If you sketch the man and the building on paper, you'll have a
right triangle.  The right angle is the point where the wall of
the building meets the ground.  The height of the building
is one leg of the triangle, the line on the ground from the
building to the man's feet is the other leg, and the line
from his feet to the top of the building is the hypotenuse.

We need to find the angle at his feet, between the hypotenuse
and the leg of the triangle.

Well, the side opposite the angle is the height of the building -- 350ft,
and the side adjacent to the angle is the distance from him to the
building -- 1,000 ft.

The tangent of the angle is      (opposite) / (adjacent)

                                                = (350 ft)  /  (1,000 ft) = 0.350 .

To find the angle, use a book, a slide rule, a Curta, or a calculator
to find the angle whose tangent is 0.350 .

           tan⁻¹(0.350)  =  19.29° .  (rounded)

A boat makes a 120-mile trip downstream in 3 hours but makes the return trip in 4 hours. What is the rate of the current?
Gnom [1K]
With the current 40 miles per hour
Against the current 30 miles per hour
bv means boat velocity with NO current
cv means current velocity
A) bv + cv = 40 mph
B) bv - cv = 30 mph
Adding both equations:
2bv = 70
boat velocity with NO CURRENT = 35 miles per hour

Using equationA
bv + cv = 40
35 + cv = 40

current velocity = 5 miles per hour

What is 2x + 4 < 16
harina [27]

Answer:

x<6         just letting you know that / is not meant for division it means a fraction bar

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Group all constants on the right side of the inequality

2x+4<16

Subtract  from both sides

(2x+4)-4<16-4

Simplify the arithmetic

2x<16-4

Simplify the arithmetic

2x<12

2. Isolate the x

2x<12

Divide both sides by 2

(2x)/2<12/2

Simplify the fraction

x<12/2

Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator

x<6*2/1*2

Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor

x<6

3. Solution on a coordinate plane

Solution: x<6

Interval notation:

(-∞,6)

What is the lcd of this please help
Greeley [361]
LCD is least common denominator. So looking at the denominators, their factors are...
First term x^2 - 5x + 4 = (x - )( x - ). We know this because the 4 (c term)is + so both signs are the same, and both are NEGATIVE because 5 (b term) is -
= (x - 4)(x - 1) because(-1)(-4) = 4 (c term) and -1 + -4 = -5 (b term)
