Answer:
512 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the parking lot at the Red Hill Shopping Center, the angle of sight (elevation) to the top of the hill is about 25. From the base of the hill you can also sight the top but at an angle of 55. The horizontal distance between sightings is 740 feet. How high is Red Hill? Show your subproblems.
Solution:
Let x be the distance from the base of the hill to the middle of the hill perpendicular to the height, let h be the height of the hill. Therefore:
tan 25 = h/(x + 740)
h = (x + 740)tan 25 (1)
tan 55 = h / x
h = x tan 55 (2)
Hence:
(x + 740)tan 25 = xtan 55
0.4663(x + 740) = 1.428x
0.4663x + 345.07 = 1.428x
0.9617x = 345.07
x = 359 ft.
h = xtan55 = 359 tan(55) = 512 ft.
Answer: <em>D. 120 students</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>This is an easy solution</em>
<em>Take 300 and divide it by 5</em>
<em>300/5</em>
<em>This will result in 40</em>
<em>Now Multiply 40 by 3</em>
<em>Like so: 40x3</em>
<em>This will result in </em><em>120</em>
Answer:
linear and y = 2x + 19
Step-by-step explanation:
the x- values increment by 2 and the values of y increment by 4
This indicates a linear relationship exists in the form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
m = 
= 
= 2
y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c use any ordered pair from the table
using (- 5, 9 ), then
9 = - 10 + c ⇒ c = 9 + 10 = 19
y = 2x + 19 ← linear equation
As a check
x = - 7 : y = - 14 + 19 = 5 ← correct value of y
x = - 5 : y = - 10 + 19 = 9 ← correct value of y
x = - 3 : y = - 6 + 19 = 13 ← correct value of y
x = - 1 : y = - 2 + 19 = 17 ← correct value of y
