Answer:
x = 10
, y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine/ cosine ratios in the right triangle and the exact values
sin60° = 
, cos60° = 
, then
sin60° = 
= 
= ( cross- multiply )
2x = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 10
and
cos60° = 
= 
= ( cross- multiply )
2y = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
this creates a right-angled triangle.
the right angle (90°) being the angle between flag pole and ground.
the angle ground-wire is 50°.
because we know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°, we know then that the angle flagpole-wire is
180 - 90 - 50 = 40°
so, we have the situation to know 1 side and all angles.
to get the other sides we use best the law of sine :
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
where the sides and related angles are always opposite of each other.
in our case now we have
24/sin(50) = wire/sin(90) = wire/1 = wire = 31.32977494... ft
so, the rounded answer is that the wire must be
31.3 ft long
Mean Absolute Deviation I'm pretty sure. Hope this helped, have a great day! :D
A little less than 100. 593 is 7 numbers away from 600, so if you divide 6 by 600 hundred the answer is 100. Since 593 is less than 600, the answer will be less than 100.
