A 51-foot wire running from the top of a tent pole to the ground makes an angle of 58° with the ground. If the length of the tent pole is 44 feet, how far is it from the bottom of the tent pole to the point where the wire is fastened to the ground? (The tent pole is not necessarily perpendicular to the ground.)
Answers
Answer:
35.11 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
This given situation can be thought of as triangle [tex]\triangle PQR[/tex] where PQ is the length of pole.
PR is the length of rope.
and QR is the distance of bottom of pole to the point of fastening of rope to the ground.
And [tex]\angle Q \neq 90^\circ[/tex]
Given that:
PQ = 44 ft
PR = 51 ft
[tex]\angle R = 58^\circ[/tex]
To find:
Side QR = ?
Solution:
We can apply Sine Rule here to find the unknown side.
Sine Rule:
[tex]\dfrac{a}{sinA} = \dfrac{b}{sinB} = \dfrac{c}{sinC}[/tex]
Where
a is the side opposite to [tex]\angle A[/tex]
b is the side opposite to [tex]\angle B[/tex]
c is the side opposite to [tex]\angle C[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{PR}{sinQ}=\dfrac{PQ}{sinR}\\\Rightarrow sin Q =\dfrac{PR}{PQ}\times sinR\\\Rightarrow sin Q =\dfrac{51}{44}\times sin58^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle Q =79.41^\circ[/tex]
Now,
[tex]\angle P +\angle Q +\angle R =180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle P +58^\circ+79.41^\circ=180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle P = 42.59^\circ[/tex]
Let us use the Sine rule again:
[tex]\dfrac{QR}{sinP}=\dfrac{PQ}{sinR}\\\Rightarrow QR =\dfrac{sinP}{sinR}\times PQ\\\Rightarrow QR =\dfrac{sin42.59}{sin58}\times 44\\\Rightarrow QR = 35.11\ ft[/tex]
So, the answer is 35.11 ft.

3.) Find the measure of the missing angle X:
Xº
120°
70°
Answers
Answer:
x=50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's look at the red angle. if a flat line makes the angle 180, and the outer angle is 120, subtract 120 from 180. This will give you 60. Now every angle of a triangle added together will give you the sum of 180. So you already have 60 and 70, which make 130 all together. Subract 130 from 180 - (180-130) - and you'll get the result of 50.
The solution is : the measure of the missing angle X is x=50.

Work out the value of angle x
Answers
======================================================
Explanation:
The given exterior angle 97 is adjacent to the interior angle 180-97 = 83. This is the base angle of the isosceles triangle. The other base angle is directly above it. The base angles are always opposite the congruent sides.
The missing interior angle (adjacent to the blue angle x) is unknown, so we'll call it angle y. This angle adds to the other two base angles (83 each) to get a sum of 180. Adding any three interior angles of a triangle always gets you 180
y+83+83 = 180
y+166 = 180
y = 180-166
y = 14
Angle x and y are supplementary. They form a 180 degree angle
x+y = 180
x = 180-y
x = 180-14
x = 166
As you can see, the base angles combine to form the exterior angle we're after. This is because of the remote interior angle theorem.

Simplify the expression using trigonometric identities: sec (–θ) – cos θ.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's break this down. The secant of a negative angle is the same as the secant of the positive angle. This is because secant is the inverse of cosine, and cosine is an even function. f(-x) = f(x) if the function is even, and f(-x) = -f(x) if the function is odd. Sine is odd and has symmetry about the origin; cosine is even and has y-axis symmetry.
Therefore, sec(-θ) = sec(θ) and we have then
sec(θ) - cos(θ). Since secant is the inverse of cosine, we can write:
[tex]\frac{1}{cos\theta}-cos\theta[/tex] and finding a common denominator:
[tex]\frac{1-cos^2\theta}{cos\theta}[/tex] and using a trig identity:
[tex]\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\theta}[/tex] and simplify that down a bit by breaking it up:
[tex]\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta}*sin\theta[/tex] finally boils down to
tanθ · sinθ, the last choice there.

The price of a stock decreased by 60 cents one week, decreased 10 cents the next week, and decreased another 20 cents the following week.

Answers
Hi there! Hopefully this helps!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It decreased by 30 cents per week.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The average rate of change is calculated as:
the ratio of the sum of the change in the three weeks divided by the number of weeks. (The number of weeks being 3)
Rate of change = [tex]\frac{-60 -10 -20}{3}[/tex].
(-60 + -10 + -20 = -90). So, to simplify it:
[tex]\frac{-90}{3}[/tex] = -30

Incase you are confused:
Since the average rate of change is negative, this means that the stock price has decreased.

