An ant looks to the top of a bulding at an angle of elevation of 32°. The ant then walks an additional 66 feet from the edge of

the building. If the new angle of elevation from the ant to the top of the building is 22°, find the height of the building. Round to the nearest tenth

Let the height of the building be x. Let the initial distance of the ant from the building be y, then
tan 32 = x/y
y = x/tan 32 . . . . . . . . (1)
tan 22 = x/(y + 66)
y tan 22 + 66 tan 22 = x
y = (x - 66 tan 22)/tan 22 . . . . . . . . (2)
Equating (1) and (2), we have
x/tan 32 = (x - 66 tan 22)/tan 22
x tan 22 = x tan 32 - 66 tan 22 (tan 32)
x(tan 32 - tan 22) = 66 tan 22 (tan 32)
x = (66 tan 22 (tan 32))/(tan 32 - tan 22) = 66(0.4040)(0.6249)/(0.6249 - 0.4040) = 16.6626/0.2208 = 75.4

Therefore, the height of the building is 75.4 feet.

Put these numbers in order from least to greatest 12%, -1/2, 0, -0.22, 0.56
uysha [10]

Answer: -1/2, -0.22, 0, 12%, 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2 is equal to -0.50, making it the number with the least value.

-0.22 is closer to 0 than -0.50, meaning it is greater then -0.50 and less than 0.

0 is between the negative and positive numbers, giving it the spot that it has.

12% is equivalent to 0.12, meaning it is more than 0, and less than 0.56, which is the greatest number.

0.56 has more value than any other number in the problem, meaning it goes last in the order.

How to do system of equations
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The three methods most commonly used to solve systems of equation are substitution, elimination and augmented matrices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution is a method of solving systems of equations by removing all but one of the variables in one of the equations and then solving that equation.

Elimination is another way to solve systems of equations by rewriting one of the equations in terms of only one variable. The elimination method achieves this by adding or subtracting equations from each other in order to cancel out one of the variables.

Augmented matrices can also be used to solve systems of equations. The augmented matrix consists of rows for each equation, columns for each variable, and an augmented column that contains the constant term on the other side of the equation.
