The angle of depression from the top of a flag pole to a point on the ground is 30°. If the point on the ground is 75 feet from

the base of the flag pole, how tall is the pole to the nearest foot?

The angle of depression is the angle that is created from a horizontal line drawn from the upper angle of the right triangle that is created in this situation. The angle of depression is an angle exterior to the triangle. It is complementary to the interior angle. So if the angle of depression is 30 and lie outside the triangle, the interior angle has to measure 60. The pole creates a 90 angle with the ground, so what we have here is a 30-60-90 triangle. The one base angle is the right angle (the one the pole makes with the ground) and the other base angle measures 30. We are given the length of the base leg as 75 and we are looking for the height of the pole (the other leg). You would use the tangent ratio to solve for the height of the pole.
Tan(30)=x/75, and 75 tan(30)=x. Doing that on your calculator in degree mode gives you a pole height of 43.3 feet, or 43 feet (which is the height to the nearest foot)

Ok so I need help on how to understand unit rate cause I can't understand my teacher at all XD
Margarita [4]

Answer:

A unit rate is a rate where the second quantity is one unit , such as:

  • $34 per pound
  • 25 miles per hour
  • 1 minute = 60 seconds
  • 1 hour = 60 minutes
  • Cost per litre.

Unit rate is used to compare quantities in which the second quantity is one.

The measure of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is one-fourth
aniked [119]

Answer:

measure of each base angle =  80 each angle

measure of vertex angle = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

x=base angle    

2x+ x/4= 180

Multiply everything by 4 to eliminate the fraction

8x+x = 720

9x=720

x=80

80/4=12

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. 2x2−6x+1=0 Enter your answers, in simplified radical form, in the boxes. x = or
kodGreya [7K]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
 1. You have the following quadratic equation given in the exercise above:
 2x²−6x+1=0 
 2. The quadratic equation is:
 x=[-b±√(b²-4ac)]/2a
 Where:
 a=2
 b=-6
 c=1
 3. When you substitute these values into the quadratic equation, you obtain:
 x=3/2-√(7)/2
 x=3/2+√(7)/2

A certain culture of year increases by 50% every three hours. A scientist places 9 grams of yeast in a culture dish. Write the e
miskamm [114]

Answer: a) Explicit formula :f(x)=9(1.5)^{3x}

b) Recursive formula : f(x)=9(1.5)^{3x} and f(x+1)=f(x)\times 1.5^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of grams of yeast in a culture dish initially = 9 grams

According to question, a certain culture of year increases by 50 % every three hours.

So, the explicit formula will be

f(x)=9(1+\frac{50}{100})^{3x}\\\\f(x)=9(1+0.5)^{3x}\\\\f(x)=9(1.5)^{3x}

And the recursive formula will be

f(x)=9(1.5)^{3x}\\\\f(x+1)=9(1.5)^{3(x+1)}\\\\f(x+1)=9(1.5)^{3x+3}\\\\f(x+1)=9(1.5)^{3x}.(1.5)^3\\\\f(x+1)=f(x)\times 1.5^3

Hence, a) Explicit formula : f(x)=9(1.5)^{3x}

b) Recursive formula :f(x)=9(1.5)^{3x} and  f(x+1)=f(x)\times 1.5^3
