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.

Which of the following is an equation of the line through (2,3) and (-1,-12)
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

y = 5x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation of a line with two points

y_2 - y_1 / x_2 - x_1 = y - y_1 / x - x_1

Giving two points

( -4 , 10)(16 , -2)

x_1 = -4

y_1 = 10

x_2 = 16

y_2 = -2

Using the above formula

y_2 - y_1 / x_2 - x_1 = y - y_1 / x - x_1

-12 - 3 / -1 - 2 = y - 3 / x - 2

-15/-3 = y - 3 /x - 2

Cross multiply

-15(x - 2) = -3(y - 3)

-15x + 30 = -3y + 9

-15x + 30 + 3y - 9 = 0

-15x +30 - 9 + 3y = 0

-15x + 21 + 3y = 0

3y = 15x - 21 ( following y = mx + C

Dividing through by 3 to find y

3y/3 = 15x -21 / 3

y = 15x - 21 / 3

We can still separate

y = 15x / 3 - 21/3

y = 5x - 7

Therefore, the equation of the line is

y = 5x - 7
