The height is 1943.8 feet. easiest way to do this is draw a little diagram. Draw the building and the unknown height can be "x". We know a 1000 feet away from the base of the building, the angle between the ground and top of the building is 11 degrees. If you draw this, you can see that you can use the tan function to find the missing "x". tan (angle) = opposite side/adjacent side. So tan(11) = x/1000. Isolate for x and you get 1943.8 feet

Can someone please explain to me how to do numbers 2 and 3??

The answer to question 3 is 1 person orders chicken and the other 5 had steak dinner.

the way you work this out is you half 6 which is three and then do 3x14 and 3x17
3x14=42
3x17=51
42+51=93
this is too less so you have to do less of the cheaper meal (14) and more of the dearer one (17) so I went to 1x14 and 5x17
1x14=14
5x17=85
14+85=99
add these together and it makes 99

the answer to question 14 is 5 adults and 3 students

to do this you do exactly the same as how you do question 3

galben [10]

Answer:

division equation  

x/6 = 12

The size he should buy = 72 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Ortega bought a ham. He wants to divide it into 6 ounce serving for 12 people . The division equation to find what size of ham Mr Ortega should buy is represented below.

Mr Ortega wants to share for each person 6 ounce serving for 12 people.

Let the amount of ounce he will buy = x ounces

Therefore, the division equation to find what size of hams Mr Ortega should buy will be

x/6 = 12

To find x we cross multiply

x = 12 × 6

x = 72 ounces

How to state gradient and y-intercept
n200080 [17]

In summary. The graph of each equation is a straight line, m is the gradient of the line and c is the y-intercept. Conversely, if a straight line has gradient m and y-intercept c it has equation y = mx + c.

Reduce the ratio to its lowest form. 72:8​
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

9:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).  

The GCF of 72 and 8 is 8  

Divide both terms by the GCF, 8:

72 ÷ 8 = 9

8 ÷ 8 = 1  

The ratio 72 : 8 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 8 :  

72 : 8 = 9 : 1  

Therefore:

72 : 8 = 9 : 1
