Angle of elevation= 61°
Height of Sarah =h = 5.5ft
Distance(from base of statue) between Sarah and statue = 166 ft 
Now,
tan(61°)= H/166 
H= 299.47 ft
but in the height H you also add the height of of Sarah then you get the height of statue.
Height of <span>statue of the liberty = H+h
                                               = 299.47+5.5
                                               = 304.97 ft</span>

Identify a possible first step using the elimination method to solve the system and then find the solution to the system.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:x = 1

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of simultaneous equations is expressed as

3x - 5y = - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

2x + y = 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

The first step is to decide on which variable to eliminate. Let us eliminate x. Then we would multiply both rows by numbers which would make the coefficients of x to be equal in both rows.

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

6x - 10y = - 4

6x + 3y = 9

Subtracting, it becomes

- 13y = - 13

y = - 13/- 13 = 1

The next step is to substitute y = 1 into any of the equations to determine x.

Substituting y = 1 into equation 2, it becomes

2x + 1 = 3

2x = 3 - 1 = 2

x = 2/2 = 1

PART A. A fruit juice recipe uses three ingredients. Two of the ingredients use a ratio of 2 ounces of pineapple juice to 5 ounc
Rashid [163]

Answer:

(B) The equation of line is 5 X = 2 Y.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ounces of pineapple juice

5 ounces of fruit punch

Other is 4 ounces pineapple juice and 10 ounces fruit punch

(A) Graph is shown below:

(B) Let X is the pineapple juice and Y is the fruit punch

(2, 5)  and (4, 10)

So, the equation of line is

Y - 5 = \frac{10-5}{4-2}\times (x -2)\\\\Y-5=2.5 (X-2)\\\\Y - 5 = 2.5 X - 5 \\\\2.5 X = Y\\\\ 5 X = 2 Y

the perimeter of a rectangle is 68ft the ratio of the length to the width iss 9:8 what are the dimensions of the rectangle
NikAS [45]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

2 * L + 2 * W = 68  

2*L = 2* 9x = 9x + 9x  

2*W = 2*8x = 8x + 8x  

Since the perimeter is 68  

9x + 9x + 8x + 8x = 68

What is the Y value of the point that Partitions the directed line segment A.B. into a 1:3 ratio
xenn [34]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = | 8 - (- 4) | = | 12 |= 12

Divide 12 by the sum of the parts of the ratio, 1 + 3 = 4

12 ÷ 4 = 3

Thus

y = 8 - 3 = 5
