Kathy is standing directly between two tall buildings which are 100 feet apart. Her eye level is 5 feet above the ground. Kathy

looks up at the top of the taller building and the top of the shorter building with angles of 45 degrees and 38 degrees above the horizontal, respectively. What is the difference in height between the taller building and the shorter building, to the nearest foot?

Angle of taller building Tan 45° = opposite (height of the building)/ adjacent 50 feet (distance between Kathy and the taller building

Tan 45° = 1

Height of taller building from eye level = multiplying adjacent 50 feet * Angle (Tan 45°) 1 = 50 feet opposite

 

Angle of smaller building Tan 38° = 0.781

Height of smaller building from eye level = Angle * adjacent 50 feet = 39.06 feet

 

 

 

Difference of eye level from ground is 5 feet

Taller building height is 50 + 5

Total height of taller building is 55 feet.

Smaller building height is 39.06 + 5

Total height of smaller building is 44.06 feet

A square has side length 3.4 cm. The side length of the enlargement is 17 cm. Determine the scale factor.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The scale factor is <u>5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale factor, we divide 17 by 3.4 to find how much it was enlarged by.

17/3.4 = 5

We do this becuase when finding the scale factor, we take the dilated shape/side length and divide it by the original shape/side length.

Answer:

slope = 2, vertical intercept = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercept, also called the y-intercept, is where the line crosses the y-axis

The vertical line (y-int) is crossed at 10, so vertical intercept = 10

Slope equals rise over run:

The line goes up 10 and moves right 5

10/5 = 2

This line has a positive 2 slope
