Answer:

The height of the building is H = 11.65 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from the base of the building to the person = 50 yards

Angle of elevation = 25°

From Δ ABC

⇒ \tan 25 = \frac{H}{25}

⇒ H = 25 \tan 25

⇒ H = 11.65 yards

Therefore  the height of the building is H = 11.65 yards

nydimaria [60]

Answer: <u><em>Miles ran by Matt = 6 miles</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation: Miles ran by Stan = 4 7/10

i.e. 1 3/10 miles less than Matt.

∴ Miles ran by Matt = 4 7/10 + 1 3/10 = 60/10 = 6miles

∴<u><em> Miles ran by Matt = 6 miles</em></u>

Given that cosθ=7/25 , what is sinθ ?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

sin(θ)   = 24/25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily solve this problem by applying the trigonometric identity

sin(x) ^2  +  cos(x) ^2   =  1

In this case

sin(θ) ^2  +  cos(θ) ^2   =  1

sin(θ) ^2   =  1  -  cos(θ) ^2

sin(θ) ^2   =  1  -  (7/25) ^2

sin(θ) ^2   =  1  -  (49/625)

sin(θ) ^2   =  576/625

sin(θ)   = √( 576/625)

sin(θ)   = 24/25

Evaluating a piece wise defined function
snow_tiger [21]

Given : If x ≠ -2 then f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x - 1

As -5 ≠ -2 ⇒ f(-5) = \frac{3}{4}(-5) - 1 = (\frac{-15}{4} - 1) = \frac{-19}{4}

Given : if x = -2 then f(x) = -1

As x = -2 ⇒ f(-2) = -1

Given : If x ≠ -2 then f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x - 1

As 2 ≠ -2 ⇒ f(2) = \frac{3}{4}(2) - 1 = (\frac{3}{2} - 1) = \frac{1}{2}
