slope = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is the coefficient attached to the x variable: thus the 4

so slope is 4 after you distribute the 4 to x and 8 and add 3

Engineers and surveyors often determine distances that cannot be measured directly by using similar triangles like the ones show

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

102 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram attached.

From right triangle Δ ADC,

$\sin 30 = \frac{DC}{AC} = \frac{80}{AC}$

⇒ AC = 160 ft. {Since $\sin 30 = \frac{1}{2}$ }

Now, given that BC = 42 ft.

Hence, AB = AC - BC = 160 - 42 = 118 ft.

Now, from right triangle Δ AEB we can write

$\cos 30 = \frac{AE}{AB} = \frac{AE}{118}$

⇒ $AE = 118 \cos 30 = 102.19$ ft ≈ 102 ft.

Therefore, the closest distance from point A on one bank to point E on the opposite bank is 102 ft. (Answer)
