A fighter tank targets an enemy helicopter flying at an altitude of 1250 ft. If the ground
distance between the tank & the helicopter is 875 ft, what angle of elevation must the
cannon be raised to in order to hit the target?

Answers

Answer 1

By using trigonometric relations, we will see that the angle of elevation must be 55°.

How to find the angle of elevation?

We can see this as a right triangle, where one cathetus measures 1250ft (altitude) and the other cathetus measures 875ft.

The angle of elevation is the angle such that the adjacent cathetus is the one measuring 875ft.

Then we can use the relation:

tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

tan(a) = 1250ft/875ft

To find the angle of elevation, we can use the inverse tangent function:

a = Atan(1250ft/875ft) = 55°

The angle of elevation must be 55 degrees.

Find the area of this triangle.

Answers

Answer:

120 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle is :

Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × base × height

Given that,

base ⇒ 30 ft

height ⇒ 8 ft

Let us solve it now.

Area =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × base × height

Area =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 30 ft × 8 ft

Area =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 240 ft²

Area =  120 ft²

❍ Explanation -:

In this question we are provided with the base and height of a triangle. We are asked to calculate the area of the triangle.

Base = 30 feet

Height = 8 feet

We know,

[tex] \large \star \: \small\boxed{ \rm{ Area_{(triangle)} = \dfrac{1}{2} × b × h}}[/tex]

Where,

b stand for baseh stand for height

Substituting the values we get

[tex] \small\sf{ Area_{(triangle)} = \dfrac{1}{ \cancel{2}} × 30 × \cancel{8} \: \: 4}[/tex]

[tex] \longmapsto \small\rm Area_{(triangle)} = 30 × 4[/tex]

[tex] \small \underline{ \boxed{\sf {Area_{(triangle)} =120 \: {feet}^{2} }}}[/tex]

Hence,the area of the triangle is 120 feet².

Jennifer serves the volleyball to Marsha with an upward velocity of 10.5 ft/s. The ball is 5 feet above the ground when she strikes it. How long does Marsha have to
react, before the volleyball hits the ground? Round your answer to two decimal

Answers

Answer:

  0.98 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the height of the volleyball is described by the equation for ballistic motion. We want to find the time it takes for the height to become zero.

__

motion equation

The general form of the equation of height for ballistic motion is ...

  [tex]h(t)=-16t^2+v_0t+h_0\qquad\text{$v_0$ and $h_0$ are the initial velocity and height}[/tex]

The coefficient 16 in the equation is an approximation of 1/2g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity in ft/s². This means the units of time and distance are expected to be seconds and feet.

For the problem at hand, the initial velocity and height are 10.5 ft/s and 5 ft. Then the height equation is ...

  h(t) = -16t² +10.5t +5

__

reaction time

Marsha has until the ball hits the ground to react to the serve. To find out how long that is, we need to solve the height equation for t when h=0. This is most easily done using the quadratic formula with ...

a = -16b = 10.5c = 5

The solution is ...

  [tex]t=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}= \dfrac{-10.5\pm\sqrt{10.5^2-4(-16)(5)}}{2(-16)}\\\\=\dfrac{10.5\pm\sqrt{430.25}}{32}=\dfrac{21\pm\sqrt{1721}}{64}[/tex]

The positive solution is ...

  t ≈ 0.976327 ≈ 0.98

Marsha has about 0.98 seconds to react before the volleyball hits the ground.

_____

Additional comment

After about 0.33 seconds, Marsha knows she doesn't need to react at all. The serve will not clear the net. Its maximum height is about 6' 8 5/8". A women's volleyball net is 7' 4 1/8" high. Jennifer's serve velocity must be at least 12.3 ft/s for the ball to go over the net. With that upward velocity, Marsha has about 1.06 seconds to react.

The solution to the triangle is A = 92.0, B = 47.9 and C = 40.1

How to solve the triangle?

The figure is not given;

However, the question can still be solved without it

The given parameters are:

a = 31, b = 23, and c = 20

Calculate angle A using the following law of cosine

a² = b² + c² - 2bc * cos(A)

So, we have:

31² = 23² + 20² - 2 * 23 * 20 * cos(A)

Evaluate

961 = 929 - 920 * cos(A)

Subtract 929 from both sides

32 =- 920 * cos(A)

Divide both sides by -920

cos(A) = -0.0348

Take the arc cos of both sides

A = 92.0

Calculate angle B using the following law of sine

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)

So, we have:

31/sin(92) = 23/sin(B)

This gives

31.0189 = 23/sin(B)

Rewrite as:

sin(B) =23/31.0189

Evaluate

sin(B) =0.7415

Take arc sin of both sides

B = 47.9

Calculate angle C using:

C = 180 - 92.0 - 47.9

Evaluate

C = 40.1

Hence, the solution to the triangle is A = 92.0, B = 47.9 and C = 40.1

The perimeter of the composite figure shown in the figure is equal to 5 · [2 + √2 · (1 + √5)] units (approx. 32.882 units) and the total area is 33.5 square units.

