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°

Answer:

  • 7 months

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

  • A(x) = 275 + 125x

b)

  • C(x) = 1850 - 100x

c)

  • 275 + 125x = 1850 - 100x
  • 125x + 100x = 1850 - 275
  • 225x = 1575
  • x = 1575 / 225
  • x = 7

The answer is 7 months

What is the slope of the lines that are parallel to the line defined by the equation y = -x – 4?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

slope = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines have the same slope,

y = -x – 4

=> y = -1(x) -4

          ↑ slope

y = mx + b

     ↑ slope

A scientist mixes water (containing no salt) with a solution that contains 35% salt. She wants to obtain 245 ounces of a mixture
sesenic [268]

Answer:

140 ounces of water and 105 ounces of 35% salt solution.

Explanation:

Let x be the ounces of water that need to be added and y be the ounces of 35% solution that need to to be added.

We know that the total of ounces of water and of 35% solution must be 245 ounces:

x+y=245

35% of  x is the salt, and since no salt is added with addition of y  liters of water, this must be equal to the amount of salt in the final 15% solution:

0.35x=0.15*245

we solve for  x and get:

x=105

We put this value into x+y=245 and solve for y to get:

y=140

Thus we have 140 ounces of water and 105 ounces of 35% solution.

∠A and ∠B are vertical angles. If ∠A=8x+14 and ∠B=2x+50, what is m∠B?
Maslowich

Answer:

∠B = 62°

Step-by-step explanation:

Because ∠A and ∠B are vertical angles they are equal hence we can write

∠A = ∠B

8x + 14 = 2x + 50

Now we have to solve for x

To do so, subtract 2x on both sides of the equation:

6x + 14 = 50

Now, subtract 14 on both sides of the equation

6x = 36

Now, divide 6 on both sides of the equation

x = 6

To find m∠B you have to you have to plug in x = 6 back into the ∠B equation

∠B = 2(6) + 50

∠B = 62°
