Answer:

Option C) 45°  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Height of building = 190 feet

Length of shadow = 190 feet

Let \theta be the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the building.

Relation:

\tan \theta = \dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \dfrac{\text{Height of building}}{\text{Length of shadow}}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \dfrac{19}{19}=1\\\\\Rightarrow \theta = \tan^{-1}(1)\\\Rightarrow \theta = 45^\circ

Thus, the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the building is

Option C) 45°

Look at the graph shown<br> Which equation best represents the line?
Brilliant_brown [7]

y=\frac{11}{4}x +4 is the equation best represents the line.

Solution:

Take any two points on the line.

Let the points be (0, –4) and (4, 7).

x_1=0,y_1=-4,x_2=4, y_2=7

General form of equation of a line is y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.

<em>y-intercept is the point which line crosses at y-axis.</em>

In the given line, y-intercept is 4.

c = 4

Slope of the line:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

$m=\frac{7-(-4)}{4-0}

$m=\frac{11}{4}

Equation of the line:

y = mx + c

y=\frac{11}{4}x +4

Hence y=\frac{11}{4}x +4 is the equation best represents the line.

I am confused on how to do this
babymother [125]
So, u would start by expanding the bracket and ignoring the 2 at the moment.
(x+9)(x+9)= x^2-18x+81(using the foil method!

Then u would put 2 at the front to get:
2(x^2+18x+81)
= 2x^2+36x+162

330,000 write using Scientific Notation.
Greeley [361]
330,000=3.3*100,000=3.3*10^{5}

the first number must be between 1 and 10 (here is 3.3)
the power (here is 5) is an integer exponent of 10 that indicates how many places the decimal point must be moved to make equation true

Greetings,

Suppose y varies directly as x and y=21 when x=7. which is an equation relating x and y
astra-53 [7]
Y varies directly as x: y=kx, k is a constant.
when x=7, y=21, so we know k=3
therefore, the equation is y=3x
