We know that
tan ∅=opposite side angle ∅/adjacent side angle ∅

in this problem
opposite side angle ∅=150 ft
adjacent side angle ∅=120 ft
∅=angle of elevation
so
tan ∅=150/120--------> 1.25
∅=arc tan(1.25)---------> ∅=51.34°

the answer is
51.34°

Can someone help me understand this!!!
otez555 [7]

Answer:

7b, 8a

Step-by-step explanation:

using the equation y=m(x)+b, m(x) is the slope, and b is the y intercept. Oky so for 7, its a slope of negative 2, and it has a y-intercept of 5, and if you look at graph b a  slope of -2 and would be a y-intercept of 5.

looking at equation a, its a Quadric function, f(x)=x^2, but it doesn't match the graph... strange because the graph for that equation would look like the image included. Hopefully this helps!
