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)

Answer:

Angle A < Angle C < Angle B

CD<DE<CE

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles and the sides across from them have a specific relationship. Th smaller the angle or openness then the smaller the side. The larger the angle the larger the side. Since Angle A opposite side is 10 it is smaller than Angle B whose opposite side is 20. Since Angle C's opposite side is between the two, you can conclude that Angle A < Angle C < Angle B.

We can do the same for the other triangle knowing Angle D is 61 and Angle DCE is 60 (vertical angle theorem). Since a triangle's angles add to 180 then 180-61-60=59. Angle E is 59 degrees and since it is the smallest will have the smallest side CD. Angle DCE is the next largest and its oppposite side of DE will next followed by CE. You can conclude that CD<DE<CE

Step-by-step explanation:

V=(4/3) * πr^3

V=(4/3) * π * 7.6 ^3

V=(4/3) * π * 438.976

V= π * 585.301333

V = 1837.85 inch^3

Solve for x:<br> I need a answer with an explanation. Algebra 1
kirill115 [55]

Answer: x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to convert to the same base

\frac{1}{16}  = \frac{1}{2^{4} } = 2^{-4}

So

2^{-4} = 2^{-2x-6}

For these values to be equal, the exponents have to be equal

-4 = -2x - 6

2 = -2x

x = -1
