Katoomba Scenic Railway in Australia is the steepest railway in the world. The railway makes an angle of about 52 degrees with the ground. The railway extends horizontally about 458 feet. What is the height of the railway? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the railway = 361 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by applying the required trigonometric function. Let the height of the railway be represented by h.

Sin θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Sin 52 = [tex]\frac{h}{458}[/tex]

h = Sin 52 x 458

  = 0.788 x 458

  = 360.904

h = 361

So that, the railway is 361 feet high.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Prove that the product of the second and third numbers out of four consecutive whole numbers is two greater than the product of the first and the fourth numbers.


2. Prove that the square of the second number out of three consecutive odd numbers is four greater than the product of the first and third numbers.

Answers

Answer:

1.

(x+1)(x+2)>x(x+3)

x^2+2x+x+2>x^2+3x

x^2+3x+2>x+3x

2>0

2.

(x+2)^2>x(x+4)

x^2+4x+4>x^2+4x

4>0

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Suppose x is the lowest number in the set of 4 consecutive numbers, then x+1, x+2, and x+3 are then the next numbers in the sequence since they are the next whole numbers.

Then, to follow the conditions of the problem, we make the equation:

(x+1)(x+2)>x(x+3)

Using the formula of (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd, we can expand both sides of the equation into this:

x^2+2x+x+2>x^2+3x

=x^2+3x+2>x^2+3x

We can then cancel x^2+2x from both sides and we are left with 2>0.

2.

Again, suppose x is the lowest value in the set of consecutive numbers. In this case, odd numbers increase by 2 each time so the series of numbers are:

x, x+2, x+4

Therefore, to follow the conditions of the problem, we make the equation:

(x+2)^2>x(x+4)=

(x+2)(x+2)>x(x+4)

Using the same formula of (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd, we get:

x^2+4x+4>x^2+4x

Cancel x^2+4x from both sides and we are left with 4>0

Step-by-step explanation:

First find prime factorization of the numbers

280=2^3(5)7

112=2^4(7)

140=2^2(5)7

So the HCF is 2^2(7)=4(7)

HCF=28

Answer:

∠1 = 42°

∠2 = 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

∠WZY = 138°

Find:

∠1

∠2

∠3

∠4

∠5

Computation:

WZ = ZY

So,

∠3 = ∠5

So,

∠3 + ∠5 + 138 = 180

2∠3 = 42

∠3 = 21°

∠5 = 21°

∠1 = 180 - 138

∠1 = 42°

∠W = ∠Y

∠X + ∠Y + ∠W = 180

42 + ∠Y + ∠W = 180

∠Y = 69

∠2 = 69 - 21

∠2 = 48°

∠4 = 48°

Annie wants to eat an entire donut. However, since she only two-years-old, the mother says she can
only have a third of the donut. If the diameter of the donut is 4 inches, how long is the outside edge of
the piece that Annie gets to eat? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of an inch.

Answers

Answer:

4.19 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Your goal is to find the circumference of the donut and then divide that by 3 to get 1/3 of the outer edge of the donut.

Circumference is 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r

The diameter (double the radius) is 4, so radius (r) is 2

2 * pi * 2 = 4 pi = 12.57 (round to hundredth)

12.57/3 = 4.19

keep in mind that dividing by 3 is the same as multiplying by 1/3

2. f(x) means that we have a function of x.

3. The zero of the function f(x)=2x-2 is the x-value that makes f(x) = 0.

4. So we can just set the function equal to 0, and then solve for x!

Step-by-step explanation:

Show that the area of triangle DEF is 11 cm2.​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

The length CD can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.

  CF² + CD² = DF²

  2² + CD² = (2√10)²

  CD² = 40 -4 = 36

  CD = √36 = 6

From here, any of several methods could be used to find the area of ΔDEF.

One of them is to subtract the areas of the triangles that are not ΔDEF from the area of the rectangle ABCD.

  area ABCD = bh = (6 cm)(5 cm) = 30 cm²

  area ΔADE = 1/2bh = 1/2(4 cm)(5 cm) = 10 cm²

  area ΔBEF = 1/2bh = 1/2(2 cm)(3 cm) = 3 cm²

  area ΔCDF = 1/2bh = 1/2(6 cm)(2 cm) = 6 cm²

Then the area of interest is ...

  area ΔDEF = area ABCD -area ΔADE -area ΔBEF -area ΔCDF

  area ΔDEF = (30 -10 -3 -6) cm²

  area ΔDEF = 11 cm²

__

Alternate solution

If we define A as the origin of a coordinate system, then the coordinates of the vertices of ΔDEF are ...

  D(0, 5), E(4, 0), F(6, 3)

The area can be computed as half the absolute value of the sum of the determinants of 2×2 matrices consisting of adjacent points.

  [tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\left|\left|\begin{array}{cc}0&5\\4&0\end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{cc}4&0\\6&3\end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{cc}6&3\\0&5\end{array}\right| \right|\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}|(0-20)+(12-0)+(30-0)|=\dfrac{1}{2}(22) = \boxed{11}[/tex]

_____

Additional comment

The solution using coordinates is effectively equivalent to the computation of the area of trapezoid ABFD, less the areas of triangles EBF and AED.

Each car on a computer train holds 20 people. On a particular morning, 5 cars were 90% full and 3 cars were 65% full. If the people were rearranged to fill as many cars as possible, how many cars would be filled?

Answers

Answer:

7 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of cars to be filled is shown below:

A car that is 90% full and the total people is 20 so 90% would be

= (.90)(20)

= 18

A car that is 65% full and the total people is 20 so 65% would be

= (.65)(20)

= 13

Now

Total number of people = (5)(18) + (3)(13).

= 129

Now the number of cars to be filled is

= 129 ÷ 20

= 6.45

= 7 cars
