Tan theta = 25/12, so
theta = tan^-1 (25/15)

Answer: Hence, the angle of elevation with the top of the flag is 59° and

And the equation would be \theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{AB}{BC})

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height of top of the flag = 25 feet

Distance of the base of flagpole from the person standing on the ground = 15 feet

We need to find the angle of elevation θ :

Consider ΔABC,

\tan \theta=\dfrac{AB}{BC}\\\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{25}{15}\\\\\tan \theta=1.67\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(1.67)\\\\\theta=59^\circ

Hence, the angle of elevation with the top of the flag is 59°.

And the equation would be

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{AB}{BC})

In a candy mix there are 4 green bars for every 3 red bars. How many red bars are there if there are 200 green bars
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Since there are 4 green bars for every 3 red bars and we are trying to find the number of red bars if there are 200 green bars, we can create the ratio:

4 x : 3 y

Where  x  is equal to the number of green bars and  y is the number of red bars.

We know the number of green bars is equal to 200, so we can divide it by 4, giving us:

200 /4=50

Then we can solve for  y , the number of red bars.

// Multiple y  by 50

3 ⋅ 50 = 150

So for every 4 green bars, there are 3 red bars.

For every 200 green bars, there are 150 red bars

Makayla has $8 to buy tickets at the school fair. each ticket costs $1.50. which inequality best represents how many tickets she
forsale [732]

Answer:

N < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

"Makayla has $8 to buy tickets at the school fair. each ticket costs $1.50" can be written as $8 = ($1.50/ticket)*N.

Dividing both sides by ($1.50/ticket) results in

        $8

---------------------- = 5 1/3 tickets

 ($1.50/ticket)

or N < 5.

Determine the type and number of solutions of x^2 + 10x − 25 = 0.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

There is exactly 1 solution and it is a double root.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, factor the equation and solve.

x^2 + 10x - 25 = 0

(x - 5)(x - 5) = 0

Now that we have this factored, we can set each parenthesis equal to 0 and solve separately.

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

Because there are two of the exact same answer, we know it to be a double root.

horsena [70]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

His answer is incorrect.  If we round the dimensions, 3.76 m is almost 4 m, and 5.49 m is almost 5.5 m.  4 × 5.5 = 22.  So his answer should be close to 22 m².
