1. Check the sketch of the problem.

2. In right triangle DCE,

 tan50= \frac{EC}{DC}= \frac{x}{50}

tan 50 can be found to be 1.19 using a scientific calculator or other software.

1.19=\frac{x}{50}

x=1.19*50=59.5 (feet)

3. The height of the building is 59.5+5=64.5 (feet)

Answer: 64.5 (feet)

What is the equation represented by the order pairs {(0,32),(1,16),(2,8),(3,4)}?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The equation represented by the ordered pair is;

y = 2^(5-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write the equation represented by the ordered pairs

From what we have in the question, we can see that while the x-values increase in arithmetic progression of 1

The y-values decrease in order of two geometrically

Thus, the equation is;

y = 2^(5-x)

Imagine you had 40 one-metre sections of fencing.
Darya [45]

Answer: If I’m not mistaken, the largest area is 75 m2 and the smallest is 2 m2

Step-by-step explanation:

For both : since they are asking for the area, you should calculate the perimeter.

So for the largest area, since you know that you have 40 fences, and each are 1 meter long, and they’re also asking for the largest rectangular area, this means that only the opposite sides will have the same length, so in order to divide the rectangle with the 40 one-meter fences, the biggest sides have to be 15 meters long (so for both : 15x2=30 meters). Then you deduct from 40, 30 : 40-30 = 10 which then you can devide by 2 and find 5 + 5 and that means that the 2 smallest sides will be 5 meters long each. Then finally to calculate the perimeter you should do the biggest side multiplied by the smallest side : 15 x 5 and you find 75 m2 (squaremeters), if I’m not mistaken.

And for the smallest area you take the smallest possibilities knowing that only the opposite sides should have the same length and not all of them, so you do 1 x 2 and you find 2 m2.

How can you solve standard form and intercept form?
laiz [17]

Answer:

The standard form of such an equation is Ax + By + C = 0 or Ax + By = C. When you rearrange this equation to get y by itself on the left side, it takes the form y = mx +b. This is called slope intercept form because m is equal to the slope of the line, and b is the value of y when x = 0, which makes it the y-intercept.
