Answer:

The height of the statue is 21.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

A person is standing 50 ft from a statue

The person looks up at an angle of elevation of 16 degree when staring at the top of the statue

hen the person looks down at an angle of depression of 8 degree when staring at the base of the statue

Firstly, we will draw diagram

In triangle ABF:

FC=50

we can use trig formula

tan(16)=\frac{y}{50}

y=50tan(16)

y=14.33727ft

now, we can find x

In triangle DEF:

we can use trig formula

tan(8)=\frac{x}{50}

x=50tan(8)

x=7.0270ft

we can see that

height of statue =x+y

so, the height of statue is

=14.33727+7.0270

=21.4ft

<span>A. Write and solve an algrebraic equation to find out how many gallons of gas they will use. Explain your steps.

let x = gallons of gas they will use
    y = distance traveled

x = y/20 
x = 1058/20 = 52.9 gallons of gas

B. Write and solve an algebraic equation to find out how many miles they will travel.

</span>let x = distance traveled
    y = gallons of gas used

x = 20y
x = 20(52.9) 
x = 1058 miles

Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Using the 4 train car strategy for factoring polynomials, what is the green common factor for the 1st two train cars and the gre
koban [17]

The completely factored expression of 2x^2 + 4x + 3xy + 6y is (2x + 3y)(x + 2)

<h3>How to factor the polynomial?</h3>

The expression is given as:

2x^2 + 4x + 3xy + 6y

Group the expression into two

[2x^2 + 4x] + [3xy + 6y]

Factor out each group

2x(x + 2) + 3y(x + 2)

Factor out x + 2

(2x + 3y)(x + 2)

Hence, the completely factored expression of 2x^2 + 4x + 3xy + 6y is (2x + 3y)(x + 2)

If you vertically compress the absolute value parent function, F(x) = |x|, by
marshall27 [118]

The current function equation is  Y=1/3|x|

---------------------------

The meaning relative f(x) = is the absolute value and is weighted by a factor 3 vertically.

If a constant (say a) multiplies the function, the parent will be extended vertically.

We have below vertical extension and compression conditions.

A > 1 = > spread vertically

0 < < 1 = > compression vertically

Therefore we will subtract the entire feature by 1/3 for vertical compression by a factor of 3.

The equation for the current function is then Y=1/3|x|
