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.

Joe has a bag of blocks. 3 red blocks and 2 blue blocks weigh 24 ounces while 1 red block and 3 blue blocks weigh 16 ounces. Def
fredd [130]

Answer: 3r + 2b = 24

r + 3b = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the red blocks be represented by r

Let blue blocks be represented by b

Since 3 red blocks and 2 blue blocks weigh 24 ounces. This will be:

3r + 2b = 24

1 red block and 3 blue blocks weigh 16 ounces. This will be:

r + 3b = 16

Therefore, the equation will be:

3r + 2b = 24

r + 3b = 16

You are carpeting a room in a house for your job. You have a boss that likes to play jokes, so instead of just giving you the di

Answer:

x^2-4x+3

63\ \text{sq. units}

Step-by-step explanation:

l = Length = \dfrac{x^2-x-6}{x-5}

w = Width = \dfrac{x^2-6x+5}{x+2}

Area is given by

A=lw\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{x^2-x-6}{x-5}\times\dfrac{x^2-6x+5}{x+2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{x^2-3x+2x-6}{x-5}\times\dfrac{x^2-5x-1x+5}{x+2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{(x-3)(x+2)}{x-5}\times\dfrac{(x-5)(x-1)}{x+2}\\\Rightarrow A=(x-3)(x-1)\\\Rightarrow A=x^2-4x+3

Area of the room is x^2-4x+3.

If x=10

Area of the room

A=x^2-4x+3=10^2-4\times 10+3\\\Rightarrow A=63\ \text{sq. units}

So, the amount of carpet needed would be 63\ \text{sq. units}.
