For this case, what we must do is solve the following system of equations:
tan (50) = h / x
tan (40) = h / (x + 50)
Solving the system we have:
(x + 50) * tan (40) = h
(x) * tan (50) = h
Matching:
(x + 50) * tan (40) = (x) * tan (50)
Rewriting:
x (tan (50) - tan (40)) = 50 * tan (40)
x = 50 * tan (40) / (tan (50) - tan (40))
x = 118.9692621
Substituting:
h = (x) * tan (50)
h = (118.9692621) * tan (50)
h = 141.7820455
Answer:
The height of the building is:
h = 141.7820455 ft
Answer:
8 < x < 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider an angle slightly less than 180 between the 4 and 12 ft sides. The measure between the 2 end points is slightly less than the total of the two sides. So the greatest length is 16.
Consider an angle slightly more than 0 between the 4 and 12 ft sides. The measure between the 2 end points is slightly more than the difference between the two sides. So the lowest length is 8.
Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
52/130 =.4
.4 x 100=40
The functions are:

and

.
After 2 weeks, under no risk of spiders, the population of the flies is calculated by the function as

.
Similarly, we calculate s(2)=2(2)+5=4+5=9, which means that the spider consumes 9 flies in 2 weeks.
Thus, out of 32 flies, 9 are eaten by the spider, so there are 32-9=23 flies left.
Answer: 23
Dividing 5x+4 by x requires dividing each term of 5x+4 by x:
5x
----
5
Next step: divide 4 by x
Final answer: 5 + 4/x
Sounds as tho' there were a number of answer choices. Next time, please share the answer choices. Thanks.
