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)

Can someone please find the volume of this shape and show work for how you did it??
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

221.4m^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out the volume of this shape you will first need to work out the area of the triangle. To work out the area of the triangle you would multiply the base of 12 by the height of 4.1, which gives you 49.2. You would then need to divide 49.2 by 2, which gives you 24.6. This is because the formula for the area of a triangle is the same as that of a square, however a triangle is half of a square with the same length and width. To work out the volume you would multiply the area of the triangle, which is 24.6 by the height of 9, which gives you 221.4m^{3}

1) Multiply 12 by 4.1.

12*4.1=49.2

2) Divide 49.2 by 2.

49.2/2=24.6

3) Multiply 24.6 by 9.

24.6*9=221.4m^{3}

Which of the values shown are potential roots of f(x) = 3x3 – 13x2 – 3x + 45? Select all that apply.
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

All potential roots are 3,3 and -\frac{5}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential roots of the polynomial is all possible roots of f(x).

f(x)=3x^3-13x^2-3x+45

Using rational root theorem test. We will find all the possible or potential roots of the polynomial.

p=All the positive/negative factors of 45

q=All the positive/negative factors of 3

p=\pm 1,\pm 3,\pm 5\pm \pm 9,\pm 15\pm 45

q=\pm 1,\pm 3

All possible roots

\frac{p}{q}=\pm 1,\pm 3,\pm 5\pm \pm 9,\pm 15\pm 45,\pm \frac{1}{3},\pm \frac{5}{3}

Now we check each rational root and see which are possible roots for given function.

f(1)= 3\times 1^3-13\times 1^2-3\times 1+45\Rightarrow 32\neq 0

f(-1)= 3\times (-1)^3-13\times (-1)^2-3\times (-1)+45\Rightarrow \neq 32

f(-3)= 3\times (-3)^3-13\times (-3)^2-3\times (-3)+45\Rightarrow \neq -144

f(3)= 3\times (3)^3-13\times (3)^2-3\times (3)+45\Rightarrow =0\\\\ \therefore x=3\text{ Potential roots of function}

Similarly, we will check for all value of p/q and we get

f(-5/3)=0

Thus, All potential roots are 3,3 and -\frac{5}{3}.

Joni made a down payment of $1,600 on a car that was 20% of the total price what was the total price
zvonat [6]
We know that 20 percent is 1/5
1,600 = (1/5)*x\\ 1,600 * 5 = x 8,000 = x
total price is $8,000
