A diagram would surely help here.  But imagine that you stand at spot A and someone finds that your distance from the base of the building is 42 feet.  Call this point B.
 
Imagine a vertical line from that spot, straight up.  Label the top of this line C.

The acute angle at A is 67 degrees.  You want to find the height of the building, which would be the length of the "opposite side of triangle ABC."
The length of the "adjacent side of triangle ABC" would be 42 feet.

We don't know the length of the hypotenuse, altho' we could easilyl calculate it using the Pyth. Them.

We choose the tangent function to solve for the height of the building (which is the length of the opposite side. 

                                                                         height
By definition, tangent (67 degrees) = -------------------------------------
                                                                       42 feet

Find tan 67.  Multiply your result by 42 feet.  This product is the height of the building.

The student council is making corsages to sell at prom. They spent $350 on materials such as
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The inequality 7.50c - 350 ≥ 700 can be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount spent on materials = $350

Amount the council needs to earn = $700

Selling price per corsage = $7.50

Number of corsages sold = c

Selling price per corsage * Number of corsages sold - amount spent on materials ≥ amount needs to be earned

7.50c - 350 \geq 700

Hence,

The inequality 7.50c - 350 ≥ 700 can be used.
