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

In the diagram below. C is an equal distance to A and B.
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

C(50;-20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for the midpoint of the line.

The triangle is formed by placing a line directly from the y-axis to the x-axis.

The midpoint theorem is[ (x1+x2)/2 ; (y1+y2)/2 ].

your coordinates at A is (0;-40), because the x value is 0 on the line as shown in the diagram above point A.

Your coordinates for B are (100;0)

C[(x1+x2)/2 ; (y1+y2)/2 ]

C [(0+100)/2 ; (-40+0)/2 ]

C[ 100/2 ; -40/2]

C (50 ; -20)

10. Answer True or False for the following statements. If false, justify what would make the statement true. a. If the least-squ
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

a) TRUE

b) FALSE

c)  FALSE

d) TRUE

e) FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

TRUE because the slope of the correlation line is 2  and this is the rate of change of y respect to x

b)

FALSE

The correlation coefficient r is always between -1 and 1, so it can never be greater than one

c)

FALSE

A student might expect that there is a positive correlation between the age of their laptop and its resale value only if after collecting a large enough sample of data that relates age of the student and price of resale of their laptop, he or she finds that there is a positive correlation coefficient r>0

d)

TRUE

If there is a positive correlation, then the greater the x, the greater the y

e)

FALSE

If there is no correlation between the independent and dependent variables, then the value of the correlation coefficient must be 0.
