You are looking at the top of a building and thinking it would be great to make a zipline from the top to your current location.

You measure the angle of elevation as 37 degrees and you are 123 feet from the base of the building . How long a zipline is needed if you are 6 feet tall ? Include a sketch that shows all known information and clearly shows what you need to find. Show all work and give the answer rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer:

52 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem, we are given that the angle of elevation as 37 degrees and you are 123 feet from the base of the building. How long a zipline is needed if you are 6 feet tall?

Let us consider a triangle  

A

B

C

in which we have a line from  

A

to  

B

C

with a point named  

D

Given that  

D

C

=

152

foot and  

∠

D

A

B

=

28

∘

,

∠

C

A

B

=

39

∘

.

Now we have to find the height of the flagpole  

A

B

So, from the applying the tangent formula we get,

tan

(

39

)

=

B

C

A

A

B

=

(

D

C

)

(

0.809

)

(

equation 2

)

tan

(

)

=

B

D

A

B

A

B

=

100

(

0.531

)

(

equation 1

)

Now, we have two expressions for AB so we we equate both equations 1 and 2,

(

100

+

D

C

)

(

0.809

)

=

100

(

0.531

)

D

C

=

(

1.523

−

1

)

D

C

=

100

(

0.523

)

D

C

=

523

Therefore, the length of the zipline is  

52

feet.

AC approx 154ft

Step-by-step explanation:

COS 37 degrees = base/hypotenuse

0.7986=123/AC

AC=123/0.7986

=154.019534

AC approx 154ft

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the graph of y = 2x - 5 and passes through the point (8, 10)?
Kruka [31]

We know that the equation of a line is given by

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

To find it we need the slope m and a point that the line passes thorugh. In this case we have the point (8,10) but we don't know the slope. What we know is that the line we are looking for is parallel to the line

y=2x-5

We also know that for two lines to be parallel they have the same slope. Then, if we fin the slope of the line y=2x-5, we have the slope of the line we are looking for. To find the slope of the line y=2x-5 we note that it is written in the slope-intercept form

y=mx+b

From this we know that the slope is multiplying the x variable when it is written in that form. Hence m=2.

Then the line we are looking for has an slope of 2 and passes through the point (8,10). Pluggin the values in the equation of a line we have.

y-10=2(x-8)

Writting it in the slope intercept form we have

\begin{gathered} y-10=2(x-8) \\ y-10=2x-16 \\ y=2x-16+10 \\ y=2x-6 \end{gathered}

Then the line parallel to y=2x-5 and passes through the point (8,10) is

y=2x-6
