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
Factor the equation. Remember the value should add to the b value and multiply to the c value.
x^2-x-12= 0
(x-4)(x+3)=0
Use the zero product property to find roots
x-4=0
x=4
x+3=0
x=-3
Final answer: x=-3, x=4
Answer:
9 units
Step-by-step explanation:
By the midsegment theorem,

Since the ratio
then
and

Draw two heights LE and MF. Quadrilateral ELMF is a rectangle, then EF = LM = 6 units.
Trapezoid KLMN is isosceles trapezoid (KL = MN), then KE = FN and

Consider right triangle KLE. By the Pythagorean theorem,

Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + x=2
Subtract 2 from each side
x^2 + x-2=2-2
x^2 + x-2=0
Factor
What 2 numbers multiply to -2 and add to 1
2*-1 = -2
2+-1 =1
(x-1)(x+2)=0
Using the zero product property
x-1 = 0 x+2 = 0
x=1 x = -2
Product of the roots
1*-2 = -2
Yes
factor out the 2z^2 in each term
(2z^2)(z^2-5z+4)
factor some more
z^2-5z+4
find what 2 numbers multiply to get 4 and add to get -5
the numbers are -1 and -4
(z-1)(z-4)
the factored form is
(2z^2)(z-1)(z-4)
