Answer:

148ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, you'll have to imagine the statue makes a right angle triangle with the base since it has an angle of elevation from the base to the top of the torch.

Assuming the height from the pedestal to the top of the torch is y

The height of the statue is x

But we know the height of the pedestal = 150ft

The distance from the observer to the base of the pedestal = 250ft

And the angle of elevation = 50°

See attached document for better illustration.

Tanθ = opposite / adjacent

θ = 50°

Adjacent = 250

Opposite = y

Tan50 = t / 250

y = 50 × tan50

y = 50 × tan50

y = 50 × 1.1917

y = 297.925ft

The height of the statue from the base of the pedestal to the top of the torch is 297.925ft

The height of the statue = x

x = (height of the statue + height of the pedestal) - height of the pedestal

x = y - 150

x = 297.925 - 150

x = 147.925ft

Approximately 148ft

The height of the statue is 148ft

Una persona asegura que su casa tiene forma rectangular y que el perímetro de la misma es de 18 m y que además, su área es de 21
leva [86]

Considerando las fórmulas para el perímetro y el área de un rectángulo, hay que se chega en una <u>eccuación cuadrática sin solución</u>, o sea, las medidas no son posibles y la persona estaba mintiendo.

<h3>¿Cuál es la fórmula para el perímetro y el área de un rectángulo?</h3>

Considerando que las dimensiones son l y w, hay que:

  • El perímetro es: P = 2(l + w).
  • El área es: A = lw.

El <u>perímetro es de 18 m</u>, o sea:

2(l + w) = 18

l + w = 9

l = 9- w.

El <u>área es de 21 m²</u>, o sea:

lw = 21

(9- w)w = 21

-w² + 9 - 21 = 0

w² - 9w + 21 = 0

El discriminante es dado por:

D = 9² - 4 x 1 x 21 = -3.

El discriminante negativo implica que la <u>eccuación cuadrática no tiene solución</u>, o sea, las medidas no son posibles y la persona estaba mintiendo.

I need help on this,
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can eliminate answer A because when X=1, Y must equal 33.75 not 33.

You can eliminate answer B because when X=0, Y must equal 0 not 1.

You can eliminate answer D because this answer has the X and Y coordinates reversed.  When X=1, Y= 33.75.  When X=4, Y=135, etc.

The equation of the given Absolute Value Function is; y = |-2x + 4|

<h3>How to interpret Linear Graphs?</h3>

We can see that the given graph is a Linear graph but since it is V-shaped, we can say that it is a graph of an absolute value function.

Now, from the graph we see that;

At x = 0, y = 4

At x = 1, y = 2

At x = 2, y = 0

At x = 3, y = -2

At x = 4, y = 0

At x = 5, y = 2

We can see that the y-intercept is at y = 4.

Slope between two consecutive points is;

(2 - 4)/(1 - 0) = -2

Equation is; y = -2x + 4

Now, this is an absolute value function and as such we will write it as;

y = |-2x + 4|
