A slide 4.4 m long makes an angle of 33 with the ground. How high is the top of the slide above the ground

Using the information given we will only need the Cosine and Sine equations. i made a diagram (cant take a picture, in my study hall) labeled the sides of the triangle A, B, and C. with C as the hypotenuse, A as the Opposite, and B as the adjacent (will not be needed as A is the height). i will be rounding the th nearest thousandth.
Using Sine (SIN=Opposite/Hypotenuse), we can find A.

SIN(33)=A/4.4

SIN(33)≈.545

.545≈A/4.4

now multiply each side by 4.4 to get rid of the division

(.545*4.4)≈((A/4.4)4.4)

2.396≈A

so the answer would be that the slide is about 2.396 M high

Serga [27]

Answer:

The mother is 30 and the daughter is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving for this, you can derive the equations

x=5y and x+6= 3(y+6)

x= mother and y= Daughter

Solve the equations by substituting the first equation into the places of x in the second equation to get the value of x. Next, pug in the value of x and solve for y.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 is really -1 * 4

-4² = -1 * 4²

-4² = -1 * 16

-4² = -16

Use parenthesis to square

(-1 * 4)² = (-4)²

(-4)² = 16

Answer:

t=2

Step-by-step explanation:

I worked it out and got this answer as well but checked it in a calculator and couldn't send my pic in. I hope its right but if t is with 2 on the denominator then its a whole different answer.
