See picture below for a geometric view.
Let x = height of building
We use basic trigonometry to find x.
The tangent function = opposite side of right triangle OVER adjacent side of right triangle.
tan(2°) = x/1
Solve for x.
After multiplying both sides by 1 (here 1 represents 1 mile), we get
tan(2°) = x.
We now use the calculator to find x.
In fact, you can take it from here. Use your calculator.
Answer:
y = -1/4x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
the perpendicular slope would be -1/4
2 = -1/4 (-16) + b
b = -2
the equation should be y = -1/4x -2
None of the answers you typed could be correct.
Let x be the initial width, then the initial length is x+20.
<span>If Elise decreases this length by 8 feet, she will get the new length x+20-8=x+12.
</span>
If Elise increases the width by 10 feet, <span>she will get the new width x+10.
</span><span>
</span><span>The new perimeter will be x+12+x+12+x+10+x+10=4x+44=172, 4x=172-44, 4x=128, x=128÷4, x=32.
</span><span>
</span><span>The initial width is 32 ft and the initial length is 32+20=52 ft.
</span><span>
</span><span>The new width will be 32+10=42 ft, the new length will be 32+12=44 ft.
