The horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship will be 1140 feet.

<h3>What is trigonometry?</h3>

Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics which set up a relationship between the sides and angle of the right-angle triangles.

Given that:-

  • The angle is = 45
  • The height of the skyscraper is 1140 feet.

The horizontal distance will be calculated by applying the angle property in the right angle triangle.

tan45  =  (  P  /  B  )

B  =  P  /  tan45

B  =  P                                 Since ( tan45 =1 )

B  =  1140 feet.

Therefore the horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship will be 1140 feet.

Answer: The answer is -4

Step-by-step explanation:−40=12x+8

Step 1: Flip the equation.

12x+8=−40

Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides.

12x+8−8=−40−8

12x=−48

Step 3: Divide both sides by 12.

12x

12

=

−48

12

x=−4

Answer:

x=−4

Write the linear equation in Slope intercept form for a slope of 5/2 and a y- point
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Y = (5/2)x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to make a couple of things clear:

A <em>linear equation</em> has no powers, meaning it makes a straight line.

<em>Slope-intercept</em> form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope, x is, well, x, and b is the intercept.

y and x will both remain as variables in our final solution.

That all said, now we just need to plug in what we were given.

Y = (5/2)x + 3, since our slope is 5/2 and our intercept is 3.

Hope this helps! Now anything you plug in as x will tell you the y-value on this specific line.
