What are the intercepts of -3x+5y=2z=60

1 answer:

5 0

Intercept at, y=0 and at x=0
-3(0)+5(y)=60
y=12 , z= 30, (y intercept) or (0,12,30)

-3(x)+5(0)=60
x=-20,z=30, (x intercept) or (-20, 0, 60)

Question 1:

Look at the first attached image.

We want to solve for the height of the smaller building. Let's start by making a right triangle with angle of 15 degrees and adjacent side of 51 m.

Let's solve for the other leg. Multiply the tangent with 51 m to get the length of the other leg.

$51*tan(15)$
$\approx 14$

Now, subtract that from 207 to get the height of the smaller building.

$207-14=193$

That's your answer.

Question 2:

The angle of elevation is congruent to the angle of depression because they are alternate interior angles.

Thus, you can choose the 1st and 4th choices as your answer.

Question 3:

Look at the second attached image.

Angle E is congruent to angle D for the same reasons mentioned in the last question.
We can create an equation.

$3x+1=2(x+8)$

Distributive property

$3x+1=2x+16$

Subtract both sides by 1 and 2x

$x=15$

Since E and D are congruent, just plug this value into one of the equations for E or D. You get 46.

The third choice is your answer. Hope this helps! :)
