Answer:

The angle of elevation to the top of the building is 63.61 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate angle of elevation to the top of the building.

For this, we need a triangle

Please check for this in the attachment.

From the diagram, we are to calculate the angle theta.

To do this, we use trigonometric identities.

Looking at what we have, we have the hypotenuse and the adjacent.

So the trigonometric identity to use is the cosine

Mathematically Cosine theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

Thus, Cos theta = 20/45

Cos theta = 0.444444444444444

Theta = Arc cos(0.444444444444444)

Theta = 63.61 degrees

C) Write the equation in factored form. The equation is y= x^2 - 8x - 20 // Need answer ASAP
netineya [11]

The first term will be an x because

x squared breaks down as x times x.

First look for factors of your constant that add to your

coefficient of the middle term in the trinomial.

Also note that the constant is negative and a negative

factors as the product of a positive and a negative.

The factors of -20 that add to -8 are -10 and +2.

So we have y = (x - 10)(x + 2).
