By using trigonometric relations, we will see that the angle of elevation must be 55°.

<h3>How to find the angle of elevation?</h3>

We can see this as a right triangle, where one cathetus measures 1250ft (altitude) and the other cathetus measures 875ft.

The angle of elevation is the angle such that the adjacent cathetus is the one measuring 875ft.

Then we can use the relation:

tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

tan(a) = 1250ft/875ft

To find the angle of elevation, we can use the inverse tangent function:

a = Atan(1250ft/875ft) = 55°

The angle of elevation must be 55 degrees.

After a 75% reduction, you purchase a new clothes dryer for $200. What was the original price of the clothes dryer?

lesya [120]

Answer:

$800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be $x.

75% reduction ----- 100% -75%= 25%

25%x= 200

$\frac{25}{100} x = 200 \\ x = 200 \div \frac{25}{100} \\ x = 200 \times \frac{100}{25} \\ x = 800$

Thus, the original price of the clothes dryer is $800.

Write an equation to model this proportional relationship, where x represents the length of the rectangle and y represents the w

Kay [80]

When Area of rectangle is constant, then the length x is inversely proportional to the width y of the rectangle.

$x\propto \frac{1}{y}$

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by the product of the length and width of the rectangle.

Area = Length*Width

In this given problem,

The length of the rerectanglctangle is represented by x

and the width of the rectangle is represented by y

If the area of the rectangle is represented by A now.

So by the formula,

A = x*y

When A is constant then,

x = A/y

$\therefore x \propto \frac{1}{y}$

So from the above calculation we can conclude that about relation between length and width that,

"When Area of rectangle is constant, then the length x is inversely proportional to the width y of the rectangle."
