We use trigonometry for this problem. You might have learned about SOH CAH TOA. In right triangles, when given an angle, you can name the three sides of the triangle a certain part: Opposite, Adjacent, and Hypotenuse.

For this problem, we are given the angle and the ADJACENT length (73). We want to find the OPPOSITE side's length.
TOA
We must use the tangent function.

TOA helps us remember this relationship:
tan( theta ) = opposite / adjacent.

Plug in our values:

tan(29 degrees) = opposite / 73

Multiply by 73 to isolate "opposite" and solve for it.

73 * tan(29) = opposite.

Using a calculator, the answer is approximately 40.46 ft.

if the two linear functions are represented two different forms the _____ is used to compare the steepness of the two functions&
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The above statement

Required

What compares the steep of linear functions

Literally, steepness means slope.

So, when the slope of the two linear functions are calculated, we can make comparison between the calculated slopes to determine which of the functions is steeper or less steep.

Also:

Higher slope means steeper line

e.g.

4 is steeper than 1

How many solutions are there to the equation below? |x| = -31​
ella [17]

Break down the problem into these two equations;

x = -31

-x = -31

Solve for the 1st equation; x = -31

x = -31

Solve for the 2nd equation; -x = -31

x = 31

Collect all solutions

x = ±31

Check the solution

When x = -31, the original equation; |x| = -31 does not hold true. Thus, we will drop x = -31 from the solution set.

Check the solution again;

When x = 31, the original equation |x| = -31 does not hold true as well. Thus we will drop x = 31 from the solution set.

Therefore,

<u>No solution exists to this equation. </u>
