A person is standing 50 ft from a statue. The person looks up at an angle of elevation of 8 degrees when staring at the top of t
borishaifa [10]

The height of the statue is 19.5 feet.

Why?

We can solve the problem using trigonometric formulas. In this case, we are going to use the trigonometric formula of the tangent.

We know that the person is standing 50ft from the statue, so, it will be the base of the two triangles formed by both angles (elevation and depression)

Using the trignometric formula, we have:

First triangle:

tg(\alpha )=\frac{h_{1}}{base} \\\\tg(8\°)=\frac{h_{1}}{50ft}\\\\0.14*50ft=h_1\\\\h_1=7ft

Second triangle:

tg(\alpha )=\frac{h_{2}}{base} \\\\tg(14\°)=\frac{h_{1}}{50ft}\\\\0.25*50ft=h_1\\\\h_1=12.5ft

Now, the total height of the statue will be:

TotalHeight=h_1+h_2=7ft+12.5ft\\\\TotalHeight=19.5ft

Have a nice day!

Please please help mane :((( give explanation plsss :(((
Deffense [45]

Answer:

2x - 1 > 4x + 6 \\ 2x - 2x - 1 > 4x - 2x + 6 \\  - 1 > 2x + 6 \\  - 6 - 1 > 2x \\  - 7 > 2x \\  \frac{ - 7}{2}  > x

I hope I helped you^_^

Tell whether the lines through the given points are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
ira [324]

Answer: Line 1: (2, 3) , (4, 12)

m = (12 - 3)/(4 - 2) = 9/2  This is the slope of the line

y = (9/2)x + b

3 = (9/2)(2) + b

3 = 9 + b

b = -6

y = (9/2)x  - 6

 

Line 2: (5, 10) , (14,8)

m = (8 - 10)/(14 - 5) = -2/9

this slope is the opposite sign, and inverse of the first equation's slope.  Therefore, the line is perpendicular.

y = mx + b

8 = (-2/9)(14) + b

8 = -28/9 + b

11.11 = b

y = (-2/9)x + 11.11

Step-by-step explanation: Hope this helps :)

Question
balandron [24]

Answer:

The approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865 is 16%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 1060, standard deviation of 195.

Empirical Rule to estimate the approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865.

865 = 1060 - 195

So 865 is one standard deviation below the mean.

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so approximately 100 - 68 = 32% are more than 1 standard deviation from the mean. The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that approximately 32/2 = 16% are more than 1 standard deviation below the mean and approximately 16% are more than 1 standard deviation above the mean. So

The approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865 is 16%.
