Two walls of a canyon form the walls of a steady flowing river. From a point on the shorter wall, the angle of elevation to the top of the opposing wall is 20° and the angle of depression to the bottom of the opposing wall is 230 feet. Using the appropriate right triangle solving strategies, solve for the following: (Do not round intermediate calculated values. Only the final answer should be rounded to one decimal place.)

the height of the short wall (x)
the height of the tall wall (y)

Two Walls Of A Canyon Form The Walls Of A Steady Flowing River. From A Point On The Shorter Wall, The

Answers

Answer 1

We found that the height of the short wall "x" is 162.6 ft, the height of the tall wall "y" is 221.8 ft, and the distance between the canyon walls "z" is 162.6 ft.

To find the x, y, and z values we need to denote the right triangles from top to bottom as triangles 1, 2, and 3.

1. Finding the height of the short wall "x"

We can find the height of the short wall "x" (in triangle 3) with the following trigonometric function:

[tex] cos(\theta) = \frac{x}{H} [/tex]

Where:

H: is the hypotenuse = 230 ft

θ: is the angle between x and H.

Knowing that the sum of θ and the angle 45° must be equal to 90°, θ is:

[tex] \theta = 90 - 45 = 45 [/tex]

Hence, the height of the short wall "x" is:

[tex]x = cos(\theta)*H = 230cos(45) = 162.6 ft[/tex]                

2. Finding the height of the tall wall "y"  

The height of the tall wall "y" is given by the sum of the bases of the two first right triangles (the right triangles 1 and 2):

[tex] y = y_{1} + y_{2} [/tex]        

Where y₁ and y₂ can be calculated with the tangent and sine trigonometric functions.  

[tex]y_{1} = A*tan(20)[/tex]        

[tex] y_{2} = 230sin(45) [/tex]

Where A is the adjacent side to the angle 20°.

[tex] y = A*tan(20) + 230sin(45) [/tex]      

Since the right triangles 2 and 3 form a square, with all the sides equals to x, we have:        

[tex] A = z = y_{2} = x = 230cos(45) [/tex]        

We can use 230cos(45) or 230sin(45) to calculate y₂, so the height of the tall wall "y" is:      

[tex] y = y_{1} + y_{2} = A*tan(20) + 230cos(45) = 230cos(45)tan(20) + 230cos(45) = 221.8 ft [/tex]                        

3. Finding the distance between the canyon walls "z"

As we said above, the "z" value is the same as "x", then:

[tex]z = x = 230cos(45) = 162.6 ft[/tex]

Answers

Answer:  10

====================================================

Explanation:

The two smaller triangles are proportional, which lets us set up this equation

5/n = n/15

Cross multiplying leads to

5*15 = n*n

n^2 = 75

----------

Apply the pythagorean theorem on the smaller triangle on top, or on the right.

a^2+b^2 = c^2

5^2+n^2 = m^2

25+75 = m^2

100 = m^2

m^2 = 100

m = sqrt(100)

m = 10

The estimate obtained from a sample of which of the following sizes would most likely be closest to the actual parameter value of a population?

Answers

To obtain an estimate of a parameter of a population, we use confidence intervals.

Confidence intervals:

The larger the sample size, the closest the parameter estimate is to the value of the population, as the margin of error of confidence intervals is inversely proportional to the sample size, that is, a greater sample leads to a smaller margin of error.

Thus, you should select the highest sample size in the options.

y · 83.75 = 5 · 670

83.75y = 3350

83.75y ÷ 83.75 = 3350 ÷ 83.75

y = 40

The amount of rice you can buy for ₹670 is given by the equation

A = 40 kilograms

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the amount of rice for ₹670 be A

Now , the equation will be

The amount for 5 kg of rice = ₹ 83.75

So , the amount for 1 kg of rice = amount for 5 kg of rice / 5

The amount for 1 kg of rice = 83.75 / 5

The amount for 1 kg of rice = ₹ 16.75

So , the amount of rice for ₹ 670 = 670 / amount for 1 kg of rice

The amount of rice for ₹ 670 = 670 / 16.75

The amount of rice for ₹ 670 = 40 kilograms

Therefore , the value of A is 40 kilograms

Hence , the amount of rice is 40 kg

Answers

Answer:

In recreational mathematics, a square array of numbers, usually positive integers, is called a magic square if the sums of the numbers in each row, each column, and both main diagonals are the same.[1][2] The order of the magic square is the number of integers along one side (n), and the constant sum is called the magic constant. If the array includes just the positive integers {\displaystyle 1,2,...,n^{2}}{\displaystyle 1,2,...,n^{2}}, the magic square is said to be normal. Some authors take magic square to mean normal magic square.[3]

The smallest (and unique up to rotation and reflection) non-trivial case of a magic square, order 3

Magic squares that include repeated entries do not fall under this definition and are referred to as trivial. Some well-known examples, including the Sagrada Família magic square and the Parker square are trivial in this sense. When all the rows and columns but not both diagonals sum to the magic constant we have semimagic squares (sometimes called orthomagic squares).

The mathematical study of magic squares typically deals with its construction, classification, and enumeration. Although completely general methods for producing all the magic squares of all orders do not exist, historically three general techniques have been discovered: by bordering method, by making composite magic squares, and by adding two preliminary squares. There are also more specific strategies like the continuous enumeration method that reproduces specific patterns. Magic squares are generally classified according to their order n as: odd if n is odd, evenly even (also referred to as "doubly even") if n is a multiple of 4, oddly even (also known as "singly even") if n is any other even number. This classification is based on different techniques required to construct odd, evenly even, and oddly even squares. Beside this, depending on further properties, magic squares are also classified as associative magic squares, pandiagonal magic squares, most-perfect magic squares, and so on. More challengingly, attempts have also been made to classify all the magic squares of a given order as transformations of a smaller set of squares. Except for n ≤ 5, the enumeration of higher order magic squares is still an open challenge. The enumeration of most-perfect magic squares of any order was only accomplished in the late 20th century.

Magic squares have a long history, dating back to at least 190 BCE in China. At various times they have acquired occult or mythical significance, and have appeared as symbols in works of art. In modern times they have been generalized a number of ways, including using extra or different constraints, multiplying instead of adding cells, using alternate shapes or more than two dimensions, and replacing numbers with shapes and addition with geometric operations.
