Answer:

C. 185 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The work is in the attached picture file, if you need it. Basically the question sets up a right triangle, for which the base is 200 and the height is the goal that you are solving for. It is given that the angle between hypotenuse and base is 42 degrees. For this you use tangent to say that

         tan(42) = h / 200

         200 tan (42) = h

         h = 180 feet.

But then you must remember that this triangle starts 5 feet off of the ground. So you add the 5 feet and get 185 feet as the height of the tower.

The altitude in feet of a plan minutes after is given by =3400 +600. How many after liftoff is the plane at an altitude of 21,00
nekit [7.7K]
A= 3400t + 600 | given formula
21000= 3400t + 600 | substitute the altitude into the formula
20400 = 3400 | subtract 600 from both sides
6 = t | divide both sides by 3400

In a recent basketball game, the
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

2 points throw = 37

3 points throw = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Let number of

2 points = x ; 3 points = y

x + y = 48 - - - (1)

2x + 3y = 107 ---(2)

x = 48 - y

Then ;

2(48 - y) + 3y = 107

96 - 2y + 3y = 107

96 + y = 107

y = 107 - 96

y = 11

From (1)

x = 48 - 11

x = 37

2 points throw = 37

3 points throw = 11
