Nuetrik [128]4 years ago

Answer:

The height of Mount Rushmore is 560.18\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

tan(48\°)=(x+60)/y

y=(x+60)/tan(48\°) -----> equation A

tan(44.76\°)=x/y

y=x/tan(44.76\°) -----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B and solve for x

(x+60)/tan(48\°)=x/tan(44.76\°)\\\\(x)tan(44.76\°)+(60)tan(44.76\°)=(x)tan(48\°)\\\\(x)tan(48\°)-(x)tan(44.76\°)=(60)tan(44.76\°)\\\\x=(60)tan(44.76\°)/(tan(48\°)-tan(44.76\°))\\\\x=500.18\ ft

Find the height of Mount Rushmore

The height is equal to

x+60=500.18+60=560.18\ ft

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A ' = (-2, -3)

B ' = (0, -3)

C ' = (-1, 1)

=======================================================

Explanation:

To apply an x axis reflection, we simply change the sign of the y coordinate from positive to negative, or vice versa. The x coordinate stays as is.

Algebraically, the reflection rule used can be written as

Applying this rule to the three given points will mean....

Point A = (-2, 3) becomes A ' = (-2, -3)

Point B = (0, 3) becomes B ' = (0, -3)

Point C = (-1, -1) becomes C ' = (-1, 1)

The diagram is provided below.

Side note: Any points on the x axis will stay where they are. That isn't the case here, but its for any future problem where it may come up. This only applies to x axis reflections.

This month, Chun’s office produced 690 pounds of garbage. Chun wants to reduce the weight of garbage produced to 85% of the weig
Effectus [21]
Chun wants to <span>reduce the weight of garbage produced to 85% of the weight produced this month. 
This means that, Chun's garbage weight next month should be equal to 85% of his garbage weight this month.

Translating this into an equation, we will find that:
garbage weight next month = 85% of garbage weight this month
garbage weight next month = 0.85 * garbage weight this month
garbage weight next month = 0.85*690 
garbage weight next month = 586.5 pounds

Based on the above calculations, his target weight for the garbage next month is </span>586.5 pounds

In ΔEFG, the measure of ∠G=90°, EF = 95 feet, and FG = 26 feet. Find the measure of ∠F to the nearest degree.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

74.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • ∠G=90° => ΔEFG is a right triangle
  • EF = 95 feet
  • FG = 26 feet

Use sine law to find ∠F

As we know:

Sin(GEF)/ GF = Sin(EGF)/EF

<=> Sin(GEF) / 26 = Sin(90)/95

<=>Sin(GEF) / 26 = 1/95

<=> Sin(GEF)  = 26/95

<=> ∠GEF ≈ 15.8°

=> ∠F = 180° - ∠G - ∠GEF

∠F = 180° - 90° - 15.8° = 74.4°

Find the inverse of the relation (-3,4), (-1,0), (6,0).
allochka39001 [22]

To find the inverse of a relation, we switch the x and y values in each point.

So the inverse would be {(4, -3), (0, -1), (0, 6).

Which equation best represents the line? (10 Points)
son4ous [18]

Answer: D. y = 3x − 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

From the graph,

y2 = 2

y1 = - 1

x2 = 1

x1 = 0

Slope,m = (2 - - 1)/(1 - 0) = 3/1 = 3

To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 1, y = 2 and m= 3 into y = mx + c

y = mx + c. It becomes

2 = 3 × 1 + c = 3 + c

c = 2 - 3 = - 1

The equation becomes

y = 3x - 1
