Tan x = 292 / 131 where x = angle of elevation

x = 65.84 degrees

Tanα=height/shadow

α=arctan(height/shadow)

α=arctan(292/131)°

α≈65.84° (to nearest hundredth of a degree)

Ruiz needs to buy a countertop for a kitchen. He calculated the area to be 16 square feet. The actual area is 15.4 square feet.

Percentage error $=\frac{error}{actual measurement} \times 100$
Here error = 16 - 15.4 = 0.6
Therefore, percentage error $=\frac{0.6}{15.4} \times 100=0.039 \times 100$
=3.9%

Find two consecutive odd integers such that 32 more than the lesser is three times the greater

Maslowich

Answer:

First odd number = 13

Second odd number = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

First odd number = 2x + 1

Second odd number = 2x + 3

According to given conditions:

32 + 2x + 1= 3 (2x + 3)

33 + 2x = 6x + 9

Taking terms with x to left and constants to right

2x - 6x = 9 - 33 (sign of transferred terms will be changed)

-4x = -24

Dividing both sides by -4

x = -24/-4

x =6

So,

First odd number = 2x + 1 = 2*6 + 1 = 12 + 1 =13

Second odd number = 2x + 3= 2*6 +3= 12 + 3 = 15

I hope it will help you!
