Step-by-step answer:

The first step in solving a problem of geometry and trigonometry is to draw a diagram, with all the given information in it. The attached image does just that.

Here, we have (horizontal) distance of building to the tower is 400'.

We see two right triangles, each with a leg of 400' (horizontal).

The vertical distances are denoted h1 and h2 for the angles of elevation 24 and 20 degrees respectively.

Using the definition of tangent, we have

h1= 400tan24=178.1

h2=400tan20=145.6

The height of the tower is therefore h1+h2=178.1+145.6=323.7 feet

-15=2t-11 does any one know it please

Murljashka [212]

Add 11 to both sides:

-4=-2t

divide 2 by both sides

2=t

Hope it helps! Comment if you have any questions!

David made a class banner out of a large rectangular piece of paper. He cut a

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

100 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the banner is equal to the area of the initial rectangle minus the area of the cutout triangle.

The rectangle has a height of 8 inches and width of 14 inches, so its area is:

A = (8 in) (14 in) = 112 in²

The triangle has a base of 8 inches and a height of 3 inches, so its area is:

A = ½ (8 in) (3 in) = 12 in²

So the area of the banner is 112 in² − 12 in² = 100 in².

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form that has slope 3 and passes through (2, -5)

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

y = 3x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

y = mx + b Slope Intercept Form

Step 2:

y = 3x + b Input Slope

Step 3:

- 5 = 3 ( 2 ) + b Input x and y values

Step 4:

- 5 = 6 + b Multiply

Step 5:

- 11 = b Subtract 6 on both sides

Answer:

y = 3x - 11

You saved $300 to spend over the summer. You decide to budget $50 to spend each week.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Part c)

The Slope of the line is: m=-50 and represents the amount of money spent per week.

Part d)

The y-intercept is: c=300 and represents the maximum money we have that can be spend over the weeks (i.e. our maximum budget alowed).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we shall look at linear equations of the simplest form reading:

$y = mx+c$ Eqn(1).

where:

$y$ : is our dependent variable that changes as a function of x

$x$ : is our independent variable that 'controls' our equation of y

$m$ : is the slope of the line

$c$ : is our y-intercept assuming an $x$ ⇔ $y$ relationship graph.

This means that as $x$ changes so does $y$ as a result.

Given Information:

Here we know that $300 is our Total budget and thus our maximum value (of money) we can spend, so with respect to Eqn (1) here:

$c=300$

The budget of $50 here denotes the slope of the line, thus how much money is spend per week, so with respect to Eqn (1) here:

$m=50$

So finally we have the following linear equation of:

$y= - 50x + 300$ Eqn(2).

Notice here our negative sign on the slope of the line. This is simply because as the weeks pass by, we spend money therefore our original total of $300 will be decreasing by $50 per week.

So with respect to Eqn(2), and different weeks thus various $x$ values we have:

Week 1: $x=1$ we have $y= -50 *1 + 300 = -50 +300 = 250$ dollars.
