You are measuring the height of a statue. You stand 5 feet from the base of the statue. You measure the angle of elevation from

the ground to the top of the statue to be 68º. Find the height h of the statue to the nearest foot.

Answer:

The height of the statue is 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

tan(68^o)=\frac{AB}{BC} ---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

substitute the given values

tan(68^o)=\frac{AB}{5}

solve for AB (the height of the statue)

AB=tan(68^o)(5)=12\ ft

therefore

The height of the statue is 12 feet

Consider the graph of the line y = .5x- 4 and the point
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

slope of parallel line and perpendicular line are 5 and -1/5 espectively

equation of parallel and perpendicular line are y = 5x + 22 y= \frac{-1}{5} x+\frac{6}{5} respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x - 4 is in the form

y = mx + c

where m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept of thr line

therefore slope of the line = 5 and y intercept = -4

when an another line is parallel to the given line then the slope of both the lines are equal

therefore the slope the parallel line = 5

equation of a line passing through a given point (x_{1} ,y_{1}) with slope m is given by y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1} )

given (x_{1} ,y_{1})= (-4,2)

therefore equation of line y-2 = 5(x+4)

therefore y = 2+ 5x+20

y = 5x + 22is the eqaution of required line.

when two lines are perpendiculer then

m_{1} m_{2}=-1

where m_{1} and m_{2} are slope of the lines therefore

m×5=-1

therefore m= \frac{-1}{5}

therefore eqaution of line passing through (-4,2) and with slope m= \frac{-1}{5} is given by y - 2= \frac{-1}{5} (x+4)

y= \frac{-1}{5} x+\frac{6}{5}

Twice b is at least 30.
zlopas [31]
B is at least 15

Explanation:
If 2b = at least 30, the b is at least 15, because 15 • 2 = 30

Hope this helps!
