A developer is building a scale model of the city. From the roof of an apartment complex, the developer points two lasers at the

taller office building across the street. The first laser points to the base of the building and the second laser points to the top of the building. The first laser beam has an angle of depression of 36° and is 155.7 feet long. The second has an angle of elevation of 32° and is 148.6 feet long. How tall is the office building? How far apart are the apartment complex and the office building? Round your answers to the nearest foot.

Answer:

a. 170 ft b. 126 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a. How tall is the office building?

The two laser lights with the length of the taller office building, L form a triangle with sides 155.7 feet, 148.6 feet and L with angle 36° + 32° = 68° facing the taller office building.

We use the cosine rule to find the length of taller office building.

So, L² = 155.7² + 148.6² - 2(155.7)(148.6)cos68°

L² = 24242.49 + 22081.96 - 46,274.04(0.3746)

L² = 46324.45 - 17334.56

L² = 28989.89

L = √28989.89

L = 170.26 ft

L ≅ 170 ft

b. How far apart are the apartment complex and the office building?

Using one of the lights, the distance between the buildings, d, the laser light(being the hypotenuse side) and the building (being the opposite side)form a right angled triangle.

So, using the 155.7 feet light at 36 angle,

cos36 = d/155.7

d = 155.7cos36

d = 155.7(0.8090)

d = 125.96 ft

d ≅ 126 ft

The solution to given system of equations is (x, y) = (2, -1)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given system of equations are:

-1x + 2y = -4  -------- eqn 1

4x + 3y = 5 ------- eqn 2

We can solve the above system of equations by elimination method

<em><u>Multiply eqn 1 by 4</u></em>

4(-1x + 2y = -4)

-4x + 8y = -16  ------ eqn 3

<em><u>Add eqn 2 and eqn 3</u></em>

4x + 3y = 5

-4x + 8y = -16

( + ) --------------------

0x + 11y = -16 + 5

11y = -11

y = -1

<em><u>Substitute y = -1 in eqn 1</u></em>

-1x + 2(-1) = -4

-x -2 = -4

-x = -4 + 2

-x = -2

x = 2

<em><u>Check the answer:</u></em>

Substitute x = 2 and y = -1 in eqn 2

4x + 3y = 5

4(2) + 3(-1) = 5

8 - 3 = 5

5 = 5

Thus the obtained answer is correct

Thus the solution to given system of equations is (x, y) = (2, -1)

What is the answer to this??
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

x=3

z=65

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+97 and 14x+73  are vertical angles which means they are equal

6x+97= 14x+73

Subtract 6x from each side

6x-6x+97= 14x-6x+73

97 = 8x +73

Subtract 73 from each side

97-73 = 8x+73-73

24 = 8x

Divide each side by 8

24/8 = 8x/8

3 = x

Now we need to find z

6x+97  and z are supplementary angles which means they add to 180

6x+97 +z = 180

6(3) +97 +z = 180

18+97+z=180

Combine like terms

115+z = 180

Subtract 115 from each side

115-115 +z=180-115

z = 65

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

5F + -9  C= 160       39°F = 3.9

Step-by-step explanation:

A Table showing Freezing Temperatures in degrees with 2 columns and 6 rows. The First row, F, has the entries, negative 13, negative 4, 5, 14, 23. The second column, C, has the entries, negative 25, negative 20, negative 15, negative 10, negative 5.

The table shows temperatures below freezing measured in different units. Complete the equation in standard form to represent the relationship between F, a temperature measured in degrees Fahrenheit, and C, a temperature measured in degrees Celsius.

5F + -9 C = 160

39°F = 3.9°C rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree
