Draw a right triangle to represent the problem.
The vertical height of the triangle is 9 ft, and it represents the tree.
The horizontal length, at the bottom of the tree is ground level and has a length of 13 ft.

Let x =  angle of elevation.

By definition,
tan x = 9/13 = 0.6923
x = arctan(0.6923) = 34.7 deg. = 35 deg (approx)

Answer: 35°

Convert the following standard form inequality (Ax + By = C) to slope intercept form (y = mx + b):
andre [41]

Answer:

For whatever reason, there are different formats for simple linear equations. I prefer the slope-intercept form; at times, the point-slope form is helpful; some textbooks strongly prefer what they sometimes call the "intercept" form, which is often (though not always) given as being "Ax + By = C", so-called because the intercepts are at \small{ \left(0,\,\frac{C}{B}\right) }(0,

B

C

) and \small{ \left(\frac{C}{A},\,0\right) }(

A

C

,0). (Still others prefer a "standard" form, for which there is no actual standard. But I digress.)

Round to the nearest whole number to estimate the sum of 23.19 and 13.7. Then give the exact sum.
Olegator [25]
If you round 23.19 to the nearest whole number you get 23 and if you round 13.7 you get 13. 13+23 is 33. The real numbers are 23.19 and 13.7, add them together and you get 36.89. The exact sum is 36.89 (:
