Answer:

799 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using the Trigonometric function of Tangent.

tan theta = Opposite /Adjacent

From the above question, we have the height of the surveyor = 5.5 feet

theta = Angle of elevation = 65°

Adjacent = 370 feet

Let Opposite = height + height of spider rock

tan 65° = h - 5.5 /370 feet

Cross Multiply

tan 65° × 370 feet = h - 5.5

793.46756059 feet = h - 5.5

h = 793.46756059 feet + 5.5

h = 798.96756059 feet

Approximately = 799 feet

The height of the Spider rock = 799 feet

Answer:

A parabola opens downward with vertex at (1,20)  

The function that models the height of bag of candies is

The graph of this function is a parabola that opens downward.

To find the maximum height of the candy bag, we complete the squares to obtain the vertex form of the function.

Factor -16 to get;

Add and subtract the square of half the coefficient of t.

Factor the perfect square trinomial:

The vertex is (1,20)

This means the maximum height after 1 second is 20 feet.

The length of the batter's box on a softball field is 1 ft more than twice the width. The area of the batter's box is 78 ft2. Fi
zlopas [31]

The length and width of the rectangular box are 13 ft and 6 ft respectively.

<h3>How to find the length and width of a rectangle?</h3>

The length of the batter's box on a softball field is 1 ft more than twice the width.

The area of the batter's box is 78 ft².

The length and width of the rectangular batter's box can be found as follows:

Therefore,

area of a rectangle = lw

where

  • l = length
  • w = width

Therefore,

area of the rectangular box = 78 ft²

l = 1 + 2w

Hence,

78 = (1 + 2w)w

78 = w + 2w²

2w² + w - 78 = 0

Hence,

w = 6  and w =  -13  /2

we can only use positive values.

Therefore,

width = 6 ft

length  = 2(6) + 1 = 13 ft
