Un globo busca aterrizar en medio de dos ciudades A y B, cuya distancia entre si es de 200 km. Si se mide el ángulo de elevación

desde cada casa hasta el punto C en el que se ubica el globo en un instante dado, se obtienen 27° y 36° . ¿Cuál es la altura aproximada del globo?

Answer:

$h \approx 59.898\,km$

Step-by-step explanation:

El diagrama trigonométrico que representa el enunciado es incluido abajo como adjunto. Las siguientes relaciones trigonométricas describen la localización del globo. (The trigonometric diagram representing the statement is included below as attachment. The following trigonometric relations describes the location of the balloon):

$\tan 27^{\circ} = \frac{h}{x}$

$\tan 36^{\circ} = \frac{h}{200-x}$

A continuación, se obtiene la distancia horizontal: (The horizontal distance is obtained hereafter):

$x \cdot \tan 27^{\circ} = (200-x)\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}$

$x \cdot (\tan 27^{\circ} + \tan 36^{\circ})= 200\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}$

$x = \frac{200\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}}{\tan 27^{\circ}+ \tan 36^{\circ}}$

$x \approx 117.557\,km$

La altura aproximada del globo es (The approximated height of the globe is):

$h = x\cdot \tan 27^{\circ}$

$h \approx 59.898\,km$

An antique store increases all of its prices by $40\%$, and then announces a $25\%$-off-everything sale. What percent of the ori

Nostrana [21]

Let X be the original price.
Do a 40% increase we get the price: X+0.4X=1.4X
Doing a 25% off we get the new price:
(1.4X)-0.25(1.4X)=1.05X
=X+0.05X.
The new prices are 5% increase from the original price.

Which statement justifies that 3x2 − 2x − 4 multiplied by 2x2 + x − 3 obeys the closure property of multiplication? The result 6

zalisa [80]

We have been given two polynomials $3x^2-2x -4 \text{ and } 2x^2+x-3$

Let us first multiply these polynomials.

$(3x^2 - 2x - 4)(2x^2 + x - 3)\\
\\
=3x^2(2x^2 + x - 3) -2x(2x^2 + x - 3)-4(2x^2 + x - 3)\\
\\
=6 x^4 - x^3 - 19 x^2 + 2 x + 12$

Now, we know that polynomials follows closure property of multiplication.

It means that when we multiply two polynomials, the result will be a polynomial.

Since, when we multiplied the given polynomials, we got $6 x^4 - x^3 - 19 x^2 + 2 x + 12$ which is a polynomial.

Therefore, the correct option is

The result $6 x^4 - x^3 - 19 x^2 + 2 x + 12$ is a polynomial.

Find the arc length of AB. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Fantom [35]

The arc length of AB is 8 m (app.)

Explanation:

Given that the radius of the circle is 8 m.

The central angle is 60°

We need to determine the arc length of AB

The arc length of AB can be determined using the formula,

$arc \ length=\frac{central \ angle}{360^{\circ}} \times circumference$

Substituting central angle = 60° and circumference = 2πr in the above formula, we get,

$arc \ length=\frac{60^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times 2 \pi(8)$

Simplifying the terms, we get,

$arc \ length=\frac{8 \pi }{3}$

Dividing, we get,

$arc \ length=8.37758041$

$arc \ length=8(app.)$

Hence, the arc length is approximately equal to 8.

Therefore, the arc length of AB is 8 m

What is the missing statement in the proof? Scroll down to see the entire proof.

Eva8 [605]

Answer: C. $\angle BCA\cong \angle DCB$ is the missing statement.

Explanation: Given: ΔABC with m∠ABC = 90° (view diagram)

Prove: $AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2$

Proof: 1. Draw $BD\perp AC$ (construction)

2. $\angle ABC\cong\angle BDC$ (Angles with the same measure are congruent.)

3. $\angle BCA\cong \angle DCB$ (Reflexive Property of Congruence)

4. $\triangle ABC\sim \triangle BDC$ (AA criterion for similarity)

5. BC:DC=AC:BC (Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.)

6. $BC^2= AC\times DC$ (cross multiplication)----------(1)

7. $\angle ABC\cong \angle ADB$ (Angles with the same measure are congruent)

8. $\angle BAC\cong \angle DAB$ (Reflexive Property of Congruence)

9. $\triangle ABC\sim \triangle ADB$ (AA criterion for similarity)

10. AB:AD=AC:AB⇒ $AB^2=AC.AD$ --------------(2)

equation (1) + equation (2) ⇒ $AB^2+BC^2= AC(DC+AD)$ ⇒ $AB^2+BC^2= AC^2$

A square rotated about its center by 360º maps onto itself at(1,2,3,4) different angles of rotation. You can reflect a square on

Sladkaya [172]

A square rotated about its center by 360º maps onto itself at 90°, 180°, 270° and 360° - 4 different angles of rotation.

You can reflect a square onto itself across two diagonals and two segments that connects the middlepoints of opposite sides - 4 different lines of reflection.
