In traveling across flat land, you see a mountain directly in front of you. Its angle of elevation (to the peak) is 3.5°. After

you drive 19 kilometers closer to the mountain, the angle of elevation is 9° (see the following figure).
Approximate the height of the mountain (in kilometers). (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

The height of the mountain is 0. 2 km

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

First, let's find the hypotenuse of the second triangle

Using the tangent identity, we have;

tan θ = opposite/ adjacent

tan 3. 5 = x/ 19

cross multiply

x = tan 3 . 5 × 19

x = 0. 061 × 19

x = 1. 16 km

Now, we have the hypotenuse side of the second triangle and we need to find the opposite side which is the height of the mountain

Using the sine identity:

sin 9 = y/ 1.16

cross multiply

y = sin 9 × 1. 16

y = 0. 1564 × 1. 16

y = 0. 18 km

y = 0. 2 km in one decimal place

Thus, the height of the mountain is 0. 2 km

Westkost [7]

Answer:

dy/dx = -b/a cot α

Step-by-step explanation:

x² / a² + y² / b² = 1

Take derivative with respect to x.

2x / a² + 2y / b² dy/dx = 0

2y / b² dy/dx = -2x / a²

dy/dx = -b²x / (a²y)

Substitute:

dy/dx = -b²a cos α / (a²b sin α)

dy/dx = -b cos α / (a sin α)

dy/dx = -b/a cot α

erica [24]

Answer:

$88 in total

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of hours

y = total cost to rent the snowboard.

$25 is already guaranteed

25 + 15.75x = y

since it is 4 hours from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. you put 4 into x.

25+15.75(4) = y

88 = y
