The task represents triangle with 90 degrees angle bellow top of the waterslide. that means that we can yous trigonometry functions to find out all the angles or lengths of triangle.

In this case we need to find height which we will find using tan function.
tan(13) = x/58.2
x = 58.2*tan(13) =  13.43m

Answer is 13.43 meters

Use the augmented matrix method to solve the following system of equations. Your answers may be given as decimals or fractions.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

x\ =\ \dfrac{21}{5}

y\ =\ \dfrac{3}{5}

z = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are

x - 2y - z = 2

x + 3y - 2z = 4

-x + 2y + 3z = 2

from the given equations the augmented matrix can be written as

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&-1:2\\1&3&-2:4\\-1&2&3:2\end{array}\right]

R_2=>R_2-R_1\ and\ R_3=>R_3+R_1

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&-1:2\\0&5&-1:2\\0&0&2:4\end{array}\right]

R_2=>\dfrac{R_2}{5}

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&-1:2\\0&1&\dfrac{-1}{5}:\dfrac{2}{5}\\0&0&2:4\end{array}\right]

R_1=>R_1+2.R_2

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-1-\dfrac{2}{5}:2+\dfrac{4}{5}\\\\0&1&\dfrac{-1}{5}:\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\0&0&2:4\end{array}\right]

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&\dfrac{-7}{5}:\dfrac{14}{5}\\\\0&1&\dfrac{-1}{5}:\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\0&0&2:4\end{array}\right]

R_3=>\dfrac{R_3}{2}

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&\dfrac{-7}{5}:\dfrac{14}{5}\\\\0&1&\dfrac{-1}{5}:\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\0&0&1:2\end{array}\right]

R_1=>R_1+\dfrac{7}{5}R_3\ and\ R_2+\dfrac{1}{5}R_3

=\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0:\dfrac{14}{5}+\dfrac{7}{5}\\\\0&1&0:\dfrac{2}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\0&0&1:2\end{array}\right]

So, from the above augmented matrix, we can write

x\ =\ \dfrac{21}{5}

y\ =\ \dfrac{3}{5}

z = 2

Sharon is 54 inches tall. tree in her backyard is five times as tall as she is. the floor of her treehouse is at a height that i
mafiozo [28]
First to solve this problem you are going to figure out how tall the tree is. So if Sharon is 54 inches and the tree 5 times the height she is you would do 54*5= 270. Next you go to find out how tall the floor of her tree house is. It says the floor is twice the height of her so you would do 54*2=108. Then the problem asks the difference between the top of the tree and the floor of the tree house. So 270-108=162. I hope this helped. :) Brainliest answer?

Sonbull [250]

Answer: Arithmetic and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

12 - 9 = 3 9 - 6 = 3 The common difference is equal and is three and so it is an arithmetic sequence

12/9 = 4/3 9/6 = 3/2 The ratio is not equal so this is not a geometric sequence

40 apps.

Explanation:
60 divided by 12 is 5. That’s how many downloading sessions could fit in a minute. Multiply 5 by the number of apps, which is 8. Your answer is 40 apps.
