I'm looking at the top at 79.9 angle. I'm 100ft away. What's the height of the building?

To solve this, notice that you have the angle component (I will call this a) and the x-component (the distance of you from the building) of a trig formula, and you are looking for the y-component. We will use the tangent formula, since this incorporates the angle, x, and y components.

1. Write the formula

tan(a) = y ÷ x

2. Rewrite to include the known values.

tan(79.9) = y ÷ 100

3. Solve for the unknown variable, y.

tan(79.9) × 100 = y ÷ 100 × 100

tan(79.9) × 100 = y

4. A fancy step that I call the "flip flop."

y = tan(79.9) × 100

5. Use a calculator to find the value (make sure the calculator is in "degree" and not "radians" mode).

y = 561.3968

6. Round the number as is appropriate for this problem.

Have a great day!

So this is a trig problem

so you have a right triangle
base=100 ft
from wher you are standing, it is a 79.9 angle to the top
we want to find the height of the tower or the opposite side
the base is  the adjacent side so you are looking for o/a or tan(79.9) since you know one of the sides so therefor
tan(79.9)=h/100
evaluate tan(79.9)
tan(79.9)=5.61396
5.61396=h/100
multiply both sides by 100
561.396=h
round to tenths place
561.4
the height=561.4 ft

A)clara believes the sequence 3,9,27,81,243 is arithmetic. Do you agree with clara?Explain your reasoning.
allsm [11]
This is NOT an arithmetic sequence because there is no common difference.  It is a geometric sequence because there is a common ratio.  Meaning that each term is a constant ratio or multiple of the previous term.  The recursive rule for this geometric sequence is:

a(n)=3*a(n-1), a(1)=3

Two number cubes are rolled in a board game. What is the probability that both number cubes land on the same number?

50% chance they will land on the same number and there’s also a 50% chance they won’t.

when a probability is expressed as a fraction, what does the bottom number represents A. the number of possible out comes B. the
masya89 [10]

Answer:

A. the number of possible out comes

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the chance of an event/something to happen.

The formula is;

Probability = the number of ways of achieving success/Total number of outcomes

The numerator position will have a value to show the number of ways of achieving success while the denominator will show the number of outcomes

For example the number of possible outcomes when a coin is flipped is 2, a tail or a head. So the probability of getting a head is P(H)= 1/2 where 2 is the number of outcomes

Nathan needs some paint for his bedroom. He finds two cans of white paint, four cans of green paint and three cans of pink paint
horsena [70]

The probability of randomly selecting a can of pink paint is P = 1/3, so the correct option is A.

<h3>What is the chance that he will paint his bedroom pink?</h3>

Assuming that all the cans of paint have the same probability of being randomly selected, the probability that he will choose a pink can is equal to the quotient between the number of pink cans and the total number of cans.

There are 2 cans of white, 4 cans of green, and 3 cans of pink, so a total of 9 cans.

Then the probability is:

P = 3/9 = 1/3.

The correct option is A.
