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

The total area of the polygon is 176 square feet. Find the value of x.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

x = 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Total area of the given polygon = Area of triangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2 + Area of triangle 3

Area of triangle 1 = Area of triangle 3 = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})

                                                              = \frac{1}{2}(x)(8)

                                                              = 4x square feet

Area of rectangle 2 = Length × Width

                                 = 16 × 8

                                 = 128 square feet

Total area of the given polygon = 4x + 128 + 4x

176 = 8x + 128

8x = 176 - 128

x = \frac{48}{8}

x = 6 ft

Natali5045456 [20]
The fact that the first chosen student was a girl is already decided, so there is no need to find the probability of that happening. There are a total of 13+10, or 23 students. A girl was already selected, so that leaves 22 students. The chance that a boy is chosen is 10/22, or 5/11.

After learning the midpoint construction Sally realizes that she could determine one fourth the length of a segment how could sh
Viefleur [7K]
The midpoint of two points is the point which divides the line segment joining the two points into two equal parts.

Suppose, we have a line segment AB with a point C, between point A and point B such that the distance AC is equal to the distance CB, then we say that point C is the midpoint of line AB.

Suppose, we have another point D between point A and point C, such that the distance AD is equal to the distance DC, then we say that point D is the midpoint of AC.

Notice that point D is a fourth of line segment AB.

Thus, AD is <span>one fourth the length of segment AB.

Therefore, one fourth the length of a segment can be obtained by evaluating the midpoint of the midpoint of the line segment.

Let x and y be real numbers satisfying 2/x=y/3=x/y Determine the value of x^3
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

<h2>64/27</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If  x and y be real numbers satisfying 2/x=y/3=x/y, then any two of the equation are equated as shown;

2/x = y/3 ... 1 and;

y/3 = x/y... 2

From equation 1, 2y = 3x ... 3

and from equation 2; y² = 3x ... 4

Equating the left hand side of equation 3 and 4 since their right hand sides are equal, we will have;

2y = y²

2 = y

y = 2

Substituting y = 2 into equation 3 to get the value of x;

2y = 3x

2(2) = 3x

4 = 3x

x = 4/3

The value of x³ will be expressed as (4/3)³ = 4*4*4/3*3*3 = 64/27

Find the value of cosAcos2Acos3A...........cos998Acos999A where A=2π/1999
Lady bird [3.3K]
Hello,

Here is the demonstration in the book Person Guide to Mathematic by Khattar Dinesh.

Let's assume
P=cos(a)*cos(2a)*cos(3a)*....*cos(998a)*cos(999a)
Q=sin(a)*sin(2a)*sin(3a)*....*sin(998a)*sin(999a)

As sin x *cos x=sin (2x) /2

P*Q=1/2*sin(2a)*1/2sin(4a)*1/2*sin(6a)*....
         *1/2* sin(2*998a)*1/2*sin(2*999a) (there are 999 factors)
= 1/(2^999) * sin(2a)*sin(4a)*...
     *sin(998a)*sin(1000a)*sin(1002a)*....*sin(1996a)*sin(1998a)
 as sin(x)=-sin(2pi-x) and 2pi=1999a

sin(1000a)=-sin(2pi-1000a)=-sin(1999a-1000a)=-sin(999a)
sin(1002a)=-sin(2pi-1002a)=-sin(1999a-1002a)=-sin(997a)
...
sin(1996a)=-sin(2pi-1996a)=-sin(1999a-1996a)=-sin(3a)
sin(1998a)=-sin(2pi-1998a)=-sin(1999a-1998a)=-sin(a)

So  sin(2a)*sin(4a)*...
     *sin(998a)*sin(1000a)*sin(1002a)*....*sin(1996a)*sin(1998a)
= sin(a)*sin(2a)*sin(3a)*....*sin(998)*sin(999) since there are 500 sign "-".

Thus
P*Q=1/2^999*Q or Q!=0 then
P=1/(2^999)
