A survey team is trying to estimate the height of a mountain above a level plain. From one point on the plain, they observe that

the angle of elevation to the top of the mountain is 32 ∘ . From a point 2000 feet closer to the mountain along the plain, they find that the angle of elevation is 34 ∘ . How high (in feet) is the mountain?

Answer:  3528.25

Step-by-step explanation:Make a sideview sketch

you should have 2 triangles, one right-angled containing the height and a scalene triangle with angles 24° , 153° (the supplement of 27°) and 3°

the side opposite the 3° angle is 1000

by let the side opposite the 24° be x, (also the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle)

x/sin24 = 1000/sin3

x = 1000sin24/sin3

let the height of the mountain be h

sin 27 = h/x

h = x sin27 = (1000sin24/sin3)(sin27)

= 3528.25

Can I get some help on this math problem
pogonyaev

Answer:

x=3\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles</u>

Right triangles have one of its interior angles with a measure of 90°.

In right triangles the Pythagora's Theorem is satisfied.

Being c the longest side (hypotenuse), a and b the shorter sides (the legs), then:

c^2=a^2+b^2

We have modified the image to include some known data. Both triangles are congruent since they share one side, have a right angle, and have the same base length.

This means the value of x can be calculated as the hypotenuse of the triangle 3-6-x:

x^2=3^2+6^2=9+36=45

x=\sqrt{45}=\sqrt{9*5}

\boxed{x=3\sqrt{5}}

Answer:

(1), (4), (5), (7) applies to graph of odd monomial function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider an odd monomial function with the coefficient a.

The properties that satisfy the graph of an odd monomial function are:

  • When a>0, the graph has no maximum or minimum point.
  • When a<0, the graph has no minimum or maximum point.
  • When a<0, the graph is in Quadrant II and IV.
  • If  IaI increases, the graph becomes narrower.

Kayla has $45 and wants to buy three shirts that are originally priced at $18 each. They are on sale for 20% off. After applying
tester [92]

Answer: No, as the total cost of the 3 shirts w/ sales tax is $45.36 and she only has $45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the price of one shirt on sale.

18*0.2

This equals 3.6 which is how much will be deducted from the original price.

One shirt costs 18-3.6\\ when its 20% off.

This is equal to $14.40.

Since she wants to buy 3 of them we just multiply the $14.40 by 3.

14.4*3=\\

This equals $43.2 but this is without a 5% sales tax which is normally added to the total end price.

To add a sales tax you take the sales tax percent plus 1 and multiply it to the $43.2.

43.2*1.05=\\

This means the total price of Kayla's purchase will be $45.36.

This is over her $45 she has so she can not buy it.
