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

Find the slope intercept form of the equation of the line that’s has the given properties (1 , 3) m=1/4
Helga [31]

Answer:

y = 1/4x + 11/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the slope, m = 1/4, and the point, (1, 3):

We can substitute these values into the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, in order to solve for the y-intercept.  

The y-coordinate (b) of the point, (0, <em>b </em>) is the <u>y-intercept </u>of the line where the graph of the linear equation crosses the y-axis. The y-intercept is also the value of y when x = 0.

y = mx + b

3 = 1/4(1) + b

3 = 1/4 + b

Subtract 1/4 from both sides:

3 - 1/4 = 1/4 - 1/4 + b

11/4 = b

The y-coordinate, b, of the y-intercept is 11/4.

Therefore, the slope-intercept form is: y = 1/4x + 11/4
