Answer:

The height of the tower is 141.74 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Let the position of the tower os AB with A as the base and B is the top.

Now, angle of elevation of point B from point C is 50°, and the from point D is 40°, and hence, CD = 50 meters,

Now, from Δ ABC, \tan 50 = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{x}{AC}

⇒ AC = \frac{x}{\tan 50} = 0.839x .......... (1)

Again, from Δ ABD,  \tan 40 = \frac{AB}{AD} = \frac{x}{AD}

⇒ AD = \frac{x}{\tan 40} =1.192x .......... (2)

Now, DC = AD - AC  

⇒ 50 = 1.192x - 0.839x

⇒ 50 = 0.353x

⇒ x = 141.74 meters.

Hence, the height of the tower is 141.74 meters. (Answer)

Y varies directly as x if y is 2 when x is 8 then the constant of variation is 1/4
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a. True.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx

y = 2 when x = 8 gives:

2 = 8 * k

k = 2/8 = 1/4.

In order to find all of these, you first must convert the percentage to a decimal. This would be 13% to 0.13.

Now, multiply 0.13 by all of these into a calculator.

1800 • 0.13 = 234
950 • 0.13 = 123.50
2200 • 0.13 = 286
3000 • 0.13 = 390
2600 • 0.13 = 338

The graph below shows the solution to which system of inequalities?
Archy [21]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal line, y=2, is solid and shaded above, so it represents

y \geqslant 2

The slanted line, y=x is dashed and shaded below, so it represents y<x.
