Answer:

55.53 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a flagpole stands in the middle of a flat, level field. 50 feet away from its base, a surveyor measures the angle to the top of the flagpole as 48 degrees.

We can see from attached photo that flagpole, the surveyor forms a right triangle with respect to ground.    

\text{tan}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}

\text{tan}(48^{\circ})=\frac{h}{50}

\text{tan}(48^{\circ})*50=\frac{h}{50}*50

1.110612514829*50=h

h=1.110612514829*50

h=55.53062574

h\approx 55.53

Therefore, the height of the flagpole is approximately 55.53 feet.

nikitadnepr [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. break up the shape into 2 triangles and one rectangle

step 2. A = area of triangle 1 (t1) + area of triangle 2 (t2) + area of the rectangle (r)

step 3. t1 = (1/2)bh where b is the base and h is the height. definition of the area of a triangle.

step 4. t1 = (1/2)(3)(2) = 3ft^2.

step 5. t2 = (1/2)(3)(3) = 4.5ft^2.

step 6. r = bh where b is the base and h is the height. definition of the area of a rectangle.

step 7. r = bh = (8)(4) = 32ft^2.

step 8. A = t1 + t2 + r = 3 + 4.5 + 32 = 39.5ft^2.

Paul is going to have the exterior of his home painted. Painting USA charges $75.00 to come out and evaluate the house plus $25.
user100 [1]
Given:$75
25 hours

Painting USA : Fixed cost: $75 ; Variable Cost: $25x
Total Cost = 75 + 25(25) = 75 + 625 = 700

Upscale Home Painting: No Fixed Cost ; Variable Cost : $40x
Total Cost = 40(25) = 1,000

The most cost effective company will be Painting USA whose charge will amount to $700.

Complete the square to rewrite y-x^2-6x+14 in vertex form. then state whether the vertex is a maximum or minimum and give its co
ycow [4]

Answer:

y= x^2 -6x +(\frac{6}{2})^2 +14 -(\frac{6}{2})^2

And solving we have:

y= x^2 -6x +9 + 14 -9

y= (x-3)^2 +5

And we can write the expression like this:

y-5 = (x-3)^2

The vertex for this case would be:

V= (3,5)

And the minimum for the function would be 3 and there is no maximum value for the function

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following equation given:

y= x^2 -6x +14

We can complete the square like this:

y= x^2 -6x +(\frac{6}{2})^2 +14 -(\frac{6}{2})^2

And solving we have:

y= x^2 -6x +9 + 14 -9

y= (x-3)^2 +5

And we can write the expression like this:

y-5 = (x-3)^2

The vertex for this case would be:

V= (3,5)

And the minimum for the function would be 3 and there is no maximum value for the function
