Please find the attached diagram for a better understanding of the question.
As we can see from the diagram,
RQ = 21 feet = height of the hill
PQ = 57 feet = Distance between you and the base of the hill
SR= h=height of the statue
=Angle subtended by the statue to where you are standing.
= which is unknown.
Let us begin solving now. The first step is to find the angle which can be found by using the following trigonometric ratio in :
Which gives to be:
Now, we know that and can be added to give us the complete angle in the right triangle .
We can again use the tan trigonometric ratio in to solve for the height of the statue, h.
This can be done as:
Thus, the height of the statue is approximately, 8.45 feet.
Answer:
h(x) = x/2 - 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the procedure for finding the inverse function algebraically:
1. Replace the label 'f(x)' with the label 'y:' y = 2x + 1
2. Interchange x and y: x = 2y + 1
3. Solve the resulting equation for y: 2y = x - 1, or y = (1/2)(x - 1) or y = x/2 - 1/2
This result corresponds to the 1st given possible answer choice.
The desired inverse function is h(x) = x/2 - 1/2
Answer:
4 bars
Step-by-step explanation:
Gail's ratio of bars to bottles is ...
20 : 15 = 4 : 3
For 3 bottles, she should pack 4 bars.
