The angle of elevation to the top of a Building in New York is found to be 5 degrees from the ground at a distance of 2 miles from the base of the building. Using this information, find the height of the building.

Answers

Answer 1

We are given:

Horizontal distance of the point of observation from the building = 2 miles

Angle of elevation of the building = 5 degrees

Finding the height of the Building:

Let the height of the building be x miles

In the given case, the following right-angled triangle will be formed

We know that:  Tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent

So, Tan(5°) = x / 2

0.0875 = x/2                                   [since Tan(5°) = 0.0875 ]

x = 0.175                                         [Multiplying both sides by 2]

Height in Meters:

We know that 1 mile = 1609.344 meters

So, we can say that:

1609.344 meters / 1 mile  =  1

Multiplying the height of the building by 1

0.175 miles * 1

since 1 = 1609.344 meters / 1 mile:

0.175*1609.344 meters

[tex]0.175 miles * \frac{1609.344 meters}{1 mile}[/tex]

Here, the 'miles' in the numerator and the denominator will cancel out

281.6 meters

Hence, the height of the Building is 281.6 m OR 0.175 miles

What is the zero of function f?

A. x= 1
B. x= -3
C. x= 9
D. x= -1

Answers

The answer is D


Explanation:

The zero of the given function f(x) is x = 1. The correct answer is an option (A).

To find the zero of the function f(x) = 3√(x + 3) - 6, we set the function equal to zero and solve for x:

3√(x + 3) - 6 = 0

Adding 6 to both sides:

3√(x + 3) = 6

Dividing both sides by 3:

√(x + 3) = 2

Squaring both sides to eliminate the square root:

x + 3 = 4

Subtracting 3 from both sides:

x = 1

Therefore, the zero of the function f(x) is x = 1.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

HELP. there are 45 coins consisting of nickels, dimes and quarter making a total of 7 dollars. the number of dimes exceeds the number of nickels by five how many quarters are there

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n, d, q represent the numbers of nickels, dimes, and quarters, respectively. Then we have ...

  n + d + q = 45

  5n +10d +25q = 700

  n -d = -5

__

Using n=d -5, we can substitute into the first two equations:

  (d -5) +d + q = 45

  2d +q = 50 . . . . add 5, collect terms [eq4]

__

  5(d -5) +10d +25q = 700

  15d +25q = 725 . . . . . . . . . . add 25, collect terms [eq5]

Multiplying [eq4] equation by 3 and subtracting that from 2/5 of [eq5], we have ...

  (2/5)(15d +25q) -3(2d +q) = (2/5)(725) -3(50)

  6d +10q -6d -3q = 290 -150

  7q = 140 . . . . . . simplify

  q = 20 . . . . . . . . divide by 7

There are 20 quarters.

Find x and y!
X = ?
Y = ?

Answers

Answer:

x=23

y=88

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+23 and 4x have the same degree measure because they are corresponding angles

3x+23 = 4x

x=23

4(23) + y = 180

92 + y = 180

y = 88

we’re going to set (3x + 23) and 4x equal to each other because they are consecutive interior angles

3x + 23 = 4x

subtract the 3 on both sides

23 = x

plug the x in to one of the equations

4(23) = 92

180 = 92 + y
88 = y


your final answer would be
x = 23
y = 88

The sum of three numbers is 26. The second number is twice the first and the third number is 6 more than the second. Find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are 4, 8 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine the three numbers

We start by declaring the variables

Let the three numbers be [tex]x,\ y\ and\ z\ respectively[/tex]

Next, we write the relationships between the numbers

[tex]y = 2 * x[/tex] --- Second = Twice the first

[tex]z = 6 + y[/tex] --- Third = 6 more than second

[tex]x + y + z = 26[/tex] --- Sum of the three numbers

Then, we solve for each number

[tex]y = 2 * x[/tex]

[tex]z = 6 + y[/tex]

[tex]x + y + z = 26[/tex]

Substitute 6 + y for x in [tex]x + y + z = 26[/tex]

[tex]x + y + 6 + y =26[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]x + y + y = 26 - 6[/tex]

[tex]x + 2y = 20[/tex]

Substitute 2 * x for y in [tex]x + 2y = 20[/tex]

[tex]x + 2(2*x) = 20[/tex]

[tex]x + 4*x = 20[/tex]

[tex]x + 4x = 20[/tex]

[tex]5x = 20[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{20}{5}[/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]y = 2 * x[/tex]

[tex]y = 2 * 4[/tex]

[tex]y = 8[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]z = 6 + y[/tex]

[tex]z = 6 + 8[/tex]

[tex]z = 14[/tex]

Hence, the numbers are 4, 8 and 14

To test the result:

[tex]x + y + z = 26[/tex]

[tex]4 + 8 + 14 = 26[/tex]

[tex]26= 26[/tex]

Find the equation of the line. Use exact numbers.

y=( )x + ( )

Answers

The equation should be y= -2x+5.


Write an equation of a line which has a slope of -2 and goes through the point (-4, 11).

Answers

Answer:

y -11 = -2(x+4)

or

y = -2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the point slope form of a line

y - y1 = m(x-x1)  where m is the slope and (x1 ,y1) is a point on the line

y - 11 = -2(x- -4)

y -11 = -2(x+4)

We can rewrite it in slope intercept form

y-11 = -2x-8

Add 11 to each side

y = -2x+3

Answer:

the equation would be y=-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

you are given the slope and a point on this line, and the form for an equation of a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. so since we know the slope already:

y=-2x+b

and we are given a point, (x, y), so plug in those numbers as x and y.

11=-2(-4)+b

now solve for b:

11=8+b

3=b

now plug in the slope, m, and y-intercept, b, back into the original equation:

so, y=-2x+3

A rectangular room is 12 1/2 feet long and 10 1/3 feet wide. What is the area of the room?


Answers to choose from:

B 120 1/6 square feet
C 120 1/3 square feet
D 129 1/6 square feet

Answers

Answer:

D. 129 1/6 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

L x W = A is the equation used to solve for the area of quadrilaterals

When we substitute the values of L and W for what the length and width actually are, we end up with the equation 12 1/2 x 10 1/3 = A.

Now you just need to multiply the length and width which will give you 129 1/6 square feet.
