ou live in the building on the left in the drawing, and a friend lives in the other building. the two of you are having a discus

sion about the heights of the buildings, and your friend claims that the height of his building is more than 1.50 times the height of yours. to resolve the issue you climb to the roof of your building and estimate that your line of sight to the top edge of the other building makes an angle of 21° above the horizontal, whereas your line of sight to the base of the other building makes an angle of 52° below the horizontal. determine the ratio of the height of the taller building to the height of the shorter building. state whether your friend is right or wrong.

Answer:

1.3

Friend is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

friend's claim: height of his building is more than 1.50 times the height of yours

line of sight to the top edge of the other building makes an angle of 21° above the horizontal

line of sight to the base of the other building makes an angle of 52° below the horizontal

Solution:

Let A be the height of your building is A

Let B+A his building is B higher than yours.

Let the distance between the buildings is x.  

then

tan 52 = A/x

tan 21 = B/x  

A/B = tan 52 / tan 21

      =  1.27994 / 0.38386

A/B = 3.33

(A + B) / A = 1.5 0

A/A + B/A = 1.50

1 + B/A = 1.50

B/A is basically (B/x) / (A/x)

So

1+ 3.33 / 3.33

= 4.33/3.33

= 1.3

Since 1.3 is not equal to 1.5

Hence the friend's claim is wrong.

HELP ME!! Move the terms to their corresponding categories. Either Domain or Range.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Step-by-step explanation and answer:

To understand this problem, you must first understand the definition of domain and range. Domain is all possible x values (possible input), and range is all possible y values (possible output). Based on this, we can now sort the terms as the following:

Domain

  • Independent variable
  • Input value
  • X-value

Range

  • Dependent variable
  • Y-value
  • Output value

Hope this helps!!

Find the slope and the equation please<br><br>and step by step PLEASE.​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

y = \frac{-4}{5}x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run, or the vertical progression over the horizontal progression.

Your example has a line that heads downwards, so we know that the slope is negative. If we count the squares, the "rise" is down by 4. We count the squares going horizontally and there are 5. So, your slope is \frac{-4}{5}.

The other half of the equation is the y-intercept, or where the line crosses the y axis. It appears to be at (0 , 1), so we can say that your y-intercept is 1.

Please answer 3-6 and show work
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

3. 10 - 5 is 5. so that is the difference. difference means subtraction.

4. 108 - 30 = 78. so she can move 78 degrees miore after therapy because 108 minues 30 is 78

5. 99 because 180 - 81 = 99. there is always 180 degrees in a line angle.

6. 130 degrees. 25 + 25 = 50 so 180 minus 50 equals 130
