A surveyor wants to find the height of a building. at a point 109.0 ft from the base of the building he sights to the top of the

building and finds the distance to be 194.0 ft. how high is the building​ (to the nearest​ tenth)?

Draw an illustration
We could draw an illustration of the problem by drawing a right triangle.
109 ft will be the base of the triangle, 194 ft will be the hypotenuse of the triangle, and the height of the building will be the height of the triangle.
See image attached.

Solve the problem with phytagorean theorem
For an instance, h represents the height of the building. We could find the value of h by using pythagorean theorem
a² + b² = c²
a and b act as the base and the height, c acts as the hypotenuse

in this case, we could write it as below
h² + 109² = 194²

Solve the equation
h² + 109² = 194²
h² = 194² - 109²
h² = 37,636 - 11,881
h² = 25,755
h = √25,755
h = 160.4836
To the nearest tenth
h = 160.5

The building is 160.5 ft high

Write an inequality, in slope-intercept form, for the graph below. If necessary,
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:not 100 % sure but I can write a slope intercept form equation, but not an inequality. I would need a picture of the graph to write an inequality.

First find slope: (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)   Slope is 3

Choose a point then use point slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1)      It is y - 1 = 3(x - 1)

Now simplify:

y - 1 = 3(x - 1)

y - 1 = 3x - 3

y = 3x - 2

y = 3x - 2
