Answer:  The tangent ratio for angle E is \dfrac{3}{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the tangent ratio of angle E in the figure.

From the figure, we note that

the triangle DEF is a right-angled triangle, where ∠D = 90° and ∠E is an acute angle.

We know that

tangent ratio of an angle is given by the length of the perpendicular divided by the length of the base associated with that particular angle.

Now, for angle E, we have

perpendicular = DF = 6 units

and

base = DE = 8 units.

Therefore, the tangent ratio for angle E will be

\tan \angle E=\dfrac{perpendicular}{base}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \angle E=\dfrac{DF}{DE}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \angle E=\dfrac{6}{8}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \angle E=\dfrac{3}{4}.

Thus, the tangent ratio for angle E is \dfrac{3}{4}.

pychu [463]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: the height of the light pole is 15 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the picture below

Now, we can do proportions to finds the height of the light pole

                   \frac{20}{8} =  \frac{x}{6}

Solve for x

                      x = 6(20) / 8

                     x = 120 / 8

                     x = 15 ft

Vertex form is f(x)=a(x-p)^2 +q. How do i determine a?
slamgirl [31]
Y1 is the simplest parabola.  Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4).  This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.

y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge.  We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).

Let's try this:  assume that the general equation for a parabola is 
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex.  Subst. the known values,

-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2.  Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.

The equation of parabola y4 is   y+4 = (1/4)x^2

Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or

4y = x^2-16, or    y = (1/4)x - 4.  Take your pick!  Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.

What is the slope of the line
vfiekz [6]

Answer: 3

You can find slope by using the 'rise over run' method. Find 2 clear points and count the number of units between those points, across the x axis and up the y axis. You should have 3/1 (y/x) as your slope.

Two angles are supplementary. One angle is 16° less than three times the other. Find the measures of the angles
Ivan

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y are supplementary angles, so their sum is 180°.

x+y = 180°

x is 16° less than three times y

x = 3y - 16°

(3y-16°) + y = 180°

4y = 196°

y = 49°

x = 3y-16° = 131°
