Angle of elevation of top of vertical cliff as seen from boat 120m away is 32degrees. Angle of elevation of top of flagpole at edge of cliff as seen from boat is 37degrees. Find the height of flagpole?
Tangent(theta) is sine over cosine, or y over x. x is 120. Theta is 32 and 37. y1 is height of cliff, and y2 is height of cliff plus flagpole.Tan(32) = y1 / 120, so y1 = 120 tan(32) = 75.Tan(37) = y2 / 120, so y2 = 120 tan(37) = 90.Height of flagpole is y2 - y1 = 90 - 75 = 15.All results rounded to nearest integer.
Which is greater tan 1tan2 tan3 .arrange them in descending order?
If the angles are measured in degrees or gradians, then: tan 3 > tan 2 > tan 1 If the angles are measured in radians, then: tan 1 > tan 3 > tan 2.
What is tan20tan32 plus tan32tan38 plus tan38tan20?
Oh honey, you're throwing some trigonometry at me? Alright, buckle up. The sum of tan20tan32 plus tan32tan38 plus tan38tan20 is equal to 1. Just plug in those values and watch the magic happen. Math can be sassy too, you know.
How can arccot of tanx be simplified?
There is not much that can be done by way of simplification. Suppose arccot(y) = tan(x) then y = cot[tan(x)] = 1/tan(tan(x)) Now cot is NOT the inverse of tan, but its reciprocal. So the expression in the first of above equation cannot be simplified further. Similarly tan[tan(x)] is NOT tan(x)*tan(x) = tan2(x)
