Answer:

84 feet to the nearest foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a right angled triangle with adjacent side (A) = 100 and you want to find the height of the tower, the opposite side (O).

A = 100 , O = ? so we need the tangent , (from SOH-CAH-TOA).

tan 40 = O/ 100

O = 100 tan 40

= 83.9 feet.

Multiple Representations:Question 1
alexdok [17]

Answer:

y = 27.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the value of x:

x = 12

and we need to find the value of y in the expression:

y = x + 15.1

as we can see by the equation, the value of y depends on the value of x.

thus, we substitute x = 12 on the previous equation:

y = 12 + 15.1

y = 27.1

the value of y is 27.1

Which best explains how you know that P(2, 7) is on the same line as Q(7, 4) and R(12, 1)?
Helen [10]

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

The best explanation is noticing that in order to get from the point R (12, 1) to the point Q (7, 4) we move 5 units to the left and 3 units up. And to go from point Q (7, 4) to point P (2, 7) we do exactly the same: move 5 units to the left and 3 units up. That means that these points are all connected via the same rate of change:  - 3/5, which is in fact the slope of the line the three points belong to.

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is 14. The 25th term is 206. What is the common difference of the arithmetic sequence?
larisa [96]

an = a1+ d(n-1)

a1 =14

an=206  when n=25

206 = 14 + d (25-1)

206 = 14 + d * 24

subtract 14 from each side

192 = 24d

divide by 24 on each side

d=8

The common difference is 8
