If you move the decimal from left to right, then you make it either a whole number or a percentage.
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:
The method used is substitution method
x = 2, y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the simultaneous equation
Y = −3x ..... 1
4x + y = 2 ... 2
Substitute equation 1 into 2
4x + (-3x) = 2
4x - 3x = 2
x = 2
Get y:
y = -3x
y = -3(2)
y = -6
<em>Hence the value of (x, y) is (2, -6)</em>
