First, you will need to find the percentage of shots made for each person, or you can find the least common denominator. This is because it makes it easier to see how the numbers compare to each other in size. You can find the percentage of shots made by looking at how many shots a person made and dividing it by the total shots that person made, which us the denominator. Then, you would take the decimal and move it two places to the right. Once you find the percentages of all three people, you can then compare the percentages to each other. In this case, the higher the percentage, the better the shooter that person is.

Schach [20]

Answer: 26.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached you can see two right triangles  triangle ABD and a triangle ACD.

You are located at point B and the other person at point C.

The approximate height of the lifeguard station is <em>x</em>.

Keep on mind that:

tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Therefore:

<em>For the triangle ABD</em>:

tan(36\°)=\frac{x}{DC+11}    [EQUATION 1]

<em>For the triangle ACD:</em>

tan(46\°)=\frac{x}{DC}    [EQUATION 2]

Solve from DC from [EQUATION 2]:

DC=\frac{x}{tan(46\°)}

Substitute into [EQUATION 1] and solve for x:

tan(36\°)=\frac{x}{(\frac{x}{tan(46\°)}+11)}\\tan(36\°)(\frac{x}{tan(46\°)}+11)=x\\11*tan(36\°)=x-\frac{xtan(36\°)}{tan(46\°)}\\7.991=0.298x

x=26.81ft≈26.8ft

Can some help with this question
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

y + 1 = 3(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given point is (1,-1) meaning that x1 = 1 and y1 = -1

The slope of this line is m = 3 because we go up 3 and over to the right 1 (eg: go from the point (1,-1) to (2,2) to see this in action)

Plug these three pieces of info into the point slope formula below

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1) = 3(x - 1)

y + 1 = 3(x - 1)
