Answer:
85.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The extreme water slide forms a 20 angle with the tower it leans against 80 feet above the ground find the length of the slide x
We solve using the Trigonometric function of Cosine
cos y = adjacent/hypotenuse
y = angle = 20°
Adjacent = 80 ft
Hypotenuse = ?
cos 20 = 80/Hypotenuse
Hypotenuse = 80/cos 20
x = 85.134221798 ft
Approximately = 85.1 ft
Length of the slide = 85.1 ft
Answer:
m<1 = 57°
m<2 = 33°
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the numerical measure of both angles, let's come up with an equation to determine the value of x.
Given that m<1 = (10x +7)°, and m<2 = (9x - 12)°, where both are complementary angles, therefore, it means, both angles will add up to give us 90°.
Equation we can generate from this, is as follows:
(10x + 7)° + (9x - 12)° = 90°
Solve for x
10x + 7 + 9x - 12 = 90
Combine like terms
19x - 5 = 90
Add 5 to both sides
19x = 90 + 5 (addition property not equality)
19x = 95
Divide both sides by 19
x = 5
m<1 = (10x +7)°
Replace x with 5
m<1 = 10(5) + 7 = 50 + 7 = 57°
m<2 = (9x - 12)
Replace x with 5
m<2 = 9(5) - 12 = 45 - 12 = 33°
Rise over run, -2/4 or -1/2 so the slope is -1/2 or -0.5. (View picture) And the slope is negative because you are going down wards \ and the "rise" is going down.
Example:
38 rounds to 40
6 rounds to 10
10+40 = 50
