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?

7 0

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

Some algae contains up to 50% oil by weight. How much oil is in a 7.3-ounce sample of this type of algae?
frutty [35]

Answer: 3.65

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking basically what is 50% or 1/2 of 7.3.

Let's expand the number 7.3

Then, we end up getting 7.30.

We have to find 1/2 of 7.30.

\frac{1}{2} of 7.30 = 3.65

Hope this helps you!

My number has a tens digit that is 8 more than the ones digit. Zero is not one of my digits. Write the 2-digit number that match
pochemuha

Answer:

The number is 91

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the ones place digit and y be the tens place digit,

Then the number would be 10y + x,

We have,

y - x = 8

Possible values of y and x = { (8, 0), (9, 1) }

∵ 0 is not the digit of the number,

Hence, y = 9 and x = 1

Therefore, required number = 10(9) + 1 = 90 + 1 = 91

Systems of Linear Equations What are the different ways to solve a system of linear equations? When do you get an answer to a sy
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Different ways to solve a system of linear equations:

  • isolate one variable in one equation and replace it in the other equation
  • multiply/divide one equation by a constant and then add/subtract it to the other one, so that only one variable remains
  • graph the equation and look at the intersection point

If you graph the system:

  • there is only one solution if the lines intersects at only one point
  • there is no solution if the lines don't intersect each other (they are parallel)
  • there are infinitely many solutions if the lines overlap each other (they are the same equation multiplied by some constant)

Step-by-step explanation:

1st system

y = -x – 7  

y = 4/3 x – 7  

solution: x= 0, y = 7

2nd system

y = -3x – 5  

y = x + 3  

solution: x = -2, y = 1

3rd system

y = -2x + 5  

y = 1/3 x – 2

solution:  x = 3, y = -1

4th system

3x + 2y = 2  

x + 2y = -2  

solution: x = 2, y = -2

5th system

x + 3y = -9  

2x – y = -4

solution:  x = -3, y = -2

6th system

x – 2y = 2

-x + 4y = -8

solution:  x = -4, y = -3

7th system

5x + y = -2  

x + y = 2

solution: x = -1, y = -3
