The height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.

<h3>How to determine the height</h3>

From the information given, we have:

angle of elevation = 32°
length of the base, adjacent side = 376 meters
height of the skyscraper, opposite side = x meters

To determine the height of the elevator, let's use the tangent identity

We have that;

tan θ = opposite/ adjacent

The value of the opposite side is 'x' which is the height of the skyscraper and the value of the adjacent side is 376 meters which is the length of the base of the skyscraper

Now, substitute the values, we have;

tan 32 = x/ 376

cross multiply

x = tan 32 × 376

x = 0. 6249 × 376

x = 234. 95 meters

We know that the 'x' represents the opposite side and thus the height of the skyscraper

Thus, the height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.

What is the missing justification in the proof?

nataly862011 [7]

The missing justification in the proof is
B) Substitution property of equality

The expression for sin² x and cos² x is substituted to the other side of the equation. Since sin x = a/c, then sin² x = a²/c². Similarly, since cos x = b/c, then cos² x = b²/c². Adding to two results to the third statement.

What's 99.1 ×0.16 (must show work)

wariber [46]

99.1
x0.16

6(1)=6
6(9)=54. Put down the 4 and carry the 5.
6(9)=54+5= 59.

You work in reverse, so our last number should be first and our first number last. So the first number is: 5946

Our next row, we put down a 0 and then continue.
1(1)=1
1(9)=9
1(1)=9

Our second number is 9910.

Add the two: 5946+9910=15856

Count the number lf decimal places. In this case, three. Move the decimal 3 places left: 15.856

I always double check using a calculator.

**Sorry the methods it's written out in isn't better, but I can't upload pictures. Hope it helps.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points

zubka84 [21]

Answer (assuming it can be in slope-intercept form):

y = x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the equation. Use the slope formula, $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , and substitute the x and y values of the given points into it. Then, solve:

$m = \frac{(2)-(1)}{(7)-(6)} \\m = \frac{2-1}{7-6} \\m = \frac{1}{1} \\m = 1$

2) Now that we know the slope and at least one point the line crosses through, we can write an equation of the line in point-slope form, or $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ . Substitute $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ for real values.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute 1 for it. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects, use any one of the given points (either one is fine, either way the equation will represent the same line) and substitute its x and y values into the equation. (I chose the point (6, 1), as seen below.) Finally, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form.

$y-1 = 1(x-6)\\y -1 = x-6\\y = x -5$

Consider the universal set R,R, define the interval A=[−7,1],A=[−7,1], interval B=(−1,5),B=(−1,5), and CC be the negative real n

AURORKA [14]

Draw a diagram representing the real number line, and the sets A and B.

According to the diagram:

1. A∪B= [-7, 5)

2. 2. A∩B∩C= (-1, 0)

3. A∩(B∪C)= [-7, 1] ∩ (-INFINITY, 5) = [-7, 1]

4. 4. A^c ∪ B^c∪ C^c= (not A) ∪ (not B) ∪ (not C) =

(-infinity, -7) ∪ (1, infinity) ∪ (-infinity, -1] ∪ [5, infinity) ∪ [0, infinity)

= (-infinity, -1] ∪ (1, infinity ) ∪ [0, infinity) = (-infinity, -1] ∪ [0, infinity)

5. (C−A)∪(B−C)= "in C but not in A" union "in B but not in C"

=(-infinity, -7) ∪ [0, 5)
