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)

Which two numbers add up to be 8 and multiply to be -84
Kisachek [45]
Righ, so negative times positive=negative
negative+positive=positive
thereofr
positive>negative

factor -84 where the negative is smaller ex -12 and 13, not -14 and 10 so

-2 and 42 nope
fast forward
-6 and 14 yes

Which of the following equations describes the graph shown above
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

this is in y=Mx+ b form. M stands for the slope and b stands for the y intercept, or where the line intersects with the y-axis.

Going left to right, the line slopes downwards, therefore it is a negative Slope. This narrows down your answer to either a or d. the slope is -1 because you can only ever write x by itself if it means 1x. In this case it is negative so it would look like this: -x

for the y-intercept, simply look at where the line passes through the y-axis. In this case, it is positive 2.

your finished equation would be: y=-x+2

i hope this is helpful
