Angle of elevation remains same as they are alternative angles

cosØ=Base/Hypotenuse
cos31=400/x
x=400/cos31
x=466.65ft

Find y

tanØ=Perpendicular/Base
tan31=y/400
y=400tan31
y=240.34ft

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the top angle of the triangle :

They are complementary
90° - 31°
59°

Take the tan value of this angle to find y :

tan 59° = 400/y
1.66427948 =400/y
y = 400 / 1.66427948
y = 240.344248

Using Pythagorean Theorem to find x :

y² + 400² = x²
x = √(240.344248)² + 160000
x = √57765.3575 + 160000
x = √217765.357
<u>x = 466.7 feet</u> (nearest tenth)

The graph of a proportional relationship passes through (9, 18) and (1, y). Find y.

spayn [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it's a proportional relationship and it goes through the point (9, 18) the equation is y = 2x so when x = 1, y = 2.

Find the missing b for a trapezoid with a=68, h=4, b=21

MAVERICK [17]

We will have to use the formula for the area of a trapezoid on this problem, which is ( $b_1$ and $b_2$ are the bases of the trapezoid and $h$ is the height):

$\dfrac{b_1 + b_2}{2} \cdot h$

All we need to do is substitute the information we are given into our formula:

$\dfrac{21 + b_2}{2} \cdot 4 = 68$

Now, let's just simplify the equation:

$\dfrac{21 + b_2}{2} \cdot 4 = 68$

$\dfrac{21 + b_2}{2} = 17$

$21 + b_2 = 34$

$b_2 = 13$

The missing base has a length of 13 units.
