(a) Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.
(b) Find the approximate height where the wire touches the tree. Round to the nearest foot.
Answer:
x = 90 - 2α
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
- Consider the right angled triangle " ABD ". The sum of angles of an triangle is always "180°".
< BAD > + < ADB > + < ABD > = 180°
< ABD > = 180 - 90° - α
< ABD > = 90° - α
- Then we look at the figure for the triangle "ABE". Where " E " is the midpoint and intersection point of two diagonals " AC and BD ".
- We name the foot of the perpendicular bisector as " F ": " BF " would be the perpendicular bisector. The angle < BAE > is equal to < ABD >.
< ABD > = < BAE > = 90° - α ... ( Isosceles triangle " BEA " )
Where, sides ( BE = AE ).
- Use the law of sum of angles in a triangle and consider the triangle " BFA " as follows:
< ABF> + < BFA > + < BAF > = 180°
< ABF > = 180 - (90° - α) - 90°
< ABF > = α
Where, < BAF > = < BAE >
- The angle < ABD > = < ABE > is comprised of two angles namely, < ABF > and < FBE > = x.
< ABD > = < ABE > = < ABF > + x
90° - α = α + x
x = 90 - 2α ... Answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of this triangle is 10 squares
and the width is 4 squares
The diagonals divide the rectangle into four triangles
These traingles are isoceles
Each two triangles facing each others are identical
<B = 90 degree
B = alpha + Beta
Let Beta be the angle next alpha
The segment that is crossing Beta is its bisector since it perpendicular to the diagonals wich means that:
Beta = 2x
Then B = alpha + 2x
90 = alpha +2x
90-alpha = 2x
x = (90-alpha)/2
B. $2.80
C. $10.00
D. $7.20
Answer:
C. $10.00
Step-by-step explanation:
She has to pay which ever is greater.
To get whichever is greater you need to check what 2% of her last billing cycle. That would be done by multiplying .02 and 360. That equals $7.20.
10>7.20 and therefore the answer would be 10 dollars aka C.
324 is exactly three times 108. Thus, the product of 324 and 4 is exactly three times the product of 108 and 4.
What is product?
In mathematics, a product is the outcome of multiplying two or more numbers together.
The outcome of multiplication is a product, or a factor, which is an expression that specifies the objects (numbers or variables) to be multiplied.
For instance, the result of multiplying 2 and 5 together is 10, or the product. Math requires a lot of multiplication.
Explanation:
Since, 324 is exactly three times 108,
324 = 3 x 108.
Therefore,
324 x 4 = (3 x 108) x 4
324 x 4 = 3 x (108 x 4)
Solving,
108 x 4 = 432
therefore,
324 x 4 = 3 x 432
324 x 4 = 1296.
As, shown above we can use the product of 108 and 4 to find the product of 324 and 4.
Thus, you multiply the product of 108*4 by thee to get 324*4
Therefore, 324 is exactly three times 108. Thus, the product of 324 and 4 is exactly three times the product of 108 and 4.

Answer:
Sun is cm away from alpha century.
Sun is m.
Sun is 1.391016 time the size of an atom at this scale.
Step-by-step explanation:
Light year is a measure of distance. It is the distance light travels in an year.
Light year = km
So 4.4 light years = km
km
Lets scale this down to the level of
km
= km
Change the units to centimeters:
cm
= cm
= cm
Therefore on the new scale sun is cm away from alpha century.
Diameter of the sun is 1.391016 million km
Lets change Sun's diameter to the new scale:
km
=km
Lets change kilometers in to meters:
m
=m
Therefore, sun is m
and an atom is
Therefore the sun is 1.391016 time the size of an atom at this scale.
On a 1-to-10^19 scale, the distance from the Sun to the Alpha Centauri is about 44 cm. On this same scale, the Sun itself would have a diameter of about 150 picometers, which is larger than a typical atom.
The 1-to-10^19 scale means for every actual meter in space, we represent 10^19 meters on our model. The Alpha Centauri is 4.4 light-years away from the sun. Considering 1 light-year equals to approximately 9.46x10^15 meters, the real distance from the sun to Alpha Centauri is about 4.16x10^16 meters. So, on the scale, this is about 0.44 meters or 44 cm.
The Sun's real size, with a diameter of 1.5 million kilometers or 1.5x10^9 meters, is represented as 1.5x10^-10 meters or 150 picometers on the scale. This is much bigger than an actual atom, which has a diameter of 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers or 100 to 500 picometers. Hence, on this scale, the Sun would be larger than a typical atom.
