The Jacobian has determinant
Step-by-step explanation:
we have a right-angled triangle :
the Hypotenuse (baseline opposite of the 90° angle) is the 850 ft cable from the top of the tower down to the point on the ground 360 ft away from the tower.
then the ground distance (360 ft) and the height of the tower are the 2 legs.
so, we can use Pythagoras
c² = a² + b²
with c being the Hypotenuse.
in our case
850² = 360² + height²
height² = 850² - 360² = 592,900
height = 770 ft
the tower is 770 ft tall.
<u>Part 1)</u> Use the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot
a) How many inches tall is a 7 foot basketball player?
we know that
1 foot=12 inches
so by proportion

therefore
<u>the answer Part 1a) is</u>

Part b) If a yard is a 3 feet long, how many inches are in a yard?
we know that
1 yard=3 feet
1 foot=12 inches
so
Convert 3 feet to inches
by proportion
therefore
<u>the answer Part 1b) is</u>

<u>Part 2) </u>At the farmer's market two pounds of peaches cost $4.20 How much will five pounds cost?
by proportion
therefore
<u>the answer Part 2) is</u>

<u>Part 3) </u>Janice mother gave her a ten dollars bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there she found that bananas were 80 c per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.
Did Janice's mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?
we know that
<u>Find the cost of the bananas</u>

<u>Find the cost of the apples</u>

Sum the cost of the bananas and the cost of the apples

------> Janice's mother didn't give her enough money
She needs more money
She needs-------> 
therefore
<u>the answer part 3) is</u>
She needs
more
8 +7m=6m (combine like terms)
8=-m ( subtract 7m on both sides)
m=8 (divide by -1)
5=-1+2n ( subtract 2n on both sides)
6=2n (add 1 on both sides)
3=n (divide by 2 on both sides)
A = ½ (b × h) is the formula! Let me know if I can help further:)
