Refer to the attached image.

Let the height of the Empire State Building = BC = 'x'

John is standing at distance from Empire State Building = AB = 1 mile

The angle of elevation = 11°

In triangle ABC,

Consider \tan 11^{\circ}= \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

\tan 11^{\circ}= \frac{BC}{AB}

\tan 11^{\circ}= \frac{x}{1}

0.194= \frac{x}{1}

x = 0.194 mile

Since 1 mile =5280 feet

So, x = 0.194 \times 5280

= 1024.32 feet.

So, the height of the Empire State Building is 1024.32 feet.

<span>Simplifying b4 = 9 Solving b4 = 9 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying b4 = 9 Reorder the terms: -9 + b4 = 9 + -9 Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0 -9 + b4 = 0 Factor a difference between two squares. (3 + b2)(-3 + b2) = 0</span>

In slope-intercept form, what is the equation of the line passing through the points (-4.26) and (6-4)?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

y=-3x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-4-26)/(6-(-4))

m=-30/(6+4)

m=-30/10

m=-3

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-26=-3(x-(-4))

y-26=-3(x+4)

y=-3x-12+26

y=-3x+14
