You didn't say so, but I'm assuming that what you want is the angle of elevation
when you're looking at the top of the building.

Also, since you didn't specify it, we have to assume that you and the building
are on level ground, and we also have to assume that your eye is located at
ground level. In other words, your eye is level with the base of the building.

Now ... The building is perpendicular to the ground.  So the building, the line
on the ground from the building to you, and the line of sight from your eye to
the top of the building, form a right triangle.

The angle we need is the angle located at your eye.  The line along the ground
from the building to you is the side of the triangle that's adjacent to that angle. 
And the building is the side of the triangle that's opposite that angle.

The tangent of the angle is (opposite) / (adjacent) = 200/90 = 2.2222...

Put that number into your calculator, and find the angle whose tangent it is.
(That's called the 'arctangent' of 2.2222, or tan⁻¹(2.2222) .)

The angle is about 65.77 degrees.  (rounded)

Solve........3 (5p - 3) = 5 (p - 1)
romanna [79]

Step 1: multiply the numbers in front of the parentheses with each term inside the parentheses

15p - 9 = 5p - 5

Step 2: get like terms on the same side

10p = 4

Step 3: divide both sides by 10

p = 4/10

Step 4: simplify

p = 2/5

Express the polar coordinates (-1, 180) as Cartesian coordinates.
Mashcka [7]
Answer: The correct point is (1, 0)

In polar coordinates, the first number is the distance from the origin in any direction. The second number is an angle measurement that tells us the direction to go from the origin.

Therefore, we have to move -1 one unit (or backwards) from the origin. Now, all we need to know is the direction to move.

The second number is 180, so we make an angle of 180 degrees and move in that direction.

But where do we start?

We always start from the origin straight right along the x-axis. That is degrees 0. So a 180 degree angle would move us left along the x-axis. But remember, we are moving back 1 space, so we will end up at (1, 0).

At a company fish fry, 1/2 in attendance are employees. Employees’ spouses are 1/3 of the attendance. What is the percentage of
Lelechka [254]

Answer:At a company fish fry, 1/2 in attendance are employees.

Employees’ spouses are 1/3 of the attendance. What is

the percentage of the people in attendance who are not

employees or employee's spouses?


One half of X are employees.

One third of X are employee's spouses.



Step-by-step explanation:1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6


Then we subtract that fraction from one whole, or 1,

to see what fraction is left.  That is, we say


1 minus 5/6


which is


1 - 5/6


Now write 1 as 6/6


6/6 - 5/6


We get 1/6


So 1/6 is left.  Now we need to make that into

a percent by multiplying it by 100 and tacking on a "%"


1/6 × 100


1/6 × 100/1


100/6


50/3


16 2/3 %


So 16 2/3 % of the people in

attendance are neither employees

nor employee's spouses.



Now let's check:


1/2 are employees.  That's 50%

1/3 are wmployee's spouses. That's 33 1/3%

15 2/3 % are neither employees nor employee's spouses.


Add them up


50     %

33 1/3 %

16 2/3 %

--------

99 3/3 %


And 99 3/3% = 100%
