To find: Height of the point where two triangular section of the monument meets andlength of each triangular section
Answer to Problem 7PS
Length of each section is 252.5 feet.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The tops of the two triangular section can be approx. modelled by the equations:
The tops of the triangular section can be modeled as a linear equation and given as:
Adding the equations.
Solve for y
Substituting the value of y in second equation,
Substituting value of y
Hence, the triangular model intersects at (0.10.10).
The height of the point where the sections intersects is 10.10 feet -
The length of each section can be found out by finding the intersection paint of
one of the equation.
Solving equation for x
Hence, length of each section is 252.5 feet.
