  • P=100ft
  • H=135ft

We need base

Apply Pythagorean theorem

  • B²=H²-P²
  • B²=135²-100²
  • B²=18225-10000
  • B²=8225
  • B=90.697ft
  • B=90.7ft

Answer:

90.7 ft (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, this can be modeled as a right triangle, where:

  • AB = hypotenuse = 135 ft
  • AC = height = 100 ft
  • BC = base

To find the base of the triangle (BC), use Pythagoras' Theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2  (where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse)

\implies 100^2+BC^2=135^2

\implies BC^2=135^2-100^2

\implies BC^2=8225

\implies BC=\sqrt{8225}

⇒ BC = 90.7 ft (nearest tenth)

Silvio is an air-traffic controller who must calculate the altitude of an incoming plane. He sees the plane at an angle of eleva
Mrac [35]
Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let h the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.
tan \alpha = \frac{opposite.side}{adjacent.side}
tan(40)= \frac{h}{3}
h=3tan(40)
h=2.5miles

We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is h=3tan(40).

A line that includes the points ( - 4, - 3) and ( - 3,S) has a slope of 3. What is the value of s?
Illusion [34]

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (-4, -3) and (-3, s) and the slope m = 3. Substitute:
