Due in 1 hours, 24 minutes. Due Fri 06/28/2019 11:59 p A survey team is trying to estimate the height of a mountain above a leve

l plain. From one point on the plain, they observe that the angle of elevation to the top of the mountain is 24°. From a point 1000 feet closer to the mountain along the plain, they find that the angle of elevation is 26 How high (in feet) is the mountain? Preview

Answer:

Height of the mountain is 5108.80 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached, h is the height of a mountain AB.

At a point C angle of elevation of the mountain is 24°

Now survey team gets closer to the mountain by 1000 feet then angle of elevation is 26°.

Now from ΔABC,

tan24 = \frac{h}{x+1000}

0.445 = \frac{h}{x+1000}

h = 0.445(x + 1000)------(1)

From ΔABD,

tan26 = \frac{h}{x}

0.4877 = \frac{h}{x}

h = 0.4877x -----(2)

Now we equation 1 and equation 2

0.4452(x + 1000) = 0.4877x

0.4877x - 0.4452x = 1000(0.4452)

0.0425x = 445.20

x = \frac{445.20}{0.0425}

x = 10475.29 feet

Now we plug in the value of x in equation 2.

h = (10475.29)×(0.4877)

h = 5108.80 feet

Therefore, height of the mountain is 5108.80 feet

Through: (2,2), parallel to y=x+42)
shtirl [24]

Answer:

y=x

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a line parallel to y =x+42

The slope of y =x+42 is 1

Parallel lines have the same slope

We have the slope m=1 and a point (2,2)

We can use point slope form to write a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-2 = 1(x-2) point slope form

Changing to slope intercept form

y-2 = x-2

Add 2 to each side

y-2+2 = x-2+2

y=x

You can just put this into a calculator:

1/2^2 = 0.25

3×5-3 = 12

1^3 = 1

0.25 × 12 + 1 = 4
