Mathematica Asked by Johan Grankvist on June 16, 2021
I got a problem of which I can’t get mathematica to calculate.
The known inputs are a=17 degree, b=12 degree and side d is 300.
The whole thing is actually 4 right-angled triangles (left side as A, right side as B, the red at bottom as C and the black with the d side as D)
I’ve tried to type all the equations for the angles and sides I need to get the h value but I can’t get a reasonable output.
Remove["Global`*"]
va = 17;
vb = 12;
d = 300;
Reduce[{(Tan[va]*(Tan[vc]*d)) == (Sin[va]*(Tan[vd]*d)) == (Tan[vb]*(Cos[vc]/d)) == (Sin[vb]*(Cos[vd]/d)), Tan[vc] == (Tan[vc]*d)/d, Cos[vc] == d/(Cos[vc]/d), Tan[vd] == (Tan[vd]*d)/d, Cos[vd] == d/(Cos[vd]/d)}, h] // N
The ouput I get is
Tan[vc] == -0.275163 Tan[vd] && Sec[vd] == 1.79174 Tan[vd] &&
Sec[vc] == 1.51196 Tan[vd] && Cos[vd] == 161256. Tan[vd] &&
Cos[vc] == 136077. Tan[vd]
What is it that I’m missing?
I can’t see how else I should make the equation more elaborate to get allt the sides and angles that is needed to the the value of h.
Updated code. Now the thing is to only get h value as output
va = 17 Degree; vb = 12 Degree; d = 300;
Reduce[{(h == Tan[va]*(Tan[vc]*d)) == (Sin[va]*(Tan[vd]*d)) == (Tan[vb]*
(Cos[vc]/d)) ==(Sin[vb]*(Cos[vd]/d)), Tan[vc] == (Tan[vc]*d)/d, Cos[vc]
== d/(Cos[vc]/d),Tan[vd] == (Tan[vd]*d)/d, Cos[vd] == d/(Cos[vd]/d)}]
//N

d = 300;
Taking x
as the length from A to the base of the tower.
Reduce[{
Tan[va] == h/x,
Tan[vb] == h/Sqrt[d^2 - x^2]}] // N
x == 171.251 && h == 52.3567
You just need enough expressions to determine your system. If you add too many expressions Mathematica may not find the solution.
