Answer:

23.094 ft approximately

(If you want your answer in a different format, let me know please.)

Step-by-step explanation:

I would have solve this using tangent since the side opposite to x is asked for and the adjacent side to side is given as having a measurement of 40 ft.

But I think they want you to use the formula:

l=\frac{b}{\cos(x)}.

l=\frac{40}{\cos(30)}

Input into calculator:

l=46.188 (approximation)

l represents the length of the roof.

So we have l=46.188 and b=40.

We must use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height,h, for of the roof.

l is the hypotenuse.

h^2+40^2=46.188^2

h^2+1600=2133.331

Subtract 1600 on both sides:

h^2=533.331

Take square root of both sides:

h=23.094

The answer is 23.094 feet for the height that roof reaches on the building.

I want to show you another way:

\tan(x)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}

\tan(30)=\frac{h}{40}

Multiply both sides by 40:

40\tan(30)=h

Input into calculator:

23.094=h

I didn't do it this way because your problem suggested you use their formula to find the height.

Answer:

40/√3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Base of the roof,b=40 feet

Base angle,x=30°

Formula to calculate length of the roof,l=

\frac{b}{ \cos(x) }

or,l=40/cos(30°)

or,l=40*(√3/2)

or,l=80/√3

Now,In the above triangle, using Pythagoras formula,

hypotenuse^2=base^2+height^2

If total height be h,

h^2+b^2=l^2

or,h^2=l^2-b^2

or,h^2=(80/√3)^2-40^2

or,h^2=6400/3 - 1600

or,h^2=1600/3

or,h=40/√3

ANS:40/√3 feet

Giovanni purchased 25tickets to an airshow. the cost of an adult's ticket is $14 and the child's ticket is $8. if the total cost
Masteriza [31]

Giovanni purchased 20 adult tickets and 5 child's tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x = Adult tickets

y = Child's tickets

According to given statement;

x+y=25 Eqn 1

One adult ticket costs $14 and one child ticket costs $8, therefore,

14x+8y=320 Eqn 2

Multiplying\ Eqn\ 1\ by\ 8\\8(x+y=25)\\8x+8y=200\ Eqn\ 3\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 3\ from\ Eqn\ 2\\(14x+8y)-(8x+8y)=320-200\\14x+8y-8x-8y=120\\6x=120\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 6\\\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{120}{6}\\x=20

Putting value of x in Eqn 1;

20+y=25\\y=25-20\\y=5

Giovanni purchased 20 adult tickets and 5 child's tickets.

What is the value of x in the equation 7x + 2y = 48 , when y = 3?
storchak [24]
7x + 2y = 48

7x + (2x3) =48
7x + 6 = 48
7x = 48 - 6
7x = 42

--> x = 6
