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

Simplify 6 to the 5th power over 7 to the 3rd power times 2
Anon25 [30]
My answer -

<span>1. Use symbols (not words) to express quotient
 

2. Use exponent symbol (^) to denote exponents

3. Just write out question number, question, and choices. No need for extra information (such as points). Also, don't leave blank lines between choices. This extraneous that we don't need just makes your whole question very very long, and means a lot of scrolling on our part.
 

4. You should only post 2 or 3 questions at a time.


1) (6x^3 − 18x^2 − 12x) / (−6x) = −x^2 + 3x + 2 ----> so much simpler to read !

2) (d^7 g^13) / (d^2 g^7) = d^(7−2) g^(13−7) = d^5 g^6 ----> much easier to read !

3) (4x − 6)^2 = 16x^2 − 24x − 24x + 36 = 16x^2 − 48x + 36

4) (x^2 / y^5)^4 = (x^2)^4 / (y^5)^4 = x^8 / y^20

5) (3x + 5y)(4x − 3y) = 12x^2 − 9xy + 20xy − 15y^2 = 12x^2 + 11xy − 15y^2

6) (3x^3y^4z^4)(2x^3y^4z^2) = (3*2) x^(3+3) y^(4+4) z^(4+2) = 6 x^6 y^8 z^6

7) 5x + 3x^4 − 7x^3 ----> Fourth degree trinomial

8) (5x^3 − 5x − 8) + (2x^3 + 4x + 2) = 7x^3 − x − 6

9) (x − 1) + (2x + 5) − (x + 3) = x + 1

10) (−4g^8h^5k^2)0(hk^2)^2 = 0 (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)
or.. (−4g^8h^5k^2)^0(hk^2)^2 = 1 (h^2 (k^2)^2) = h^2 k^4

Last question shows why it is so important to use proper symbols (such as ^ to indicate exponents). Without such symbols, I could not tell if the 0 was an actual number and part of multiplication, of if 0 was an exponent of the expression preceding it.


P.S

Glad to help you have an AWESOME!!! day :)
