The angle of elevation of shadow from building is 50 degrees
tan 50=height of building/length of shadow=h/75
h=75tan50=75(1.192)=89.38 feet
the height of the building is 89.38 feet

A cylinder with a radius of 1 cm and a height of 21 cm has the same volume as a cone with a height of 7 cm. What is the radius o
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

<h2>A) 3 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a cylinder:

V=\pi r^2H

r - radius

H - height

We have r = 1cm and H = 21cm. Substitute:

V=\pi(1^2)(21)=21\pi\ cm^3

The formula of a cone:

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2H

r - radius

H - height

We have V = 21π cm³ and H = 7cm. Substitute:

\dfrac{1}{3}\pi(r^2)(7)=21\pi        <em>divide both sides by π</em>

\dfrac{1}{3}(7)(r^2)=21         <em>divide both sides by 7</em>

\dfrac{1}{3}r^2=3         <em>multiply both sides by 3</em>

r^2=9\to r=\sqrt9\\\\r=3\ cm

12x + 2y =6a. solve for yb. what is the slope and what is the y-intercept?
diamong [38]

The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

The given equation is

12x + 2y = 6

we would make this equation to look like the slope intercept equation.

12x + 2y = 6

If we subtract 12x from both sides of the equation, it becomes

12x - 12x + 2y = 6 - 12x

2y = 6 - 12x

2y = - 12x + 6

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes

y = - 6x + 3

Thus, by comparing with the slope intercept equation,

slope = - 6

y intercept = 3

What is the value of y in the equation 9 + y = 8? this is extremely time sensitive
adoni [48]

You have to switch the 8 to the left and the y to the right which would change the equation to 9-8=y

y=1

Solve for x in the equation 2x^2-4x-9=29
Andrews [41]

Answer:

x = 1  ±2sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2-4x-9=29

Add 9 to each each side

2x^2-4x-9+9=29+9

2x^2-4x=38

Divide by 2

2/2x^2-4/2x=38/8

x^2 -2x =19

Complete the square

x^2 -2x + (-2/2)^2 = 19 +(-2/2)^2

x^2 -2x +1 = 19+1

(x-1)^1=2 = 20

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-1)^2) = ±sqrt(20)

x-1 =  ±sqrt(20)

Add 1 to each side

x-1+1 = 1  ±sqrt(20)

x = 1 ±sqrt(20)

Simplifying the square root of 20

x = 1  ±sqrt(4)sqrt(5)

x = 1  ±2sqrt(5)
