[/tex], we have:

[tex]a[/tex] equals 3[tex]b[/tex] equals -30

Therefore, the x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to [tex]\frac{-(-30)}{2(3)}=\frac{30}{6}=5[/tex].

To find the y-coordinate, simply substitute [tex]x=5[/tex] into the parabola's equation:

[tex]y=3x^2-30x+77,\\y=3(5^2)-30(5)+77,\\y=75-150+77,\\y=-75+77=2[/tex]

Thus, the vertex of the parabola is [tex]\boxed{(5,2)}[/tex]

A = 0.25*j + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The question presented here is an application of linear models. The $1 amount is fixed and does not depend on any factor such as the cups of orange juice sold.

Furthermore, we are informed that we earn $0.25 for every cup of orange juice sold. This means that we shall earn 0.25 j by selling  j cups of orange juice.

The variable total amount, A will thus depend on the fixed amount of $1 and the variable income 0.25 j.

The equation in two variables that will represent the total amount A (in dollars) you have after selling j cups of orange juice will thus be;

A = 0.25*j + 1

Answers

Answer:

ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

The two small angles which are the base angles of the small triangle in the middle are marked as equal.

The two large angles of the two triangles are also marked as conguent.

The base of the small triangle in the middle is common to both the larger triangles by the reflexive property (a line is always equal to itself). The line is between two sets of congruent angles. Therefore the two large triangles are congruent by ASA

Answer:  ASA

Explanation:

It might help to peel the triangles apart as I have done so below.

We have two pairs of congruent angles, as shown by the distinct angle markers. Between the congruent angles, we have a pair of congruent sides.

The side (S) is between the angles (A), which is why we use ASA.

Note: SAA is slightly different where the congruent sides are not between the congruent angles.
