Answer:
- building: 222.61 ft
- flagpole: 32.15 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent function of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. Here, the adjacent side is 500 ft, so we have ...
tan(24°) = (building height)/(500 ft)
building height = (500 ft)tan(24°) ≈ 222.61 ft
__
Similarly, the height to the top of the flagpole is ...
total height = (500 ft)tan(27°) ≈ 254.76 ft
The length of the flagpole is the difference of these heights:
flagpole length = 254.76 ft -222.61 ft = 32.15 ft
The height of the building is 222.61 ft; the length of the flagpole is 32.15 ft.

Answer:
y=-1/4x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1.
Our given line:
y=4x-5
the slope (m) in it is 4. To find the slope of the perpendicular line:
4m=-1
divide by 4
m=-1/4
the slope of the new line is -1/4
here's our equation so far:
y=-1/4x+b
Since the line will pass through the point (-4,6) we can use it to solve for b (y intercept)
so substitute (-4,6) into the equation
6=-1/4(-4)+b
6=1+b
5=b
the y intercept is 5
so our equation is:
y=-1/4x+5
hope this helps! :D
Answer:
x = -1, -7
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 = 7
-9 = 0 (Taking 7 to the other side)
- 
= 0
Now use the difference of two squares rule
[((x+4)+3).((x+4)-3)] = 0
[(x+7).(x+1)] = 0
Now solve for x
x = -1, -7
