While surveying Overlook Cave, Mike measures the angle of elevation from his line of sight to the top of a rock formation as 22°

. The rock formation is 10 feet away and he is measuring from a point 3 feet above the floor of the cave. To the nearest tenth of a foot, how high is the rock formation?

Answer:

The rock formation is approximately 7 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>We can visualize this situation as a triangle and know that the bottom side is </em><em>10</em><em> and the angle of elevation (the angle created by Mike and the ground, looking to the top of a rock). With this information, we can use tangent to solve.</em>

<em>x = the height of the rock formation</em>

tan(22°) = x/10

10 tan(22°) = x

x = ~4.04 feet

<em>We also have to add the </em><em>3 feet</em><em> to it because it is being measured 3 feet above the floor.</em>

x + 3 = 7.04 feet

mash [69]

Answer:

x = 5 and x = -19

Step-by-step explanation:

You're on the right track.  It's the "discriminant" that tells you what you want to know here.  Before starting, arrange the terms of your quadratic in descending orders of x:  5x^2 + 14x - 19 = 0 (Note that I assumed you meant 14x instead of just 14).

Then the coefficients of this quadratic are a = 5, b = 14 and c = -19.

You are referring to the "quadratic formula."  It states this:

      -b ± √(b²-4ac)

x = -----------------------

               2a                                        

So, we insert the a, b and c values as indicated above:

      -14 ± √( 14² - 4[5][-19] )        -14 ± √(196 - 4[5][-19] )        -14 ± √576

x = ----------------------------------- = ---------------------------------- = ----------------------

                 2(10)                                 20                                      20

This comes out to:

x = (-14 + 24) / 2      and     x = (-14 - 24) / 2

or:

x = 5 and x = -19

jonny [76]

Answer:C. Ordinal

The data should not used to calculate the average.

Step-by-step explanation: Ordinal level of measurement is the second level of measurement that is concerned with ordering, ranking and classification of data,it does not show the rate or degree of variation between a set of data.

Stanley Smith Stevens is the one who classified data into four levels of measurement,he is a psychologist and a statistician, the data collected should not be used to calculate the AVERAGE of a set of numbers.

12. The circumference of a quarter is about 76 mm. What is
77julia77 [94]

Answer: A= 460 mm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the circumference formula is :

C = 2 π r

Where r is the radius, we can solve the formula for the radius replacing with the value given:

76 =2 π r

76 / (2 π) = r

r = 12.1 mm

Now , we have to apply the formula for the area of a circle.

A = π r^2

A = π (12.1)^2

A= 459.96 mm2= 460 mm2 (rounded to the nearest tenth, since .9 is higher than .5)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