How to determine the perimeter and the area of a composite figure

In this case we have a composite figure formed by six triangles and two rectangles. The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths and the area is the sum of the areas of the triangles and rectangles. The perimeter of the entire figure is described below:

p = AB + BC + CD + DE + EF + FG + GA

p = 5√2 + √10 + √10 + 5 + √10 + 5 + 2√10

p = 10 + 5√2 + 5√10

p = 10 + 5 · (√2 + √10)

p = 10 + 5√2 · (1 + √5)

p = 5 · [2 + √2 · (1 + √5)]

And the area of the composite figure is determined by the following expression:

A = 0.5 · (3) · (1) + (3) · (4) + 0.5 · (3) · (1) + 0.5 · (3) · (1) + 0.5 · (3) · (1) + (3) · (2) + 0.5 · (7) · (1) + 0.5 · (6) · (2)

A = 2 · (3) · (1) + (3) · (4) + (3) · (2) + 0.5 · (7) · (1) + 0.5 · (6) · (2)

A = 33.5

The domain of a function is the set of all input values that make the function possible.

Now, for f(x) = (x + 6)/(x² - 12x + 36)

To find the domain, we equate the denominator to zero to find the numbers that can't be a domain. Thus;

x² - 12x + 36 = 0

Solving this using quadratic formula gives; x = 6. Thus, domain of f(x) is;

Domain = {x | x ≠ 6}

Now, for g(x) = (x + 7)/(x² - 49)

To find the domain, we equate the denominator to zero to find the numbers that can't be a domain. Thus;

x² - 49 = 0

Hope this helps!

The final result is 90 when T = 5 and u = 9.

Here, we have to evaluate 2Tu when T = 5 and u = 9, we substitute the values of T and u into the expression and perform the operations accordingly.

Given expression: 2Tu

T = 5

u = 9

Now, let's substitute the values:

2 * 5 * 9

Next, perform the multiplication:

2 * 5 = 10

10 * 9 = 90

So, when T = 5 and u = 9, the value of 2Tu is 90.

We get, to evaluate 2Tu, we first multiply T and u together, and then multiply the result by 2.

In this case, we have T = 5 and u = 9.

So, we perform the following steps:

Multiply T and u: 5 * 9 = 45

Multiply the result by 2: 2 * 45 = 90

Thus, the final result is 90 when T = 5 and u = 9.

We know that Area (A) = Length (L) * Width (W)

You know Area (A) = 50 sq. yds.

You don't know anything about the width, so let's just say Width (W) = x

And you know that the length is 5 yds longer than the width, so L = W + 5yd and, since W = x, we can say L = x + 5yd

Now, we recall that A = L * W, and, since A = 50, we can say 50 sq yd = L * W.

Well, now just plug in. What does W equal and L equal?

From above we plug in and can say that 50 sq yd = x * (x + 5 yd).

Multiply it out and you get 50 = x^2 + 5x (removing units for a moment so they don't clutter the lines).

Now there are a number of ways to solve this. You can tell (because of the "x^2") that it is quadratic. So let's get it equal to zero:

0 = x^2 + 5x - 50

Now you can factor it, use your quadratic formula, or (if you hated yourself) do it as a completing the square problem. I'm going to factor.

I can see from going through a list in my head that the factors 10 and -5 multiply to -50 and add to 5, so I know that

0 = x^2 + 5x - 50 = (x + 10)(x - 5)

And so you know that x = -10 or 5.

Well, you know the parking lot cannot be -10 yd long. So we must say that W = x = 5, and, since L = W + 5, then L = 5+5 = 10. So your width is 5 yd and length is 10 yd.

solve the following absolute value equation.

−8 − 2 |5X – 17| = −14

Answers

If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

Mansa Musa's arrival in Cairo carrying a ton of the metal (1324-25) caused the market in gold tocrash, suggesting that the average supply was not as great. Undoubtedly, some of this African gold was also used in Western gold coins. African gold was indeed so famous worldwide that a Spanimap of 1375 represents the king of Mali holding a gold nugget. When Mossi raids destroyed the Mali empire, the rising Songhai empire relied on the same resources. Gold remained the principalproduct in the trans-Saharan trade, followed by kola nuts and slaves. The Moroccan scholar Leo Africans, who visited Songhai in 1510 and 1513, observed that the governor of Timbuktu onedmany articles of gold, and that the coin of Timbuktu was made of gold without any stamp or superscription.
