A person whose eye level is 20 feet above the ground is looking at a building. The angle of elevation to the top of the building

is 31º and the angle of depression to the bottom of the building is 24∘. What is the height (in feet) of the building? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Distance of the person from the building (x)

tan 24 = 20/x => x = 20/tan 24 = 44.92 ft

The height of the building above the height of the person and the distance of the person from the building forms two legs of right angled triangle.

Therefore, if h is the height of the building, then;
tan 31 = (h-20)/44.92
h-20 = 44.92 tan 31
h = (44.92 tan 31) + 20 = 26.99 + 20 = 46.99 ft

Dennis_Churaev [7]
So if point W is somewhere on the line segment UV, then the equation UV = UW + WV is true.

UV = UW + WV\\(13)=(2y-9)+(y-5)\\13=2y-9+y-5\\13=(2y+y)+[(-9)+(-5)]\\13=3y-14\\27=3y\\\\y=9

Suppose the following regression equation was generated from the sample data of 50 cities relating number of cigarette packs sol
frez [133]

Answer:

A) According to the regression equation, regardless of whether or not smoking is allowed in bars, the number of cigarette packs sold per 1000 people decreases by approximately 1424 for each additional dollar of cigarette tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the regression equation:

PACKS i= 57221.431732 − 1423.696906TAXi + 155.441784BARSi + eᵢ.

BARS i= 1 if city i allows smoking in bars

BARSi = 0 if city i does not allow smoking in bars

R2 = 0.351292

P-value = 0.086529

Conlusion:

Simnce p value, 0.0865 is greater than level of significance, 0.05, BARS is not significant. Thus, allowing smoking in bars increase cigarette sales, since the coefficient of BARS is positive.

Correct answer is option A.

According to the regression equation, regardless of whether or not smoking is allowed in bars, the number of cigarette packs sold per 1000 people decreases by approximately 1424 for each additional dollar of cigarette tax.
