A car is approaching a building. When it is 300 ft away, the angle of depression from the top of the building to the car is 42°.

To the nearest foot, how tall is the building?

Answer: 333.2ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can draw a triangle rectangle, where the distance between the base of the building and the car is one cathetus (300ft)

The height of the building is the other cathetus.

Now, we know that the angle of depression from the top of the building to the car is 42°

This angle is measured from a perpendicular line in from the building, so the "top angle" of the triangle rectangle will be:

90° - 42° = 48°

if we steep on this angle, the 300ft cathetus is the opposite cathetus and the height of the building is the adjacent cathetus.

Here we can use the relation:

Tan(A) = Opposite cathetus/adjacent cathetus:

Then:

Tan(48°) = H/300ft

Tan(48°)*300ft = H = 333.2ft

Answer:

270 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression from the top of the building to the car = 42° and the distance from the car to the building is 300 ft.

This can be represented by a right triangle with:

Adjacent side to the angle = distance from the car to the building = 300 ft, opposite side to angle = height of building = x and angle (θ) = 42°

From trigonometry:

tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\Therefore:\\tan(42)=\frac{x}{300}\\ x = 300*tan(42)= 300*0.9\\x=270ft

The height of the building is 270 ft

Find the equation of the line, in point-slope form then slope-intercept form, that
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Point slope: y+4=4(x-3)

Slope-intercept: y=4x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use the slope formula to find the slope.

y2-y1/x2-x1

8--4/6-3 = 12/3

Slope is 4

2. Use the slope and one of the coordinates to put the equation in point-slope form.

Point slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+4=4(x-3)

3. Distribute and simplify to put it in slope-intercept form.

y+4=4x-12

y=4x-16

If the candidate only wants a 0.2% margin of error at a 95% confidence level, what size of sample is needed?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

n = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Using

n = p(1-p)(Zc/E)²

From table E = 0.2 while p= 0.37

So substituting

We have n= 22.4

Thats a sample size of approximately 22

Angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair. The measure of angle 2 is six more than twice the measure of angle 1. Find m angle 2
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Since the given problem states that the two angles, angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair, this means that they form a 180° line, so that:

measure angle 1 + measure angle 2 = 180°

 

Since measure of angle 2 is six more than twice the measure of angle 1, therefore:

measure angle 2 = 2 (measure angle 1) + 6

 

hence, substituting this into the first equation:

measure angle 1 + 2 (measure angle 1) + 6 = 180

3 (measure angle 1) = 174

measure angle 1 = 58°

 

Therefore,

measure angle 2 = 2 (measure angle 1) + 6

measure angle 2 = 2 (58°) + 6

<span>measure angle 2 = 122°</span>
