A diagram would surely help here. But imagine that you stand at spot A and someone finds that your distance from the base of the building is 42 feet. Call this point B.
Imagine a vertical line from that spot, straight up. Label the top of this line C.
The acute angle at A is 67 degrees. You want to find the height of the building, which would be the length of the "opposite side of triangle ABC."
The length of the "adjacent side of triangle ABC" would be 42 feet.
We don't know the length of the hypotenuse, altho' we could easilyl calculate it using the Pyth. Them.
We choose the tangent function to solve for the height of the building (which is the length of the opposite side.
height
By definition, tangent (67 degrees) = -------------------------------------
42 feet
Find tan 67. Multiply your result by 42 feet. This product is the height of the building.
Okay, so the first graph shows the amount that Leona is payed versus the number of newspapers she delivers.
We can clearly see from the graph; the more newspapers she delivers, the more she's payed.
For the second question (the table), it looks like the fixed fee for the boat rental was $27, as that's the number that really doesn't match the rest of the table. (Not to mention it's the very first number.
Then, the hourly rate is $12, as the price rises by 12 every hour after hour 1.
For the third question, the y-intercept is the amount of money in Colby's savings after x amount of years.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
7/12
1)7*2/12*2 = 14/24
2) 7*3 / 12*3 = 21/36
3) 7*4/12*4 = 28/48
I got the answer 1.. hope it works!
