Answer: 85°


Step-by-step explanation:

Trig functions are remembered by


SOD CAD TOA,


sin = opposite / distance, cos = adjacent / distance, and tan = opposite / adjacent.


Here we have the adjacent side = 100, opposite side = 1058. The tower would fall over if it weren't vertical, and we assume the area is flat and level. So tangent of the answer is 10.58.


We need the angle whose tangent is 10.58.

On Android calculator you swipe left to get the trig functions, tap INV, if RAD is showing tap it to change it to DEG, and tap tan⁻¹. Swipe right and you see tan⁻¹(. Enter 10.58 and the result shows 84.6005606. If it shows 1.47655833 tap the RAD in upper left to change to DEG.

The sum of two numbers is 0. Twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10. Let x represent the large
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

x+y=0 and 3x-2y=10

Step-by-step explanation

Let the numbers be x and y.

The sum of the two numbers is 0

\implies \: x + y =0

Letting the smaller number be y and the

larger number be x:

twice the smaller number

\implies \: 2y

Also, 3 times the larger number

\implies \: 3x

Now ,twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10.

\implies \: 3x - 2y = 10

Therefore the equations are

x + y =0

and

3x  - 2y =10

A 16 inch candle is lit and burns at a constant rate of 1.1 inches per hour. Let t represent the never of hours that have elapse
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

(a) Number of inches that have burned from the candle since it was lit is (1.1t) inches

(b) The remaining length of the candle is (16 - 1.1t) inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(a). Length of candle before it was lit = 16 inches

Constant rate at which at which candle burns = 1.1 inches per hour

Let t represent the number of hours that have elapsed since the candle was lit

In 1 hour, 1.1 inches of the candle burned

Therefore, in t hours, (1.1t) inches of the candle would have burned since the candle was lit

(b) Remaining length of candle = length of candle before it was lit - length of candle that have burned = 16 inches - 1.1t inches = (16 - 1.1t) inches

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points
Oksana_A [137]

The slope is ∞ , line is a vertical line parallel to y axis.

<h3>What is a Straight Line Function ?</h3>

A straight line function is a function that can be represented by y = mx +c , where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis.

There are two points given for a line ,

The slope is represented  by

\rm m = \dfrac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}\\\\m = \dfrac{31-6}{1-1}

m = ∞

which means the line is a vertical line parallel to y axis.
