David is standing 500 feet away from the base of a cell phone tower. The angle of elevation from his eyes to the top of the towe

Answer:

height of the tower = 2358.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we can use the tangent relation of the angle of elevation, where the opposite side of the angle is the height of the tower minus six feet and the adjacent side of the angle is the distance from David to the tower. So, we have that:

tangent(78) = (height - 6)/500

4.7046 = (height - 6) / 500

height - 6 = 2352.3

height = 2358.3 feet

Answer:

<em>I</em>(-1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving 3 units left adds -3 to x value

Moving 6 units up adds 6 to the y value

2 - 3 = -1

-3 + 6 = 3

(-1,3)

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

The coordinates of A and B are (3k, 8) and (k, -3) respectively. Given that the gradient of the line segment AB is 3, find the v
Vladimir [108]

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient = slope or several other words.

it describes how strongly a line (or tangent to a bent curve) is going up or down or ... if it is changing at all.

it is represented by the ratio

(y coordinate change / x coordinate change)

when going from one point on the line to another.

in our case, when going from A to B we have

x changes by -2k (from 3k to k).

y changes by -11 (from 8 to -3).

so, the gradient or slope is

-11/-2k = 3

11/2k = 3

11 = 3×2k = 6k

k = 11/6

A = (33/6, 8) = (11/2, 8)

B = (11/6, -3)

Answer:

2. RS = ST, Reason: Midpoint of a line (definition)

4. RS = XY, Reason: Transitive Property of congruence (if a=b, and b=c, a=c)

Step-by-step explanation:

A Midpoint divides a line exactly in half, due to the definition of a Midpoint. So, RS = ST, since they measure the same distance from the Midpoint. RS=XY because of the Transitive Property of Congruence. If ST = XY, and RS = ST, then RS = XY.

Can anyone do 4,5 and 6 for me plz
cricket20 [7]

For  question 4, sinA =\frac{a}{c}, cosA= \frac{b}{c}, tan B = \frac{b}{a}, sin J = \frac{j}{l}, cosK = \frac{j}{l}, tanK = \frac{k}{j}.

Question 5. Option a and question 6. Option j

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The three basic formula needed to solve these questions are:

sin\theta = \frac{oppositeside}{hypotenuse} , cos\theta = \frac{adjacentside}{hypotenuse}, tan\theta= \frac{opposite side}{adjacent side}.

Step 2:

Using the above formula, we solve the following values

sinA = \frac{oppositeside}{hypotenuse}  =\frac{a}{c}.

cosA = \frac{adjacentside}{hypotenuse} = \frac{b}{c}.

tanB= \frac{opposite side}{adjacent side}= \frac{b}{a}.

sinJ = \frac{oppositeside}{hypotenuse} = \frac{j}{l}.

cosK = \frac{adjacentside}{hypotenuse}= \frac{j}{l}.

tanK= \frac{opposite side}{adjacent side}= \frac{k}{j}.

Step 3:

For question 5, The triangle's angle = 23°, opposite side = BC inches and hypotenuse = 4 inches.

sin\theta= \frac{opposite side}{hypotenuse}. sin 23^{\circ}= \frac{BC}{4}, sin23^{\circ} = 0.3907,BC = (0.3907)(4) = 1.5628.

SO BC is 1.5628 inches, rounding this off to the nearest tenth, we get BC = 1.6 inches which is option a.

Step 4:

For question 6, The triangle's angle = 50°, opposite side = QR m the adjacent side = 8.1 m.

tan\theta= \frac{opposite side}{adjacentside}. tan 50^{\circ}=\frac{QR}{8.1}, tan50^{\circ} = 1.1917,QR = (1.1917)(8.1) = 9.65277

SO QR is 9.65277 meters, rounding this off to the nearest tenth, we get QR = 9.7 inches which is option j.
