It is -3 to start off with, on Monday. On Tuesday morning it would be -3 - 2 degrees, = -5 degrees. By Tuesday evening it was 4 degrees lower than in the morning, so -5 - 4 degrees = -9 degrees on Tuesday evening.
Hope this helps xox :)
Use Pythagorean identity to find x value and solve using formulas
Answer:
The first step is
Take the square root of both sides of the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
Solve for x
step 1
Take square root both sides
the solutions are
and 
therefore
The first step is
Take the square root of both sides of the equation
By using what we know about right triangles, we conclude that the height is 11ft.
<h3>
How far is the top of the escalator from the ground floor? </h3>
We can think of this as a right triangle.
Where the length of the escalator is the hypotenuse
We know that the angle of depression is 42.51°, then the top angle of our right triangle is:
90° - 42.51° = 47.49°
Now, the height of the top of the escalator would be the adjacent cathetus to said angle, then we can use the relation:
cos(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
Replacing what we know:
cos(47.49°) = height/16ft
cos(47.49°) *16ft = height = 10.8ft
Rounding to the nearest foot, we get:
height = 11ft
