Step-by-step solution
6 stepsHere are the solutions to the problems.
10. (a)
Define variables and set up equations.
Let the length of the rectangular field be and the width be .
The area of the field is .
The fencing is for three sides: one length and two widths, as one longer side is an existing wall. So, .
The total fencing used is .Solve the system of equations.
From the area equation, .
Substitute this into the fencing equation:Multiply by to clear the denominator:
Rearrange into a quadratic equation:
Solve the quadratic equation for .
Using the quadratic formula :
Two possible values for :
Find the corresponding lengths and choose the correct dimensions.
If , then . In this case, , which contradicts the condition that the wall is one of the longer sides.
If , then . In this case, , which satisfies the condition.
The dimensions of the field are by .The dimensions of the field are .
10. (b)
Draw a diagram and identify the trigonometric relationship.
Let be the height of the building.
Let be the distance from point to the foot of the building, .
The angle of depression from the top of the building to point is . This means the angle of elevation from point to the top of the building is also .
We have a right-angled triangle where is the opposite side to the angle and is the adjacent side.Calculate the height of the building.
