Answer:

The height of the monument is 555ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to think of the problem as a right triangle, where the distance from the point to the base of the monument and the height of the monument are the legs

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse   in a right triangle

α = 11.87°

a: adjacent  = 2,640ft

o: opposite  = ?

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α = a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

is the tangent

tan α = o/a

tan 11.87 = o/2,640

tan 11.87 * 2,640 = o

554.89ft

if we want to round to the nearest foot

o = 554.89ft = 555ft

The height of the monument is 555ft

Write answer in slope intercept form (3,-8); slope= -3
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

y=-3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form is y=mx+b.

The "mx" is the slope; which in this case is -3. So -3x.

The "b" is the y-intercept, which is this case is the -8 because it is the 2nd number in the coordinate point.

This is why the answer is y=-3x-8.

You are walking along a path y= 2x + 12 and your
UNO [17]

Answer:

(-1,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

At the point when the paths cross, the respective x and y values of each equation will be equal.

Your path is y=2x+12, and your friends path is 4x+y=6. Sub 2x+12 in for y (from your path's equation) into your friends equation to find the value of x:

4x+2x+12=6

6x=-6

x=-1

y=2x+12

y=2(-1)+12=10

So you will cross paths at (-1,10)
