Answer: 22 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that there are two right triangles in the figure attached: ACD and BCD. Where "h" is the height of the chimeney  from John's eye level to the top of the chimney.

You need to use the trigonometric identity tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} for this exercise.

  • For the triangle BCD:

tan(45\°)=\frac{h}{x}

Solve for h:

h=xtan(45\°)\\h=x

  • For the triangle ACD:

tan(30\°)=\frac{h}{x+16}

Substitute h=x and solve for h:

tan(30\°)=\frac{h}{h+16}\\\\(h+16)(tan(30\°))=h\\\\0.577h+9.237=h\\\\9.237=h-0.577h\\\\9.237=0.423h\\\\h=\frac{9.237}{0.423}\\\\h=21.836ft

Rounded to the nearest foot:

h=22ft

Write each of these ratios in their
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

A) 3:9 => 1:3

B) 12:36 => 1:3

C) 13:39 => 1:3

D) 71:213 => 1:3

E) 142:213 => 2:3

F) 38:57 => 2:3

G) 33:44 => 3:4

H) 31:42 => 31:42 or 21:42 => 1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest form of the ratios are as follows:

A) 3:9

Dividing the ratio by 3

1:3

B) 12:36

Dividing the ratio by 12

1:3

C)13:39

Dividing the ratio by 13

1:3

D) 71:213

Dividing the ratio by 71

1:3

E) 142:213

Dividing the ratio by 71

2:3

F) 38:57

Dividing the ratio by 19

2:3

G) 33:44

Dividing the ratio by 11

3:4

H) 31:42

The ratio is already in simplest form as 31 and 42 don't have a common multiple.

Or it might be mistakenly typed 31 instead of 21

Then the simplest form will be:

21:42

1:2

Hence,

A) 3:9 => 1:2

B) 12:36 => 1:3

C) 13:39 => 1:3

D) 71:213 => 1:3

E) 142:213 => 2:3

F) 38:57 => 2:3

G) 33:44 => 3:4

H) 31:42 => 31:42 or 21:42 => 1:2

A start-up company opened with 8 employees.
tiny-mole [99]

By representing the equation is written in the form y = ax + b .

The value of b is 8.

According to the question

A start-up company opened with 8 employees.

So, Number of employees = 8

At zero quarter = 8

The company’s growth plan assumes that 2 new employees will be hired each quarter

After 1 quarter = Number of employees + 2 new employees

After one quarter = 8 + 2 = 10

Equation is written in the form y = ax + b to represent the number of employees, y, employed by the company x quarters after the company opened

y = ax  + b

10 = 2 × 1 + b

10 = 2 + b

Subtract 2 on both sides of the equation

b = 10 - 2

b = 8

The value of b is 8.
