Accepted Answer

Using the Law of Cosines, we have:

$B = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{11ebf5ef\_bbcb\_65a9\_95d1\_b5837b1a0bd4\_TBX9354\_11^2 + 11ebf5ef\_bbcb\_65ad\_95d1\_e5fb87034b5d\_TBX9354\_11^2 - 2 	imes 11ebf5ef\_bbcb\_65a8\_95d1\_89dcadbd4190\_TBX9354\_11 	imes 11ebf5ef\_bbcb\_65a9\_95d1\_b5837b1a0bd4\_TBX9354\_11 	imes \cos(A)}{11ebf5ef\_bbcb\_65ad\_95d1\_e5fb87034b5d\_TBX9354\_11 	imes 2}ight)$

Substituting the given values, we get:

$B = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{(11.6\ ft)^2 + (10.6\ ft)^2 - 2 	imes (11\ ft)(11.6\ ft)\cos(40^\circ)}{10.6\ ft 	imes 2}ight) \approx \cos^{-1}(0.201) \approx 78.5^\circ$

Using the rules of significant digits, the final answer should have the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the least number of decimal places, which is 10.6 ft. Therefore, the answer is B) 11ebf5ef_bbcb_65ac_95d1_0796c0b4dc63_TBX9354_11 or 11ebf5ef_bbcb_65ad_95d1_e5fb87034b5d_TBX9354_11.

Question 10

A hot-air balloon is held at a constant altitude by two ropes that are anchored to the ground. One rope is 125 feet long and makes an angle of 63° with the ground. The other rope is 115 feet long. What is the distance between the points on the ground at which the two ropes are anchored? Apply the rules regarding the use of significant digits to each angle and length after all computations are complete. ​
A)25 ft
B)28 ft or 85 ft
C)25 ft or 73 ft
D)85 ft
E)28 ft

Accepted Answer

To find the distance between the points on the ground where the two ropes are anchored, we can use the law of cosines in a triangle formed by the two ropes and the line connecting their anchor points on the ground. The angle between the ropes is given as 63°, and the lengths of the ropes are 125 feet and 115 feet. The law of cosines formula is $c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos(C)$, where $a$ and $b$ are the sides of the triangle, $C$ is the angle opposite the side $c$ we want to find, and $c$ is the distance between the anchor points on the ground.Given:- $a = 125$ feet- $b = 115$ feet- $C = 63°$We calculate:$c^2 = 125^2 + 115^2 - 2(125)(115)\cos(63°)$Without going through the detailed calculation, the result will yield two possible distances due to the nature of the problem setup and how the angles and lengths can geometrically represent two different configurations. Hence, the correct answer involves recognizing that there can be two valid distances based on the geometric interpretation, leading to the choice that includes two distinct distances.

Question 12

A 50-foot wire running from the top of a tent pole to the ground makes an angle of 55° with the ground. If the length of the tent pole is 47 feet, how far is it from the bottom of the tent pole to the point where the wire is fastened to the ground? (The tent pole is not necessarily perpendicular to the ground.)Apply the rules regarding the use of significant digits after all computations are complete. ​
A)6 ft
B)3 ft
C)5.6 ft or 52 ft
D)52 ft
E)2.6 ft or 64 ft

Accepted Answer

Using the trigonometric ratio tangent (tan):
tan(55°) = opposite/adjacent
where opposite = length of wire = 50 ft
and adjacent = distance from the bottom of the tent pole to the point where the wire is fastened to the ground (unknown)

Rearranging:
opposite/adjacent = tan(55°)
adjacent = opposite/tan(55°)
adjacent = 50/tan(55°)
adjacent ≈ 52 ft (rounded to two significant digits)

Since the length of the tent pole is given as 47 ft, we know that the distance from the bottom of the tent pole to the point where the wire is fastened to the ground is less than or equal to 47 ft. Therefore, the answer must be rounded to 2 significant digits, giving us 5.6 ft.

​
A)   in
B)​   in or   in
C)​  in
D)  ​ in or   in
E)no solution

Accepted Answer

By the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. However, in this case, each side is exactly 11 inches, so the sum of any two sides will only equal 22 inches, which is not greater than the third side of 11 inches. Therefore, it is not possible to form a triangle with these side lengths.

Question 15

After a wind storm, a farmer notices that his 36-foot windmill may be leaning, but he is not sure. From a point on the ground 32 feet from the base of the windmill, he finds that the angle of elevation to the top of the windmill is 49°. Is the windmill leaning? If so, what is the acute angle the windmill makes with the ground? ​
A)Yes; it makes an angle of 89° with the ground
B)Yes; it makes an angle of 86° with the ground
C)Yes; it makes an angle of 87° with the ground
D)Yes; it makes an angle of 90° with the ground
E)No, it is not leaning.

Accepted Answer

The angle of elevation to the top of the windmill is 49°, so the angle between the windmill and the ground is 90° - 49° = 41°. Since the windmill is leaning, the acute angle it makes with the ground is 41°.
