A small tree is beginning to lean. The owner decides to set up a tension wire to straighten the tree’s growth. The owner chooses a wire which is 5 m in length to straighten the tree. The tree is 4 m high. How far must the owner secure the bottom of the wire from the base of the tree (assuming he attaches the tension wire to the top of the tree)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle trig problem. The height of the tree is the height of the triangle, and the length of the wire is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using Pythagorean's Theorem, we can find the length of the base, which is how far he must secure the bottom of the wire from the base of the tree.

[tex]5^2=4^2+x^2[/tex] and

[tex]25=16+x^2[/tex] and

x = 3 m

A 100m mast is supported by six cables in two sets of three cables. They are anchored to the ground at an equal distance from the mast. The top set of three cables is attached at a point 20m below the top of the mast. Each cable in the lower set of three cables is 60m long and is attached at a height of 30m above the ground. If all the cables have to be replaced, find the total length of cable required?

Answers

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of cable required is 466.18 m.

What is Pythagoras theorem?

Pythagoras theorem states that In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.

According to the question

A 100m mast is supported by six cables in two sets of three cables.

They are anchored to the ground at an equal distance from the mast.

The top set of three cables is attached at a point 20m below the top of the mast.

Each cable in the lower set of three cables is 60m long and is attached at a height of 30m above the ground.

One set of guy wires (1 upper and one lower have two right triangles which can solve

The lower right triangle

a = distance from the pole to guy tie point

b = 30 m

c = 60 m the lower guy wire (the hypotenuse)

Using Pythagoras theorem

[tex]a^{2} +30^{2} =60^{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]a^{2} = 3600 - 900[/tex]

⇒ [tex]a^{2} =2700[/tex]

⇒ [tex]a = \sqrt{2700}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]a = 51.96[/tex] m from the pole to the tie point.

The other triangle using upper guy wire as the hypotenuse (h) tied to a point on the pole 80 m from the ground (20 m from the top) and also 50m from the tie point.

Using Pythagoras theorem

[tex]h^{2} =(51.96)^{2} +80^{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]h^{2}=2700+6400[/tex]

⇒ [tex]h^{2}=9100[/tex]

⇒ [tex]h = \sqrt{9100}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]h = 95.39[/tex] m , the length of the upper guy wire

For one set of guy wires (1 upper & 1 lower):

= 95.39 + 60

= 155.39 m

For 3 sets of guy wires :

= 3(155.39)

= 466.18 m of wire required

Hence, total length of cable required is 466.18 m.

Answer:

(√366 - 3)/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

cos∝ = √3/8 and sinβ = √3/3

Sin(∝-β) = sin∝cosβ - cos∝sinβ

Get sin∝

Since cos∝ = √3/8

adj = √3

hyp = 8

opp = √8² - (√3)²

opp = √64 - 3

opp = √61

Recall that sin∝ = opp/hyp  

sin∝ = √61/8

Get cosβ

Since sinβ =  √3/3

opp = √3

hyp = 3

adj =√3² - (√3)²

adj = √9-3

adj = √6

Recall that cosβ = adj/hyp

cosβ = √6/3

Substitute the gotten values into the formula

Sin(∝-β) = sin∝cosβ - cos∝sinβ

Sin(∝-β) = ( √61/8)(√6/3)- (√3/8)(√3/3)

Sin(∝-β) = √366/24 - √9/24

Sin(∝-β) = (√366 - 3)/24

what is 7/8 divided by 1/8

Answers

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Concepts:

Division: a system of distributing a collection of things into equal partsFractions: #s that represent a part of a wholeDividing Fractions: dividing a fraction by another fraction = multiplying the fraction by the inverse (reciprocal) of the other oneInverse Operations: operations that are opposite of each other (e.g. inverse of addition is subtraction)

Solving:

1. First, let's set up the equation:

7/8 ÷ 1/8

2. We can get the reciprocal of 1/8 by doing the opposite of division; multiplication. 1/8 becomes 1 · 8, and that's equal to 8.

3. Now, since we know dividing a fraction by another one is exactly the same as multiplying the fraction by the reciprocal of the other, let's multiply 7/8 by the inverse of 1/8, which is 8.

7/8 · 8 = 56/8 = 7

Therefore, 7/8 divided by 1/8 is equal to 7.

Answer:  51

===========================================================

Explanation:

Your teacher shows that minor arc BD is 129 degrees. Recall that any minor arc is always less than 180 degrees.

Let's say that we had point A at the center of the circle. This would mean angle DAB is 129 degrees. This central angle subtends or cuts off minor arc BD.

Now focus entirely on quadrilateral DABC. The goal is to find the unknown angle C. The angle A was found earlier at 129 degrees. The angles B and D are 90 degrees each since tangents are perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.

We have this so far

A = 129B = 90C = unknownD = 90

Adding all four angles of any quadrilateral will always get us 360 degrees. It's similar to how adding the angles of a triangle gets us 180 degrees. In fact, any quadrilateral can be cut into two triangles (aka the process of triangulation). So adding two triangles gets us 180+180 = 360 more or less.

--------------

Anyways, the four angles A,B,C,D must add to 360. So,

A+B+C+D = 360

129+90+C+90 = 360

C+309 = 360

C = 360-309

C = 51

--------------

As a shortcut, note how B+D = 90+90 = 180

Also note that A+C = 360-(B+D) which becomes A+C = 180

So, C = 180-A = 180-129 = 51

Answer:

x = 11/2

y = 21/2

z = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2y + 2z = 24

x + y + z = 12

b + 2x + y + z = 21

2b + 2y = 28

b + y = 14

3x + y + z = 23

we can start anywhere by transforming these equations in a way that always one variable is excised by others.

so, e.g.

b = 14 - y

14 - y + 2x + y + z = 21

2x + z = 7

z = 7 - 2x

3x + y + 7 - 2x = 23

x + y = 16

16 + z = 12

z = -4

-4 = 7 - 2x

-11 = -2x

11 = 2x

x = 11/2

11/2 + y = 16

y = 16 - 11/2 = 32/2 - 11/2 = 21/2

b = 14 - 21/2 = 28/2 - 21/2 = 7/2

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is simple, but the extra numbers given in the form of the specific times might throw you off.

If Garrett leaves at noon and at 7 Ben is some distance ahead of him, that means that Garrett has been driving for 7 hours. Ben left at 2, so at 7 pm he has been driving for 5 hours. That's part of what's confusing. We'll put that in a table to hopefully make things easier:

              d      =       r      *        t

G                                             7

B                                             5

We also know that Garrett is driving at 10 km/h, so:

              d        =        r        *        t

G                               10       *        7

B                                 r                 5

The r is because Ben's rate is our unknown. Look at the top of the table. That is the formula we are going to use to solve this problem: d = rt.

If Garrett drives for 7 hours at 10 km/hr, then the distance he has traveled is 70 km (that's found by multiplying the rate of 10 km/h by the time of 7 hours). Ben's rate, along those same lines of reasoning, is 5r. Fill that in:

            d        =        r        *        t

G         70       =       10       *       7

B         5r        =        r        *       5

Ok now the table is filled out. Let's look at the rest of the problem. It says that at 7 pm Ben's distance is 15 km more than Garrett's distance. The words "more than" indicate addition. In words that is

"Ben's distance is Garrett's distance plus 15 km" which translates to, mathematically speaking:

5r = 70 + 15 and

5r = 85 so

r = 17

Ben's rate is 17 km/h, choice a.
