See picture below for a geometric view.


Let x = height of building


We use basic trigonometry to find x.


The tangent function = opposite side of right triangle OVER adjacent side of right triangle.


tan(2°) = x/1


Solve for x.


After multiplying both sides by 1 (here 1 represents 1 mile), we get

tan(2°) = x.


We now use the calculator to find x.


In fact, you can take it from here. Use your calculator.

Surface area of a trash can plz show work
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we need to find the area of the trash can so here is the math:

The formula:

A=LxW

Replace the letters with numbers:

8=2x4

So the area is 8 feet now we can create an equation to solve how much money it would take to make the trash can:

8x0.79=$6.32

It would take $6.32 to make the trash can

How can you tell Is something is a unit rate
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Unit rate is a ratio between two different units with a denominator of one. When we divide a fraction's numerator by its denominator, the result is a value in decimal form. For example: 8/4 = 2 and 3/6 = 0.5. When we write numbers in decimal form, we can write them as a ratio with one as the denominator.

For example, we can write 2 as 2/1, and 0.5 as 0.5/1. However, since that approach can be a little clumsy, we usually drop the one. That said, it's important to remember the one is there, especially when working with unit rates.

For instance, 8 miles/4 hours = 2 miles/hour. Notice again that, while we did not include the 1, we did include the unit 'hour' Miles per hour is a familiar expression, as are unit rates such as:

interest/amount invested

revolutions/minute

salary/year

Conversationally, the word ''per'' indicates we are using a unit rate.

Answer the question math
Lerok [7]

Answer:

7y-10

Step-by-step explanation:

9y-\frac{1}{2}\left(4y+20\right)

To simplify this expression, first use the distributive property to distribute \frac{1}{2}.

9y-\frac{1}{2}(4y)+-\frac{1}{2}(20)

Simplify.

9y+-2y+-10

Combine like terms, 9y and -2y.

7y-10

The simplification of 9y-\frac{1}{2}(4y+20) is 7y-10.

I hope this helps ^^

Good luck