Answer:
x = - 2, y = - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
13x - 6y = 22 → (1)
x = y + 6 → (2)
Substitute x = y + 6 into (1)
13(y + 6) - 6y = 22 ← distribute and simplify left side
13y + 78 - 6y = 22
7y + 78 = 22 ( subtract 78 from both sides )
7y = - 56 ( divide both sides by 7 )
y = - 8
Substitute y = - 8 into (2) and evaluate for x
x = - 8 + 6 = - 2
Thus x = - 2, y = - 8
1.Waheeda mixes water with some lemon juice to make lemonade. Write an equation to represent how much lemon juice is needed when Waheeda uses 18 ounces of water.
2. Identify the independent and dependent variables in the situation.
Independent variable: Dependent variable: b) Write an equation representing the amount Waheeda earns in relation to the number of glasses of lemonade she sells.
Equation: c) In which Quadrant of a graph would her data appear? Explain.
Answers
1. The equation is 18 = 3 × x
2. a) The independent variable is the of ounces of lemon juice in the lemonade
b) A = a × b
c) First quadrant
The procedure to find the above answers are presented here as follows;
1. The following is the table of values of the data
[tex]\begin{array}{ccc} Lemon \ juice \ ounces \ (x)& & Water \ in \ ounces \ (y)\\2&&6\\3&&9\\4&&12\\5&&15\end{array}[/tex]
The given data in the table shows that the Lemon juice ounces, x, and the Water in ounces, y, have a direct proportionality relationship which is given as follows;
y ∝ x
∴ y = k × x
Where;
k = The constant of proportionality
k = y/x
Therefore;
k = 6/2 = 9/3 = 12/4 = 15/5 = 3
k = 3
y = k × x
∴ y = 3 × x
Therefore;
The equation to represent how much lemon juice, x, is needed when Waheeda uses y = 18 ounces of water is given by placing y = 18 in y = 3 × x as to get;
18 = 3 × x
∴ x = 18/3 = 6; 6 ounces of lemon juice is needed with 18 ounces of water
2. The independent variable is the input or causing variable that determines the output variable
Therefore, the independent variable is the number of ounces of lemon juice required to be mixed with a given number of ounce of water to make lemonade
b) Let a represent the selling price for a glass of lemonade, let b represent the number of glasses of lemonade she sells, and let A represent the amount she earns, we have;
A = a × b
c) The given x and y values in the data are both positive values, which indicate that the data would appear in the first quadrant

Answers
Answer:
the floor area of the production line =20000 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we were told two thirds of the floor of the factory is taken up by the production line.
If we denote the total area of the factory as "y" then
the Area of the production line can be express algebraically as
2/3 × y = 2y/3
The rest of floor area of warehouse space will be
y- 2y/3 = y/3
From the rest of floor area, we were told three fifths is taken up by the office space, then this office space's area can be expressed in m^3 as
3/5 × y/3 = y/5
The remaining space left will now be for
warehouse, by we were given warehouse space omas 2000m^2.
Then from here we can get value of y
2y/15 = 2000
2y = (2000×15)
2y= 30000
y= 15000m^2
Therefore, the floor area of the production line can be expressed as
(2 ×30000)/3
= 20000 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Four machines give out a signal at intervals of 24 seconds, 27 seconds, 30 seconds and 50 seconds respectively.
Time when all four machines gave out signal simultaneously = 5:00 pm
To find the time all four will give out the next simultaneous signal :
Take the lowest common factor of the four intervals :
L. C. M of 24, 27, 30, 50
Using the Lowest Common Multiple calculator :
L. C. M. = 5400
5400 seconds.
Adding 5400 seconds to the last time a simultaneous signal was produced :
5:00 pm + 5400 seconds

it’s about 320 mile Drive from San Jose to Santa Barbara.
write an equation showing that the distance traveled on the first day plus the distance traveled on the second is equal to 425 miles
Answers
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance traveled the first day = Distance from San Jose to Santa Barbara = 320 mile.
The distance traveled the second day = Distance from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles.
But From San Jose to Los Angeles = 425 mile. Therefore:
Distance From San Jose to Los Angeles = Distance from San Jose to Santa Barbara + Distance from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles
425 = 320 + Distance from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles.
Distance from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles = 425 - 320 = 105 mile
The distance traveled the second day = Distance from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles = 105 miles
The distance traveled the first day + The distance traveled the second day = Distance from San Jose to Santa Barbara + Distance from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles = 320 + 105 = 425 miles
The distance traveled the first day + The distance traveled the second day = 425 miles

3/8 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 tablespoons of sugar = 1/16 * 2 = 1/8 cup of sugar.
1/2 cup = 4/8 cups.
So the extra sugar required = 4/8 - 1/8
= 3/8 cups.
Answer:
4) 3/8 cup
Step-by-step explanation:
1 table spoon = [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] cup
2 table spoon = 2 * [tex]\frac{1}{16} = \frac{1}{8}[/tex] cup
Second recipe need (1/8) cup of sugar
First recipe need (1/2) cup of sugar
More amount of sugar need by first recipe= [tex]\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1*4}{2*4}-\frac{1}{8}\\\\\\=\frac{4}{8}-\frac{1}{8}\\\\=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
