Answer:

B. 60.26°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Consider the diagram representing the above scenario.

The top of the house where dad is standing is at A. The point where his son is standing is B. The bottom of the house is at C. AC is the height of house, BC is the distance between the house and son.

Height of the house (AC) = 21 ft

Distance between the house and son (BC) = 12 ft

Let the angle of depression for the dad be 'x'.

From the figure, it is clear that,

Angle of depression of the dad will be same as angle of elevation of Artie.

For triangle ABC,

\tan x=\frac{AC}{BC}\\\\\tan x=\frac{21\ ft}{12\ ft}\\\\\tan x=1.75\\\\x=\tan^{-1}(1.75)\\\\x=60.26

Therefore, the angle of depression  from the top of the house to the spot where Artie is standing is 60.26°.

Therefore, the correct option is option (B).

Blababa [14]

Answer: 888,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Base: 600 x 600 = 360,000

600 x 440 x 2 (there is 4 triangles and 2 makes 1 square. So there is 2 pairs so times 2)= 528,000

360,000 + 528,000= 888,000

PLZ HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TEN POINTS
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Time = distance/speed. T = 1,200,000,000/28,000. This can be cancelled to 1,200,000/28. Rounding 28 to 30 for the estimate, divide by another ten: 120,000. Then divide by the remaining 3 from 30: 120,000/3 = 40,000. It will take approximately 40,000 hours.

Okay, so keeping mind that the equation for area is A = L x W, look at the measurements you already have. 5.5 x 10^5 is the length, and 4.2 x 10^4 is the width. Switch them into full form and use a calculator to multiply the two for the area in meters.

550000 x 42000 = 23100000000, which in scientific form is 2.31 × 10^10. So that's answer one.

For the second, in kilometers, just take the full measurement you already have, 23100000000 m, transfer it into kilometers, 23100000 km, and then find its scientific notation, 2.31 × 10^7. That's answer two.

To answer the last question for which is more suitable, just consider what number you'd prefer to look at: a bigger number or a smaller one. Since the kilometer measurement number is smaller, its correct.

Summarily, the answers are 2.31 × 10^10, 2.31 × 10^7, and square kilometers, in that order.

Simplify (8x^3-5x-1)-(7x^2+6x-10)
irakobra [83]

Answer:

8x^3-7x^2-11x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x^3-5x-1)-(7x^2+6x-10)

remove unnesasary ( )

8x^3-5x-1 -(7x^2+6x-10)

the distribute

8x^3-5x-1 -7x^2-6x+10

combine like terms

8x^3-11x+9-7x^2

use the communative property to reorder the equation

8x^3-7x^2-11x+9
