Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle in the given problem is a right triangle, as the tower forms a right angle with the ground. This means that one can use the right angle trigonometric ratios to solve this problem. The right angle trigonometric ratios are as follows;
Please note that the names (
) and (
) are subjective and change depending on the angle one uses in the ratio. However the name (
) refers to the side opposite the right angle, and thus it doesn't change depending on the reference angle.
In this problem, one is given an angle with the measure of (35) degrees, and the length of the side adjacent to this angle. One is asked to find the length of the side opposite the (35) degree angle. To achieve this, one can use the tangent (
) ratio.
Substitute,
Inverse operations,
Simplify,
2x + x - 1 x
= ------------------ * ---------
x(x - 1) 8
3x - 1
= --------------
8x - 8
1. You need to make a proportion
2. Your proportion would be 8 over 10 equals X over 15
3. Your equation would be 10x=15(8)
4. 15x8=125
5. 10x=125
6. you would divide 125 by 10
7. thats your answer
1/4n-8=1/4 would be first because it says less than so you switch it. then you put the 8 since it's in the same subtraction problem. Then the word "is" indicates the equal sign. and the n represents "a number" since it is unknown.
Solution: Estimated time for the work is 40 hour work week.
Estimated payment to 3 laborers working 40 hours at cost $14 per hour is:
$1680
Estimated payment to 6 masons working 40 hours at cost $24 per hour is:
$5760
Estimated cost of material = $3143
Contractor wishes to make a profit of $500
Therefore, the mathematical expression that will give the estimated cost of the job is:
The estimated total cost is:
Cost =$11083
