Let h and d represent the height of the object above the lake and its horizontal distance from the observer, respectively.

Looking at the reflection of the object in the lake's surface is equivalent to observing the object at distance h below the lake's surface, or observing it from 200 m below the lake's surface. Considering the latter case, we have
  (h+200)/d = tan(45°)
  (h -200)/d = tan(30°)
Solving these for d and equating the results gives
  (h+200)/tan(45°) = (h -200)/tan(30°)
Solving for h, we get
  h(1/tan(30°) -1/tan(45°)) = 200(1/tan(45°) +1/tan(30°))
  h = 200(tan(45°) +tan(30°))/(tan(45°) -tan(30°))
  h ≈ 746.41

The object is about 746.4 meters above the lake.

Write an inequality for the given graph.
Aliun [14]
Y=MX+B

M = slope

B = y intercept (number that intersects with the line in the y axis)

y=-3/4x+2

It starts on the y intercept (2) then we travel to the next point (4 on the x axis)

So we travel 3 spaces down (-3) landing on the origin (0,0) then four spaces to the right (4). Getting the slope of -3/4 (rise over run)

Then just plug in these into the equation

y = -3/4 + 2

The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F:
levacccp [35]

Answer:

F = 9 over 5C + 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the following equation that shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F.

C = 5 over 9(F − 32)

C = 5/9 (F − 32)

To solve for F, first, we will multiply both sides by 9/5.

C × 9/5 = 5/9 (F − 32) × 9/5

9/5 C = F − 32

Now, we add 32 to both sides.

9/5 C + 32 = F − 32 + 32

9/5 C + 32 = F

F = 9 over 5C + 32

A medium sized apple has 70 calories. This is 10 calories less than 1\4 of the calories in an old westie chocolate bar.How many
blondinia [14]

Answer:

\boxed{320}

Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x = calories in chocolate bar

       ¼x = ¼ of the calories

¼x – 10 = 10 calories less than half the calories

¼x – 10 = 70

       ¼x = 80

          x = 320

There are \boxed{320} calories in the chocolate bar.
