Answer:

94 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation is the angle made by the eye of the observer and the ground level. In this instance, it is the angle formed by the string and the ground which is 40°.

From the attached diagram, the length of the string is x and the height above the ground is 70 feet. These two sides are the hypotenuse and the opposite sides respectively

Using SOH CAH TOA

Sin 40 = 70/x

x = 70/sin 40

x = 93.95 feet.

The length of the string to the nearest foot is 94 feet.

Taking the length of the string to be the hypothenuse and the vertical height above the ground to be the 'opposite' side,
the length of the string
= 70/sin(40°)
= 109 feet

A copy machine makes

This problem can be represented in a formula with fractions. To make it more simple, we are converting 5m30s to just pure seconds, which = 154 copies in 330 seconds.

You set up the formula like this: 154/330 = x/60. (it is x/60 because you want to know the x amount of copies per 60 seconds)

Cross multiply, you get 330x = 9240. Divide both sides by 330, you get:

 x = 28 copies.

The final answer is 28 copies per minute

Answer:

slope = -10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

point 1 = (-5,5)

point 2 = (-2,-5)

slope = change in y divided by change in x

(-5-5)/(-2--5) = -10/3
