Answer:

  • 15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Refer to attached picture</em>

  • The height  = h
  • Angles of elevation 22.6° and 38.3°
  • Closer distance  = d

<u>Use tangent to solve</u>

  • tan 22.6° = h/(d + 17) ⇒ h = (d + 17) tan 22.6° ⇒ h = 0.42(d + 17)
  • tan 38.3° = h/d          ⇒ h = d tan 38.3°           ⇒ h = 0.79d

<u>Compare the equations above and find the value of d:</u>

  • 0.42(d + 17) = 0.79d
  • 0.42d + 7.14 = 0.79d
  • 0.79d - 0.42d = 7.14
  • 0.37 d = 7.14
  • d = 7.14/0.37
  • d = 19.3 m

<u>Now find the value of h:</u>

  • h = 0.79d
  • h = 0.79*19.3
  • h = 15

What is the answer for -5-(15y-1)=2(7y-16)-y
kari74 [83]
First distribute the negative through the parenthesis on the left and the 2 on the right.
-5 -15y +1 = 14y -32 - y
Combine like terms on the right and left
-4 -15y = 13y -32
Now move the variables to one side and the constants to the other.
Subtract 13y from both sides
-4 -28y = -32
Add 4 to both sides
-28y = -28
Divide both sides by -28
y = 1

Option D is the correct answer.
When comparing two congruent triangles, you can look at the order of the letters to see which ones are congruent.
In this case, YES = NOT
YE = NO since both YE and NO are the first two letters.

Consider the square root function f(x) = sqrt x + 2 + 1 to complete the table of values below. find each missing value and then
Scrat [10]

Given the function :

f(x)=\sqrt[]{x+2}+1

We need to find each missing value

Given x = -3 , -2 , -1 , 2 , 7

So, substitute with each value of x to find the corresponding value of f(x)

x=-3\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-3+2}+1=\sqrt[]{-1}+1

So, there is no value for f(x) at x = -3 (the function undefined because the square root of -1)

\begin{gathered} x=-2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{0}+1=0+1=1 \\  \\ x=-1\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-1+2}+1=\sqrt[]{1}+1=1+1=2 \\  \\ x=2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{4}+1=2+1=3 \\  \\ x=7\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{7+2}+1=\sqrt[]{9}+1=3+1=4 \end{gathered}

the graph of the function and the points will be as shown in the following image :

2. The height of one square pyramid is 24 m. A similar pyramid has a height of 8 m. The volume of the larger pyramid is 648 m3.
Dmitrij [34]
Larger PyramidHeight 24 Volume 648

Pyramid Volume = (Area of the Base * Height) ÷ 3648 = Base Area * 24 / 3Base Area = 648 * 3 / 24Base Area = 648 / 8Base Area = 81Base Length = 9
a) The Scale Factor between the Small & Large PyramidLength - 3LATERAL Area - 9Volume - 27

Slant Height^2 = 4.5^2 + 24^2Slant Height^2 = <span> <span> 596.25 </span> </span> <span><span>Slant Height^2 = 24.4182308941 </span> </span>
b)
Large Pyramid Area = (½ * Perimeter of Base * Slant Height) + Base AreaLarge Pyramid Area = (.5 * 36 * <span>24.4182308941) + 81
</span>Large Pyramid Area = 439.5281560938 + 81
Large Pyramid TOTAL Area = <span> <span> 520.5281560938 </span> </span> <span>Large Pyramid LATERAL Area =<span> 439.5281560938 </span> </span>


**********************************************************************************c)
Smaller PyramidHeight 8Surface Area = 124
This pyramid has dimensions that are one third of the larger pyramid.Therefore, it has a base length of 3.Base Area = 9.
Its base perimeter would be 12.
Small Pyramid Volume = (Area of the Base * Height) ÷ 3Small Pyramid Volume = ( 9 * 8 ) / 3Small Pyramid Volume = 72 / 3
c) Small Pyramid Volume =24 cubic meters

d) Ratio of larger pyramid volume to smaller pyramid volume648 / 24 = 27The reason? Volume is a 3 dimensional quantity.  The Larger pyramid is 3 times larger in terms of the base measurement.9 meters vs 3 meters - a factor of 3When we compare volumes, we have to cube this factor.3^3 = 27
