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.

bonufazy [111]
Ok so what you're trying to do is get L by itself so to do this you move everything to the other side:
A=L*WH
\frac{A}{WH}=L
So you answer would be: C

pychu [463]
Write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:

32 fl oz              60 min
-----------     =     ------------
      x                  135 min

Then 60x = (32)(135) = 4320, and x = 72 oz.

damron should drink 72 fl. oz. of water if he rides 135 min.

the vertices of parallelogram abcd are A(4,0,3), B(3,4,-2),C(-2,0,1). find the coodrdinates of fourth vertices
lakkis [162]

Given :

The vertices of parallelogram ABCD are A(4,0,3), B(3,4,-2),C(-2,0,1).

To Find :

The coordinates of fourth vertices.

Solution :

We know, the vertices are ABCD .

Let, point D is (x,y,z) .

Also, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Let, point of intersection of daigonal is O.

Coordinates of O are :

O_x = \dfrac{4+(-2)}{2}= 1\\\\O_y = \dfrac{0+0}{2 } = 0 \\\\O_z = \dfrac{3+1}{2}= 2

O(1,0,2)

Value of point O through BD.

O_x = \dfrac{3+x}{2}\\\\x=-1\\\\O_y = \dfrac{4+y}{2}\\\\y = -4\\\\O_z= \dfrac{-2+z}{2}\\\\z = 6

Therefore, the fourth vertices is D( -1,-4,6 ).
