Draw a triangle with shortest side on the ground (horiz.). The length of this side is 80 feet. Two angles touch the ground: a right angle, and the 70 degree angle.
Then the height of the building is the 2nd shortest side.
The tangent function is the appropriate one to use here:
opp h
tan 70 deg = -------- = ----------
adj 80 ft
h
Since tan 70 deg = 2.75, 2.75 = -------
80 ft
so h = building height = (80 ft)(2.75) = 219.8 ft
Answer:
y = 5 -
73/8 = -0.443 or y = 5 +
73/8 = 1.693
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1: Equation
step 2: Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
maybe 28 is the answer...
How many girls like sports? well, what's 2/5 of 1200? well, is just their product, 2/5 * 1200.
how many boys like sports? well, what's 3/5 of 1200? 3/5 * 1200.
